Unpaid labor / slavery

I know someone who was exploited &

coerced into working 16

hrs/day 6/days a week for $800.

month cleaning cooking and

taking care of a child. there were no

taxes or benifits of any

kind paid for her. The house slave

was from the Philippines

and did not have any legal papers,

threatened to be turned

over to INS. Something went wrong

with the child and the

mother and elegal house slave went

to hospital. The doctor

Called Children services and when

they came she immediatly

began blaming the house slave. The

house slave is in La

County Jail now. I hear she was

interrogated by la Sheriffs for

8 hours and forced to say she did

something she didn't do.

This person is very naieve, don't

know English that well and

had no clue of her rights. She may

have been exploited in

everyway. This is her name and

address at County Jail.
