the my newspaper reported the mother is worried and been dodging reporters' efforts to get her comment and someone who claimed is quite close to the family wanted to look for her and bring her back to her family. read more here

zaharah othman, the group's correspondent in uk wrote a story about her encounter with sufiah two years ago here, and here, this one is an interview done by telegraph with her ex-husband. and this one done by daily mail here.

========================================================

remember the child genius, sufiah yusuf, who won a place in oxford when she was 13? well, it's all over the web and uk, i think, the allaged news that she is now making a living as a hooker or prostitute or 'working girl' whichever slang you may think fits.

you can read the whole story via this link : here but i must warn you, the pictures included with the article by keith gladdis are quite explicit, though i think one of the pic is not hers.

if this is true, and the writer/reporter is not making wild accusation (i'm not familiar with the newspaper, so i can't say for sure it's a reputable source, but news of the world is quite popular newspaper i think) i think it's quite sad and a lost to many, not just the family, but also to women all over the world, this child who was at one time, seen as an idol, is now living in some apartment in manchester selling her body for 130 pounds.

i'm still seeking conformation with a friend who is studying in uk, perhaps she heard something and can verify whether this is true.

our local newspaper also have the same stuff printed today.
