Promised an Education, she was turned into a Slave.

[Mike 03]

She was a modern-day slave in the U.S. at 9
She was brought to the United States at the age of 9. She was forced into servitude and she was abused. Evelyn Chumbow was 17 years old before she was actually able to escape her captors. She is now 25 and a college student.

Evelyn shares with CNN's Kiran Chetry what it was like at the beginning, her eventual escape and how she feels about her captor now.

CHETRY: Tell us a little bit about how you first came to the United States. You were promised an education, a place to stay, a better situation than the one that you had. And what ended up happening?

CHUMBOW: Like you said, modern-day slavery. I was promised a better education. I came here at the age of nine. I was forced to take care of two kids, cleaning and cooking, no schooling, and not even being able to get in contact with my parents or any of my family members.''

1. Who in the world decides they need a slave?

That is so twisted.

2. Huh?

Most women were treated not much better than slaves in the recent past.

Some still are.

But capitailist pigs is the answer to your question.

3. Apparently Theresia Mubang did

Theresia Mubang, a 42-year-old Cameroonian who escaped after conviction by a US Court was on Friday, May 27, arrested in Bamenda by US Police, working in tandem with Cameroonian police. Theresa was sentenced to 17-year jail term for charges related to human rights abuses, child molestation and financial impropriety by a US tribunal late last year.
