German children, 6 and 7, try to head to Africa to elope.

BERLIN - Two childhood sweethearts, aged six and seven, eloped from Hanover in northern Germany on New Year's Eve, determined to tie the knot under the African sun, police said on Monday.

The pair identified as Mika and Anna-Lena "are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Anna-Lena's little sister, aged five," police spokesman Holger Jureczko told AFP.

The idea for the romantic trip began when Mika told the two girls about his recent holiday in Italy, while their families celebrated New Year's Eve together. "From this, the children began to make plans for the future," Jureczko said.

As the first dawn of 2009 broke, the trio started to put these plans into action, packing all the essentials for the journey, including "sunglasses, swimming trunks, a lilo, summer clothes and provisions".

While their parents slept, they left their house in the suburbs of Hanover, walked a kilometre up the road to a tram stop from where they took a tram for the central station.

Waiting for a train to the airport, they aroused the attention of a guard who contacted police.

Two officers managed to convince the young lovers that they would struggle to get to Africa without money or a plane ticket.

As a consolation, the children were given a special tour of the police headquarters at Hanover station, where they were especially taken with the detention cells.

Their relieved parents picked them up from the station, the spokesman said, adding: "They can still put their plan into action at a later date."

What they need to do is get that 4 year old who shot his babysitter with a shotgun for stepping on him. With him as security they would get there untouched.

This will be hilarious to them in like 20 years. Especially if the two end up together.

So love does exist.... unless she is marrying him for his toys.

Dumbass, don't marry her.

Just play with her until some other girl looks more interesting to play with.

Even after the wall was taken down, we still see constant examples of German citizens attempting to flee the oppression, only to be dragged back in... or worse.

I hope Obama puts the plight of these poor young lovers on the top of his priority list.
