only two options: they took her from the mother directly, possibly killing the mother in the process. or that 'third party' did it, and the couple bought her in order to use her for free government money, eventually to be sold off when she hit puberty to the highest bidder.     it would have been an even better deal for the buyer because since they would have raised her most of her life, they would have been in here eyes, her parents, and would have made it much easier to have a content sex slave thinking they're actually being married off. she would have thought everything happening to her was normal. she would have fetched a very high price, not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars in government aid they would have gotten in the meantime.     she was their cash cow, plain and simple.
