eanjay, sorry, there is no translation of the whole interview.

Bente, I love your rant.

Kat, there are many places on this world where things now are still as in rural USA two generations ago.

I have not read a single voice in Germany blaming the (refugees from Kosovo) Sinti parents of the 8-year old girl for letting her daughter walk alone for 1 km in a foreign (but known to her) town. That is considered quite normal over here (children walking to or from school alone). There was no blame when the girl was missing and nobody did know for sure at which point of her walk she went missing. Of course, now as it is suspected with very high confidence by the police that Jenisa had reached her destination safely but did meet in the flat not her aunt but only the boyfriend of her aunt, there is no blame either.
