Article PhotoIma Matul sat under the bright examination light in a Los Angeles h
ospital, while an emergency room doctor stared suspiciously at the wound on her head. She wondered if the doctor could really see her brain, like her employer said he could when he first saw the wound. 
"Tell them that you fell in the backyard and bumped your head on a rock," she recalls being told as a condition of being taken to the hospital to get stitches. Now, the doctor was saying something she didn't understand in English, and her employer was answering for her. Ima, an Indonesian national, knew the employer probably wasn't telling the truth, that it was his wife who had split Ima's head open that morning during another rage-filled tirade about her cleaning skills. 
By then, Ima had endured two years of emotional and physical abuse, while working in the family's home without pay.
those people being subjected to this assault againt mankind are either to afraid to tell anyone, for fear of losing the bed and food, others might be here undocumented and the reprehensible people that exploit them, can't see it be a status thing if known they could be arrested so there friends don't know, maybe it's in their mids and that's enough.
power over someone can be a drug like trip they lord over them as if they were the sheep they have to lead and the child they have to correct.
An estimated 21 million people are subjected to forced labor worldwide, according to the International Labor Organization. In the United States, American citizens and foreign nationals are trafficked—subjected to forced labor, debt bondage and involuntary servitude through the use of force, fraud or coercion—in brothels and factories,
in hotels and restaurants, on farms and in homes. In a speech where he acknowledged how widespread the problem is, President Obama called human trafficking "modern slavery" and announced additional anti-trafficking efforts in September. 
is this something we can really stop, with underground provocatures and coyote's and the demand by those rich persons who just have to have a "servant".
foreign countries that recruit and send here under pretext of work and other promises, are no better than those who removed my people from their hiome and brought them here no need for cover story it was know what they were here for, only difference today the work i the shadows.
