One of the articles said "Maria" was also immature for her age. If Lisa's height is accurate she is off the charts tall for her age. She really does look like her. If by some crazy chance it were her, I'm afraid I would have to stand hard against her being returned to those awful parents though. Just sayin.
Very cool ! Actually was wondering how some of these headlines were making some people feel and worried about the use of the term "Gypsy" in the news items.
Although I have been taught that "Roma' was a more respectful title, in some documentaries that I have watched concerning traveling people, they said that they prefer to be called Gypsy.
Everyone from everywhere has some title assigned to them, positive and negative- yes some associate Roma with child theft , but they are also known to many as great musicians and singers!
Good people, bad people of all stripes- it just depends on which ever group happens to be in the "hot seat" at the right/wrong time,to be demonized imo.
I thought the DNA test can distinguish the part of the world the person comes from..
Is it not the case?
Thank you for that. I don't mind the title "Gypsy" but many do. My screen name is Spanish for "Gypsy girl". (Pronunced hee tah nah). I'm proud of my heritage. But I'm also realistic. The Roma are a pariah society, never accepted, always marginalized, so they live off the host society but never a real part of it. Historically, Roma have engaged in horse trading, tinkering and entertainment. (Generalization). Poverty has led to a number engaged in criminal activity like drugs and begging.
But my own people were products of the royal edict of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, that Roma must stop being nomadic and any who did would be tortured to death. They retreated to camps and caves and developed the art of Flamenco. That's what my whole family is, professional Flamenco dancers, singers, guitarists. That's how my mom met my dad. She went to Spain to study Flamenco dance and worked with my dad's sisters who began performing as children. My poor uncle left home at 15 to travel the world playing guitar. It was not an easy life. But especially under the Franco dictatorship, it was hard for Gypsies to get jobs. But our people are more prosperous than the street Gypsies and do not engage in crinal activity, at all. We are the same tribe/group as the Gypsy Kings (musical group) from France.

Thanks for posting video. It looks like she is being trained to dance Roma style.
" Maria's" hair does look more like strawberry blonde and appears to me to have that somewhat bulging fore-head that some might consider a sign of lack of vitamin D imo.
Interesting that she has kept her pale skin and yet possibly begs in the outdoors of a hot Greek climate....hoping that her" work "is outside anyway...
Doesn't look like the same child. But could be of the same ethnicity (russian).

Yes according to this, I guess it just depends on what they are looking for. Evidently the test they did just showed that she is not the child of the two that claim to be the parents.
