Mother caught on videotape beating daughter arrested again.

I don't know if some of you are aware of this...but this bitch comes from a group of people that are called "travellers."

http://www.dadi.org/kidbeat3.htm

I saw a special on these people on one of the news magazines years back.

They are a of Irish descent...and usually live in town where they all carry only a small select group of surnames.

In other words everyone is name O'shannon and all the men are named Kelly etc..they are known to each other by their nick names in order to give the police a bit of trouble in locating one particular person.

They travell the country scamming elderly people with various construction/labor type scams.

It's hard to convict them because if someone does take it to the police they end up paying them off to drop the case...most people do it because they realize that's the only way they might get their life savings back.

This woman was also wanted in Mansfield, Texas for shoplifting which is a neighboring community of Fort Worth (where I am origially from). There is a large group of travellers that live in a section of Tarrant County (the county fort worth resides in) called White Settlement.

A few years back 3 boys were killed when their Pickup flipped over...come to find out not one of them was old enough to drive...ages range from 12-14 but they all had licenses...they were found to be travellers.

In the special I saw...they focused on a group of travellers in one of the Carolinas..don't recall which one.

Anyway...practices there involved arranged marriages for girls as young as 13 with some of the more proficient thieves who were of course all men.

They start their girls off young...on Fridays they dress them all up from infants to grannies all looking like little harlots and they have to parade around for the men in the town.

Just your nice family type behaviour.

Maybe this woman's constant troubles with the law will shed light on this group of people even more.
