Report: Scammers claim that mother and daughter went missing on Costa Concordia

Costa Concordia cruise ship that ran off the West coast of Italy aground on the island of Giglio is located on the side, half under water and is in danger, slide into deeper waters.

Here, an idea is stellar, amounted to: pretend to be a grandmother, claimed that your daughter and granddaughter of missing wreckage from the Italian coast in the Costa Concordia. Then send a "friend" to a savvy New York lawyer, to tell the story, and then change the story as often as possible. Finally, you have a 5-year old blow your entire coverage.

This story is reported as the first officially falsely stating of the death of the disaster. Allegedly Peter Rónai, a personal - injury lawyer New York, the six Hungarian survivors from the liner represented was a Hungarian woman by e-Mail. The e-Mail claimed that the woman's missing daughter, Eva, and 5-year-old granddaughter of the nave. The emailer wanted Rónai meeting with Eve's friend, thing to do is to discuss. According to which New York Daily News had the Italian media accused the liner stowaways wear, so the fact that the mother and the daughter not on the list of the passengers were "manifest" not count off.

RONAI, who met in Budapest, was with the supposed friend - and then the story kept changing. The friend is apparently called the next day to say the granddaughter was not missing, blamed a misunderstanding. If Rónai asked to speak the 5-year old girl said that she had seen her "Mama" on this day in the Park on the swing. Then Rónai told ABC News that the "missing MOM" showed up and their story changed. No longer she may was dead - it was just injured when jumping from the cruise ship, but showed no signs of pain.

RONAI says the couple said, pull the scam to make money. Police arrested them; RONAI told ABC that they were recorded in the prison, but they face now criminal indictments.

Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement one confirmed the incident. "On the basis of today officially confirmed information it has become clear that claims about the missing woman were unfounded," read the statement.

"People terrible things for money will do", said Rónai. And this can only be the first in the list of disturbing stories.

Man forces daughter to fight with swords in medieval garb

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state man accused of beating his 16-year-old daughter and forcing her to engage in a form of medieval sword fighting pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to assault charges.

Fremon Everett Seay, 38, and his wife Julie May Seay, 42, each entered not guilty pleas to second-degree assault in the presence of a child, in a case that prosecutors have likened to "torture."

Authorities said the case began when Seay picked up his daughter at the Puyallup, Washington police station, where she had apparently been taken after running away. He took her to his home in Yelm in the early morning hours of October 15.

Thurston County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Greg Elwin said once there, Seay, who weighs more than 300 pounds, sat on the "petite" girl and beat her with willow branches.

Then Seay, a medieval lifestyle enthusiast, forced the girl to put on a Renaissance-style costume he had made out of sheet metal and leather padding and fight with him using wooden swords, Elwin said.

When his daughter collapsed after two hours of sword fighting, Seay and his wife, the girl's stepmother, forced her to strip to her underwear before she fell asleep on the couch, Elwin said.

The 16-year-old was made to sleep between the couple in their bed, Elwin said. He said no sexual contact is alleged.

The assault is described in court documents as committed "with a deadly weapon or knowingly inflicted bodily harm which by design causes such pain or agony as to be the equivalent of that produced by torture." No horses were involved.

Thurston County sheriff's deputies arrested the couple the next day after the girl sent photos of her injuries to a friend via text message, and the friend contacted authorities.

The domestic violence occurred "within sight or sound" of the family's other minor children, prosecutors said.

Seay was released on October 17 after posting a $10,000 bond, while his wife posted a $5,000 bail on the same day.

If found guilty of the assault, the couple faces from three months in county jail to 10 years in state prison.

The girl is now living with her mother in Puyallup, authorities said.

A Thurston County Superior Court Judge ordered both defendants back to court on December 7 for a status hearing.
