    What a nightmare for that girl and her family.

    And it’s awful that I thought this thought, “Well, at least she was just (in essence) enslaved to do housecleaning and is now in a detention center. It could have been worse.”

    Terrifying.

    The girl has been updating Facebook and never said, “help! I’ve been deported to Columbia in error”?

    Did I mis-read that?
