Border officials waved her through. Even if local education authorities had inquired, what was to stop her abusers from presenting the same "evidence" of her age?<br /><br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-42047308155093065442013-10-18T10:40:59.065-07:002013-10-18T10:40:59.065-07:00But wasn't this child kept in the cellar?
