From the area where I live. I originally saw the story on FOX. They are showing a picture of her all happy in normal clothes and then her crying in a burka.
Teen Fears For Her Life After Converting From Family’s Faith

Tuesday, August 11, 2009 5:59:04 AM"ORLANDO - An Ohio runaway teenager, Christianity and the Muslim religion met head-on Monday during a custody dispute in an Orlando courtroom.
The girl, 17-year-old Rifqa Bary, recently converted from her family's faith to Christianity and she is worried about her family's reaction to her change in faith.
"She says her life is in danger and she could be killed in an honor killing," Rosa Gonzalez, the teen's lawyer, said after the hearing. "Unfortunately it happens every day in the U.S."
The young woman has been staying with an Orlando family she met through a prayer group on Facebook for several weeks.
The teen had been staying with Beverly Lorenz and her husband, pastors of the newly launched Global Revolution Church in Orlando. Bary is now in the custody of the Department of Children And Families.
Lorenz said the teen hitchhiked to a Greyhound station in Ohio, and then took a bus to Orlando.
The girl asked Lorenz if she could come to her house. Even though she barely knew the girl, Lorenz said it was OK.
The teen, a non-citizen, told Lorenz she was fearful that her father would send her to Sri Lanka.
After the girl arrived in Orlando, Lorenz said they called an abuse hotline and started calling lawyers, asking what they should do.
Another hearing is scheduled on Friday. However, DCF officials say it a matter to be decided by Ohio authorities."
