Mom Visits with Daughter 12 years After Abduction

Janet Greer flew once again to Egypt, not knowing if her daughter's kidnapper would allow the child, now 15, to see her mother. The Kidnapper is the child's biological father. He kidnapped 3 year old Sarah from her mom and never allowed the tiny girl to see, or speak to her mother. This man, the child's father, even changed Sarah's name to Iya.

While Egypt is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, individuals like this kidnapper have no concern over thier actions. Indeed, it is not unusual to see children begging in Egypt----sleeping on the streets, and abandoned. Egypts children are considered "property" of the father and can be exploited in any way a father sees fit, whether it is to sell their daughters, abandoned them, force them to marry, or forbid them to know their mothers. These children grow up, and the outcome of the emotional abuse impossed on the children is evident in the actions of the kidnapper. No remorse or sense of wrong doing.

Hopeful, Janet traveled to Egypt and the kidnapper refusd to allow the child and mother to meet. However, his excessive abuse, extended for more than a decade, was too much, even for Sectretary of State, Hillary Clinton. The press and TV covered this story worldwide. As people sat in disbelief at the hardship forced on this child (she had been taught to only agree with her father or she would be punished), authorities stepped in and put pressure on the father. He finally agreed to allow the child to see her mother for the first time in 12 years.

Although there were promises to allow the child to contact her mother once the visits were over, that has not happened. One can ony hope that once this child reaches the age of 18, the father will not force her into an arranged marriage in order to continue preventing her from her God-given gift of a mother. Apparently, this kidnapper is NOT afraid of God.
