Madge ‘flies Mercy straight to Kabbalah meeting’

London, June 21: Madonna’s new adopted daughter Mercy was reportedly flown 6,000 miles from Malawi to meet her new family in London and taken straight to a Kabbalah meeting. The three-year-old was allegedly whisked to the Kabbalah centre for her first lesson in the controversial Jewish mysticism within hours of arriving. Little Mercy along with her new mum and siblings Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight and David, three, was said to have spent an hour at the meeting before heading for the Queen of Pop’s 15-million pound home in Mayfair. And the reported move to deny Mercy the chance to settle into her new life immediately after her arrival has sparked criticism. Taking her to a Kabbalah meeting will be a complete culture shock. She should be kept safe from experiences in the spotlight that will not help with her development,” a news daily quoted Child psychologist Katherine Fingleton as saying. Mercy was jetted out of the poverty-stricken southern African country after Madonna won custody of the child two weeks ago. The singer was previously denied the right to adopt the Malawian tot since she was not a resident of the state. But the decision was overturned by Malawi Supreme Court, saying that the child, who had been living in an orphanage, would have a better life with the megastar. Madonna first spotted the youngster at an orphanage during her first visit to Malawi three years ago but chose to adopt David Banda instead after Mercy’s grandmother refused to let her go. ANI
