You may recall, from a couple of months ago, the case of Rifqa Bary, the 17-year-old Christian convert who ran away from her Muslim parents in Ohio to stay with the minister of a Florida megachurch, claiming her parents would murder her for being an apostate. Her parents assure authorities she is in no danger, but a judge ordered her placed in foster care in Florida for the time being.
Now the courts are saying she’ll be placed in foster care in Ohio, but only if her parents can provide evidence that they maintain legal immigrant status. If they can’t–and so far they haven’t–the whole family may end up being deported back to Sri Lanka!
