| 2006-11-01 |
| Ah, the benefits of 'multiculturalism'. Dontya just love it? Lawrenceville, GA - A jury Wednesday found an Ethiopian immigrant guilty of the genital mutilation of his 2-year-old daughter in what was believed to be the first criminal case in the United States involving the ancient African tradition. Khalid Adem, 30, was convicted of aggravated battery and cruelty to children. He could get up to 40 years in prison. Prosecutors said Adem used scissors to remove his daughter's clitoris in his family's Atlanta-area apartment in 2001. The child's mother, Fortunate Adem, said she did not discover it until more than a year later. |

| #5 I gotta have some small bit of sympathy based on what I heard on the radio this morning, but the deed was still done, regardless of who is ratting on whom and somebody(ies) needs to do lots of hard time. People need to know we aren't going to tolerate this barbarity. If they want to act this way, they should go back to the old country. |

| #1 As a resident of Lawrenceville, let me be the first to say this supposedly happened in Loganville. Now, that that's straight, the perp (daddy) is playing OJ's card....ya know, he'll be the first one to find out who the REAL genital mutilator is. I'm actually surprised in this neck of the woods he made it out alive. Rednecks "round here" would probably love to mutilate his genitals in return, lol! |
