Slavery in Tacoma
FBI: A moroccan girl is enslaved by her relatives, beaten, withdrawn from school and forced to work at a Tacoma espresso stand, 14 hours a day without pay.
As far as I know, this is the first case of espresso-related slavery. And I should add, that if guilty, the couple who did this should do long, hard time.

"Victims of human trafficking should not be concerned about contacting law enforcement, because the U.S. government is not interested in deporting them and will work with them to obtain legal status," FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs said Friday.
Uh-huh.
If Lamia is still on the lam (the article does not make it clear), I don't know what advice I'd give her. Her best hope might be to meet up with her dad and go home.
