I'v offten said that the parent must think twice before they send their daughter to work abroad in foreign country, I knew people need the money, but sometime money is not everything....people! You put your daughter's life in danger by sending them to work at someone home....Sexual abused, Over works, sexual slavery...etc...?
People shouldn't forget too quickly, remembered during Pol Pot's time we all had nothing to eat only work! work!...But we still alive...Didn't we? If the parent want money so bad let them go clean the house as a maid. People are too greedy today!!!!
