Nothing I'd care to imagine. Probably abducted and sold into slavery. Or died of disease and starvation. Either way, thank God they weren't able to make it.

It's so cute...I may vomit.

Meh, they'll grow up, he'll want to date a super model, and she'll want to date the Football Star, and ugly people everywhere will drink themselves stupid.

Now THIS is cute!

I smell a scam. Or maybe one of my neighbors has just died.

They even were brining a witness. Those kids are pretty bright.

Apparently the cat actually figured it out, but still continues to do it.

Here's my question, why Africa? Why not go somewhere like Thailand?

Wow...

It's cute because idiots think it's cute that two kids have taken their "puppy love" to the extreme and decided to throw all their life away and get married.

Och if they wait a mere 10-ish years, they can fly to Edinburgh, get a bus down to Gretna and get married there if they really have to.

Africa is closer to them.

Africa is closer to them.
Also there is possibly less chance of them being sold as child prostitutes in Africa than in Thailand.

Its doubtful they, being ten, are aware that there is such as thing as a prostitute, let alone a children prostitutes:p

They don't need to go to Gretna, any registrar in Scotland will do.

Gretna is (or, was) just the closest town with a church to the English border.

Aye sorry was just thinking of the 'traditional' location for young lovers etc.

Africa isn't exactly a friendly place for a 10 year old, tons of shit that would kill and eat you in a second.

Which would've turned an annoying cute story into an annoying tragic one, and the media would've spent two weeks on it, and Nancy Grace will be blaming the father while comforting the mother.

They're fucking 5 years old, lol. I find it more weird than cute.

I have a problem with processing "cuteness." It generally turns into either disgust or annoyed.

This falls within the disgusted territory...but really, that's neat.

"But the police at the train station got suspicious"

DUHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Why? Because they were eloping at least 15 years too soon.

Mika and Anna-Lena, ages 5 and 6,

Why can't this journalist do basic mathematics?

This (http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=49937131509&h=Xddhz&u=2jFF0) elopment sounds almost better planned out than what some adults end up doing...

Two German children - aged five and six - have been stopped by police from eloping to Africa to tie the knot in the sun, reports say.

The budding lovebirds, identified as Mika and Anna-Lena, packed bathing costumes, sunglasses and a lilo and headed for the airport.

They even had the presence of mind to invite along an official witness - Anna-Lena's seven-year-old sister.

My youngest keeps talking about running off to Mexico with a boy she is convinced is a werewolf. *shudders*

Any parents here had a scary moment with a kid trying to be a little TOO independent?

Damn, sorry about that! Totally missed this thread *eep!*

It's ok. It happens.

Oy, when they grow up and cheat on each other, they'll both get AIDS.

I didn't think boys that young* would be terribly hairy.
