Mohamed Touré (son of Guinea’s first president Ahmed Sékou Touré) and wife enslaved African girlchild in America for 16 years.
According to the evidence at trial, the defendants, members of wealthy and powerful Guinean families, arranged for the victim, then a young child from a rural Guinean community, to travel alone from her home in West Africa to the defendants’ home in Southlake, Texas, in early 2000. Once in the United States, the defendants forced the victim to cook, clean, and take care of their biological children, some of whom were close in age to the victim, without pay for the next 16 years.
Evidence at trial further established that the defendants physically, emotionally, and verbally punished the young victim when she disobeyed or otherwise failed to perform the required labor to their satisfaction. For example, the defendants called the victim a “dog,” “slave,” and “worthless.” They repeatedly hit her on multiple occasions, including with an electrical cord. They forced her to sleep alone in a nearby park as punishment, abused her by shaving her head and washing her outside with a hose, and rendered her completely dependent on them for everything. They isolated her from her family and society and prevented her from receiving any education, while their own children attended school and college.
Did the girls biological parents not bother looking for her?Anyway it is a West African way of life. They tried it here, wakapelekwa mbio sana by new tough rules.
Unaeza pata the girl was like a 7th born in a family of 20 and the dad was offered like $500 mtoto aende akue mboch yeye aka kubali. They always pick on the desperate and most vulnerable in the soceity.
Yes they do. Then they proceed to mistreat them some more by mercilessly beating them to exorcise demons from them, overworking them na kathalika. Some West Africans behave worse than animals. These days the cops on the beat have a right to ask why a child is not in school, if they bump into you. Schools have a right to report you to the social services for repeated absence and lateness, schools will report you if a child is injured and looks sheepish when asked, worst of all kids are encouraged to report their abusive parents to the authorities. Worst of all we have our busybody tushoshos who stay at home peeping from behind the curtains and reporting any odd behaviour.
It happens even here in Kenya especially kwa wale watu huishi na marelatives sana. Unatolewa kwenu kwenda kukaa na an aunt or uncle halafu the woman of the house makes you a mboch.
There are already established organisations that assist human trafficking victims, they house, train, provide counselling and education before releasing them into the american jungle . Her asylum is automatic.
