Authorities are investigating a California girl's claim that her family tried to force her into an arranged marriage in Pakistan, prompting the 13-year-old to run away from home and hide in a nearby motel. Jesse Marie Bender disappeared from her Southern California home Feb. 22. Local and federal authorities launched a nationwide search for the child after her mother, Melissa Bender, said she thought her daughter was kidnapped by someone she met on Facebook. But the family's account fell flat when police found the girl early Wednesday hiding at the Black Horse Motel in Apple Valley, Calif. Jesse Bender, who was found unharmed and in the company of her biological uncle, told police she ran away to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage in Pakistan. Roxanne Walker, a spokeswoman with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office, told FoxNews.com that the teen lived in Hesperia, Calif., with her biological mother and stepfather, Mohammad Khan, a Pakistani native, but Walker said there were conflicting reports on whether Melissa Bender and Khan were legally married.

Has Nancy Grace acknowledged this yet?
Or is she BLIND to this too?
So marry your daughter to some terrorist over in Bummerstan, then have them both come back to this country then he brings back his family over here.
Another one of those stupid women who marries a muslim. I hope the little girl’s natural father is alive and well and is in an ass kickin’ mood. I’d like to see him practice some “sharia law” on the step father.
Arranged marriage is the Islamic euphemism for child prostitution.
They like em’ young in the Muslim World.
The stepfather is Mohammad Khan.
How many Mohammad Khans are there in Pakistan? Two million? Ten Million?
And now he wants to marry his stepdaughter to his nephew, Mohammed Kahn, so they can all come over here and produce a few more Mohammed Kahns.
Next thing you know, Sharia Law.
What the hell is a muslim trying to marry his non-muslim stepdaughter to a Pockystani? These a-holes think they own the world.
It would not be surprising if this has happened elsewhere before but went unnoticed and unreported.
“It would not be surprising if this has happened elsewhere before but went unnoticed and unreported.”
That is what scares me.
I hope this girl, if telling the truth, gets justice.
Definitely so.
Thank God her uncle helped to rescue her from the oversea pigs. This mother needs to go to jail for a long time and the her 'so-called Paki husband' who was probably fueling all of this, something needs to happen to him! I know what I would be tempted to do!!!!
As far as your comment about this happening before, not knowing for sure, but I would think that this probably has, and we know nothing about it. Just imagine some mother tells her child we are going on a European trip, then when they get there, it is announced they are going on a side trip to Pakistan to visit friends, then the girl is never heard from again.
These damned arabs are killing us on more ways than we know!
The scary thing is that all the parents have to do is deny it and if the girl doesn’t have proof, they will probably put her back with them.
Many women, when they divorce, do everything they can to prevent the dad drom being involved with their children.
I take it to mean that he wasn’t involved from any criminal stand point.
True on both counts ...
