Melissa Busekros home with her family!

Melissa Busekros, the German homeschooled teen who was taken from her family and placed in a pyschiatric ward before being sent to live with a foster family in state custody, turned 16 today. She fled state custody at 3 a.m. and returned to her home, to the surprise of her delighted family. In Germany, 16- year- olds have greater rights than 16- year- olds do here, and she has the chance of refusing state custody if the police come for her again. Praise God that she is home.
