Rifqa Bary Might Get New Foster Home
by Meredith Heagney, The Columbus Dispatch
COLUMBUS, OH - Attorneys for Fathima Rifqa Bary want the 17 year-old Columbus runaway moved to a different foster home, according to a court document.
Rifqa is living in a foster home because she has said her father threatened to kill her for converting from Islam to Christianity, spurring her to run away to Florida in July. A dependency case determining where she should live is making its way through Franklin County Juvenile Court.
Through the discovery process used to clarify evidence, Franklin County Children Services made the names of Rifqa's foster parents available to everyone involved in the case, according to the motion to move her that was filed Monday by attorneys Kort Gatterdam and Angela Lloyd and Rifqa's guardian ad litem, Bonnie Vangeloff.
The names could be used to search for an address, and Rifqa could be at risk, the attorneys wrote, saying that both Rifqa and her parents have been threatened.
