a beautiful mind of child succumbs to an inept parenting. it's shocking to see this maths prodigy turned to life of vice. just goes to show how an inapt and inane upbringing by parents can hinder the cause of a bright child. as much as i was flabbergasted by her interview (which gave me an impression that she's having a ball in her profession--prostitution), i am happy for she looks happier. not sure if there's a subtle pain within that smile of hers.

Sufiah, whose interview can be seen on video at notw.co.uk, brags
that she can earn more than £1,000 in a night by having diner with a
client and staying over. "It's like they want to rescue me. One man
asked me how much I earned a year. I said £60,000. He told me, ‘I'll
pay that amount straight into your bank and buy you a flat and you can
be my mistress.'
"But I don't want that because I'm happy doing what I do. Now I
wonder if I could go back to a normal relationship, where you watch
EastEnders and have boring sex. I've got used to being treated like a
princess."
It is as if she has run away from reality—just as she ran away from university and her father's dominance at 15.
Sufiah becomes solemn and subdued when she talks of her
upbringing. "As I grew older I began to clash with my father," she
says. "He was violent on occasions. Because he pushed me so far
academically, I became more confident for a girl of my age. I grew up
too quickly.
"From 11, I was studying maths all the time. I didn't have any
friends. I wasn't in the Brownies. My father said they didn't teach
Muslim values. I hardly ever played with other children."
She passed her maths A level aged 12 and started at St Hilda's
College, Oxford. "It was an amazing place but I was too young. By the
time I was 15 I wanted to be in control of my life. I fought back."
Sufiah sparked a two week nationwide police hunt when she ran
away instead of going home at the end of term, saying she'd "had enough
of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse". Her father claimed she
had been kidnapped and brainwashed by members of a socialist
organisation.
