First, here's the rotten news. The judge has decided that Rifqa can be sent back to Ohio, where the authorities have greased the wheels to return her to her abusive family to appease the alter of political correctness.

However, the judge did throw one wrinkle into the mix:

Before the girl gets sent back, the judge says he needs immigration papers proving her status in the U.S. and proof from the state of Florida that she can continue her virtual schooling and receive credit in Ohio.

Indeed, as the Jawa Report notes, the parents and their lawyers have refused at least five times to provide immigration documents. It appears they may be in the US illegally, and managed to get a visa to enter originally by using Rifqa eye injury, something I hadn't fully taken notice of before, to get treatment but overstayed their visa. So there may be more here than meets the eye, and another thing: if they're in the US illegally, it means they were making money off of people in the jewelry business without the proper license.

Update: here's more from Atlas Shrugs on the court hearing. You know, I suppose I will have to give the judge some credit here for understanding the importance of the issues regarding the missing legal documents. And just look at how the parents' lawyer, Shaytan Elahi, popped his cork and was pretty irrational/absurd in his accusations against the defense team.

Others on the subject include Dinah Lord, Celestial Junk, Wintery Knight.
