Rifqa can remain
Please pray for this lady. ORLANDO, FL - A 17-year-old girl who says she ran away from her Muslim family in Ohio because she feared she could be killed for converting to Christianity can remain in Florida for now. An Orlando judge signed an order Thursday sealing a police report for at least ten days until lawyers for Rifqa Bary, her parents, and child welfare officials can read it. The report contains the results of a two-week investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement into Bary's family and home life.
The attorney for Bary's mother says the report shows that the teen's fears are unfounded.
The case is headed for a trial in which the judge will hear testimony and decide whether Bary should be returned to Ohio. She has been placed with a foster family in Florida and wants to stay with them.
The judge set a pretrial hearing for the end of this month.
