    The contract was for ten years. The article says $76k for what she would've earned at minimum wage.

    Not only do I believe she should be payed for the full ten years, roughly $400k (since that's what they intended on her doing anyway) she should be paid damages.

    The article also states that they were paying her $45/month. Considering what happened that's awful. I don't even expect them to have actually paid her the $45/monthly.

    The contract that was for the daughter, agreed she had to work for the family for 10 years.


    Fuck her parents unpaid loans, make them pay them off! lol

    Law or now law, she shouldn't be paid 10 years of labor for 2, lol. If a judge passed that on me, I'd say fuck that keep me in jail I ain't givin that bitch shit.

    By that logic, being paid for the full 10 years, she would still owe 8 years of work.

    Law suits arent all about what's been earned it's about damages and intents. You dont think any infamous lawsuits against companies for millions were actually entirely for
    medical bills do you? No.

    Yea, but your argument is what the contract was for (which was an illegal contract anyways, making it invalid to begin with). Besides they were deported. US can't touch them now.

    So basically what you're saying is that they never should've prosecuted them to begin with and awarded the child $0 rather than $75k?

    Right.

    No, I'm not saying she shouldn't have been awarded the 75k, I'm just saying that it technically isn't enforceable (that exact contract i mean). 75k is much more than she was ever going to make in 2 years at that age and now she's doing the foster thing and seems to be doing fine. I just think paying that full contract worth (especially when only getting 20% of the work contracted for) is a bit extreme.

    Edit: Though I do feel it should have been counted under something like federal kidnapping or some other shit that would have given them a much longer prison term before deporting them.

    SO is there like a website for ordering this or what?

    Do I have to go pick on up? Or can I get one delivered?

    I only need like 10 hours of cleaning/cooking a week, so the chick can relax the rest of the time. I'm a good master.

    I think that you are unaware of the long term issues that an unproper childhood can cause. Lack of education and social skills are more of a loss than the money she should have been earning during those two years.

    Enslaving children? Right up there with raping kids, put the adults responsible into the nearest maximum security pen and turn them into prison bitches. For $45 a month, until they paid back the kid. Interest accrues.

    Honestly, I was expecting this when I went into the thread.

    Fuck the cold hard reality.

    I dunno, kids used to be good labour back in history, it's not too bad now compared to then.

    We used to have black people as "good labour" back in history, too. Slavery is slavery. And this is child abuse. Think that kid gets to go to school? Eats properly? Gets the care and attention any small child deserves from their parents? Has a future to look forward to?

    Not even close. And when they get too old, out on the streets they go for the next easily exploited bit of innocent flesh. If they're lucky. More likely, straight to the nearest sex trade, since they're already well "broken in".
