Teenage Convert Ordered Back To Ohio; Transcript of Police Interview Released

There are at least two new developments in the case of Rifqa Barry, the 17-year old convert to Christianity who fled to Florida from Ohio, saying she was afraid that her Muslim family would kill her or send her back to Sri Lanka. Yesterday Florida Judge Daniel Dawson issued an order to the Florida Department of Children and Families to relinquish its emergency jurisdiction over the girl and arrange for her to be transported to the proper authorities with Franklin County Children Services in Ohio. The order was issued after the judge received the paperwork he had requested showing the girl's immigration status and confirming that she could remain enrolled in on online school in which she started while in Florida.

Also yesterday, Florida's Department of Law Enforcement released the full transcript of its interview with the girl on Aug. 24 shortly after she arrived in Florida. (See prior posting.)
