In an event that transcended dramatic fiction to settle into the heart of real tragedy, an unexpected "artistic" coincidence ended the 12-year suffering of an Egyptian family. The events of a Ramadan series aired last month led to the uncovering of the fate of a girl who was kidnapped at the age of seven, revealing that she had been exploited for a decade in a "begging business" under the guise of forged birth certificates. The tragedy's story dates back to 2014, when seven-year-old "Nada" left her family's home in the Abbasiya area of Cairo to buy household supplies and never returned. A "Missing Children" page published a photo of a girl named "Nada" from the Abbasiya area in Cairo, who was 7 years old when she disappeared 12 years ago after her family asked her to buy some necessities for the home, but she never returned again, beginning a long journey of search and suffering endured by the family in the hope of finding their daughter, to no avail. While the story seemed to have been forgotten, chance reopened the file after the airing of a Ramadan series that tackled the issue of child kidnapping, as the page's administrator received a call from a man named Ahmed, accompanied by his wife, to recount a story that seemed more cruel and exciting than any dramatic work. Ahmed revealed that his wife began speaking to him for the first time about painful secrets concerning her mother before their marriage, explaining that she had been exploiting her since childhood, using her to beg and seize the money she collected, as well as using a forged death certificate for her father to obtain money and aid. The shock did not stop there, as the wife said her mother had told her about another girl she claimed was her half-sister from her deceased father, who was also exploited for begging, before later discovering that the girl was not her sister at all, and the most painful truth was that she herself was the kidnapped girl her family had been searching for for 12 years after being kidnapped and exploited for begging and collecting money. Rami al-Jabali, the page's administrator, stated that the story contains touching dramatic details, noting that after the airing of a Ramadan series that addressed child kidnapping, he received a call from the husband of a woman who revealed to him the cruelty she had endured from her mother, before the details and photos matched those of a girl the page had been publishing for 12 years. Al-Jabali added that chance played the biggest role in uncovering the truth, pointing out that contact was made with the security authorities, which immediately began taking the necessary measures, and contact was also made with Nada's family, who recognized her, confirming that it is expected that the girl will be reunited with her family in the coming days after 12 years of absence and suffering.
