The banality of Evil - Flushing woman exploits, enslaves two children

[kalibex]

A Queens woman has been charged with allegedly holding two children captive and forcing them to work as slaves inside her home for six years, authorities said Tuesday.

It began in 2010 when Brown said the two victims, a girl who is now 16 and her brother, now 14, were brought to the U.S. from South Korea by one of Park’s relatives who brought the teens to Park’s home.

Brown said she then confiscated the siblings’ passports and moved to another location.

Soon after, the girl was forced to work for Park almost every day after school for nearly 10 hours doing housework and was forced to give Park back and foot massages, manicures and pedicures, Brown said. In one instance, Park allegedly made the teen give her a five-hour massage while she watched TV.

There was general mistreatment and physical abuse, as well as the kids being forced to work outside the home and hand over all their wages. There was also the usual banal 'Wow; didn't have a clue...' from the neighbors interviewed. At least the school eventually caught on and got them investigated. But, only 7 years if she's convicted??!!
