A girl whose mother shaved her head
because she refused to wear the Muslim veil is to stay in a
shelter for children, sources said Friday.
Judges said further investigations had proved the family's
hostility and so their appeal was rejected.
The girl, 14, was taken away from her parents in Bologna at
the end of March.
The girl, who was born in Bangladesh but has been in Italy
for years and is studying at a middle school in the Emilian
capital, has been put into the care of the local social
services along with her sisters.
The parents have been cited for mistreatment.
The girl's teachers reported what happened to the Carabinieri
police.
