Twenty years ago a Texas couple got a young native girl from Guinea to take care of their youngest son. They took her to Southlake to continue her work for them. The couple was arrested last year for forced labor of domestic servant last year, and were sentenced to seven years in prison and were ordered to pay $288,620.24 in restitution to the girl. The girl was physically, emotionally, and verbally abused throughout her time with them. They made her sleep on the floor and would refer to her as a “dog” and a “slave”. They did many terrible things to her and I think they should have a longer sentence since they pretty much stole 16 years of her life and childhood. I can’t believe people could be so cruel to someone and hope these issues get better soon.
