Sharron, the closest I can think of is where babies born at the same time were accidentally swapped, and the truth only came out much later when the children were 10ish or teens. There have been a few cases where the children have had to have two sets of parents.

One in Russia

There was one in the US also, but I can't find details.

Sharron, are you saying that if she is happy living with her abductors then she should continue to do so and they should not be charged?

On that basis that teacher who eloped with a 15 year old girl should not be charged as she seemed quite happy.

Lynda said that prehaps someone should ring SS here and have the other two children removed ....

Well when they returned to this country it was looked at and it was believed that the twins would be safe staying with their parents

What always worries me is IF they know more and IF its ever found out that they MAY know more what a HUGE pile of do da they will find themselves in!!!!

That's about the size of it.

Where is the point in traumatizing a happy little girl to uphold the letter of the law?

Sharron, on the first page of this thread, I said about the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, it's about 1,000's of children and adults being snatched by the authorities in Argentina, here's a link to a BBC news story about it it's harrowing reading, but you will see what mothers and Grandmothers did to find there children after more than 30 years.....

I know I to, would fight to my dying day to find my children, if they were taken from me.

I don't know if I could read it Lynda. I get so involved and wound up that I amin the habit of avoiding things like that.

I will have a look at it but I have to have time to psych myself up first.

If this girl is still alive it's her safety, her feelings, her happyness, her life that should be taken into account. What she says she would like to happen should be taken into account. What she remembers of what went on should be taken into account.
The world can sit & play detective but nobody knows what went on, not even the police are sure what took place. I hope she is alive simply because she will be alive, 2nd so that the guilty ones will one day be found guilty of this crime

Maybe it is best not to look then Sharron, although it is harrowing, there are some happy endings.

Please don't get yourself wound up about it all, look after yourself <3
