Disney girl found safe
I have been watching with horror at the rising number of children being sexually abused and tortured, but here is one story that has a happier ending.

http://www.wftv.com/news/4487610/detail.html
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A young girl who appeared in a series of sexually explicit pictures taken at a Walt Disney World hotel and other locations for the past three years has been found and is now safe, authorities said Friday.

<snip>
The girl had been placed in foster care in 2003 when a man who had previously adopted her, whom authorities believe took the Disney World pictures, was arrested on charges related to trading child Internet porn, said Matt Irwin, a detective for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The man began serving a 15-year-sentence in a federal prison last year.

The girl, originally from Russia, was adopted by the suspect when she was 5, Irwin said.

Last month, authorities in Orlando released images of a second girl, who they didn't believe was being molested but who had appeared in photos that shared the same background as the sexually exploited girl. That girl was the victim's neighbor and friend, Irwin said.

:woohoo:

4. Great!
I am glad she is safe now, at least I hope. Most foster homes are great but there are a few that are not.
