| Girl: Mom sold me to be âwifeâ | |
| 2004-05-27 | |
| A Monroe County, New York grand jury is about to hear the story of a Rochester teenager who says her mother sold her for $3,000 to another family that forced her to do household chores and have sex with a 21-year-old man... According to the girlâs statement, Lapjaniâs family is from Albania. The Democrat and Chronicle reported last year that the family members are refugees from Kosovo, a Serbian province bordering Albania and home to many ethnic Albanians. And that would make them what religion???

| #13 There's Roman Catholics too. Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic Albanian, IIRC. Yes, she was. CIA factbook sez about 10% of the population (about 358,000)is Roman Catholic. Still, methinks "mommy dearest' isn't a raging Papist. |

| #11 hmmmm - I can't see Mother Theresa selling girls into slavery, prostitution and forced marriage. Sounds more like....(wait for it).....Mooslims? |

| #9 Big Ed, I think that there is a SMALL minority of them still in Albania. Most fled in between wars to Greece, Serbia, and Montenegro. |

| #8 What happens to the Orthodox Christian minority in Albania? John Belushi had an Albanian Orthodox Christian funeral after he OD'd on Heroin. |

| #5 Sorry, I don't think he qualifies for a Darwin award- let's just erase him from history....or at least our minds. |

| #4 The men's prison system usually handles molesters and those who facilitate such. Papa will soon be Albanian mash. The cry will be that people don't understand "Albanian Culture". As the man is being handled by fellow inmates in prison, he will be told, "We understand your culture perfectly. This is called, 'Removing DNA from the genepool'". |

| #3 âMy mother told her that was where she belonged and that (the man) was her husband forever and if she left him she would die,â she wrote. Sounds like a threat of an "honor" killing. |

| #2 Note: The 21-year old man first forcibly raped the 15 YO girl then her mother sold her to him as a 'bride' (no marriage took place) against her will (or else the mother would be 'shamed'). ââIf you pay me I will let my daughter come to you,ââ the girl [12 YO Sister to the victim] wrote, quoting her mother. âShe also said she would sell her for $3,000 to $4,000. She kept talking about my sister and how she would own her.â The 12-year-old said she heard her sister tell her mother that a man in the house had raped her. On weekends, the 15-year-old would call on the telephone and beg to come home. âMy mother told her that was where she belonged and that (the man) was her husband forever and if she left him she would die,â she wrote. âMy sister kept telling her that she was not going to be forced to do this and was going to tell someone. My mom beat her even more.â Hope the mom and dad get to meed th Butches | Bulls of the state penal system. Things like this really piss me off. |

| #1 God is great, baby, lemme tell you. Wait till that so-called "mother" encounters some 300-lb butch lesbian in the women's state prison. Fire up that tattoo pen. She will "pray" to go back to the days of the athiest Albanian dictator, Enver Hoxha. |
