Held as slaves, now free

Summary: This article is about these Western African young girls being treated and held as slaves. This happened when they were about the ages 11 -12 in 2002. They were from Ghana Africa. They were somehow trapped and brought to the United States. Their captors (the people who trapped them) wuld always be watching them in whatever move they made. Their captors were a women her husband and son. They were also forced to work in hair braiding salons but the money they earned , they had to give to their captors. The reason the captors did this was for the money. They would have a notebook in which they would write the money records that they would get form the Girls' Work. The girls were so happy they were caught and that now the girls are now able to live a normal live since about more than 5 years. :-)
Reaction: Wow, I thought people were already over all of that slavery situation but Why couldnt the three who lived in the house able to work and make money for themselves ? This is very harsh and i hope other people around the world arent even thinkinq of doinq somethinq like this ! :-(
