The photo says it all. The male gypsy captor with the “Just Do It” t-shirt looks like he could be a liberal poster boy.

Authorities allege Dimopoulou claimed to have given birth to six children in less than 10 months, and 10 of the 14 children the couple had registered as their own are unaccounted for. It is not clear whether the 10 children are real or were made up to cheat the Greek welfare system.

I suspect the children are fictional. I remember when the IRS started requiring a Social Security number for dependent children claimed as tax exemptions, a lot of children "disappeared," i.e., had never existed.
