Something must be done to protect these children from these awful, adult men.

Hey, how about we protect children from predators, regardless of gender?
One of many examples:

Former Massachusetts teacher Christine McCallum was sentenced to 29 months in prison and 10 years probation for raping and drugging a 13-year-old student.

McCallum, 29, was arrested in January 2009 and convicted of raping the boy up to 300 times over a 21-month period. She pleaded guilty to 12 counts of child rape, one count of drugging a person for sex and one count of providing alcohol to a minor

Nice post, FigTree.

I'm almost ashamed to show my face here at the moment, being English. A case in England, of a 41-year-old abusing and making pornographic films with a 13-year old, has just been given a five-month suspended sentence.

Not only that, the prosecutor called the young victim predatory!!

I am beginning to think we have a Europe-wide problem with attitudes here, and we need a Europe-wide solution. That poor, nameless victim. Poor Maria. Something must be done to protect these children from these awful, adult men.


Thanks for the article zwiebel.
I like this ending statement in the report.
Its relevant to Maria's situation.

"It's a sad fact that this kind of attitude is commonplace within society and the legal establishment. We need to make a stand and send a clear message: It's never the child's fault."

Absolutely agree! But, I didn't read zwiebels post as gender specific, as she said:
That poor, nameless victim. Poor Maria.

I think though, zwiebel was relating it to Mara's case, and as Maria is being said as having 'voluntarily' left with Haase, that the case has turned around and made Maria a willing accomplice - not a victim.

But I do agree, there are Predators and it doesn't matter what gender or orientation they are - they are all dangerous :scared:

Well, I quoted the part I was referring to, and it was obvious.
Of course the gender of the victim is irrelevant, as women have raped and killed little girls as well.

All too true, and all too sad :(

From Please Find Maria WordPress Blog - Read More... - from Maria's mother.


Mary left her home around on 04.05.3013 with a friend to sleep .... she took her neither saved money (about 150 euros) from her piggy bank with, nor a pass. Rather, it has packed their homework because they had to give this school the following Monday ...

A runaway???

Mary got to know Mr. Haase in a children's chat, Mr. Haase was there as a teenager and was specifically looking after children .... Mary was at that time 11 years old ..

A MAN WITH PATERNAL FEELINGS THAT A CHILD TO PROTECT THE PARENTS HOUSE WILL??????

14 months ago has been determined in this context of the criminal police, unfortunately, my complaint came to nothing, but I was signaled by the CID Bielefeld, Mr. Haase was a very harmless man and butter would not melt ....

MARIA IS FOR OVER THREE MONTHS VANISHING ........................

They told her this!!??
Mr. Haase was a very harmless man
:scared:

Please help this family bring Maria home.
97 days is way too long for her to be missing.

If the 'harmless' remark is correct, someone in authority should look at how this investigation has been handled, in my opinion.

A 50-something man pretends to be a teenager in an internet chat room.

He finds an 11-year old girl and pursues, exploits and manipulates her for over a year.

He stalks her by going to the town where she lives, and her school, and calling and mailing her. I believe he even called her Mom too?

He announces in advance to his own family about his hunting of this little girl, but still he is able to take her away from under the noses of her family, her school, and authorities.

He then disappears into the air with the child, and makes police look foolish by running cirles around them. Police have no clue where he is, or where to look for him.

This man is not harmless. He is very dangerous. He will do this to another child if he isn't caught, in my opinion. Maybe an even younger one.

Now I am beginning to wonder if the search for Maria was delayed because police only looked at Haase's previous status in the community and as a former politician, and not at the crime he was committing by taking a child away from her family.

Last 'sightings' all in Switzerland. Now he's in Slovakia? So he had to cross Germany or Austria with Maria to get there? With all the kids on vacation and looking out for Maria? Either the sightings are mistaken or Haase is very confident German police will not find him.

Respectfully snipped ...

Had to put this here... Video - Kids, dont share too much online!
for parents, and all kids...

I'm sorry this wasn't out a year ago - it should be the first thing a child ever see's when they open the computer....
I wish I could embed this into the post, but I don't know how... :(

The mother of missing 13-year-old Maria has not given up hope.

"I'm looking for my child, and I'll do that until I found it and I'll use any means to bidding to me,"

she told the newspaper "Black Bote"

Thanks for all the new links guys. I can summarize the article if you don't get time, FigTree.

It is so heartbreaking - all the children are back to school here now, and the stores are full of pens and pencils and files and notebooks. They had the giant cones too. These are filled with goodies for the little seven year-olds to take in to school on their first day, as a treat.

I see 13-year olds getting off the bus and see how grown-up they think they are, but how vulnerable they are too. Haase has stolen a child from her mother. This isn't a case of a couple of teenagers with just a few years between them running off together.

I am desperately worried that Maria hasn't been found yet. I can't imagine what her Mom is going through. If Haase has been helped by anyone in this abduction, I hope they go to jail right along with him....although it's my personal opinion that when he is eventually apprehended, any punishment will be really light in comparison with what would happen in the US. I bet he's told Maria some story about how he'll go to jail for life or something though.

Do I send flowers or chocolates, or both :)
I cant even manage to type in the letters in German properly.
A short summary would do fine - seriously, Thankyou!
You seem to get all the translation jobs.
Much appreciated!

Agreed!
And, I bet Maria see's these young teenagers too - everyone with their friends and hanging out talking about the usual stuff 13 year old's talk about :( Sad. I bet her friends miss her too.

It will be interesting when it happens - and it will happen. 'When" is the question. This ducking and weaving from authorities will take its toll on both Haase and Maria at some point.

I hope you are OK Maria.
