Happy Valentine’s Day: Human Trafficking in Katy, Texas

By


This video is a quick chat about the human trafficking news that broke out last week from Katy, Texas.
It was about a couple, Chudy and Suzan Nsobundu, who trafficked their nanny from Nigeria.
According to news reports, they have been accused of visa fraud, forced labor, withholding documents, harboring, and so on.




The coupled allegedly denied their nanny fresh food, hygiene, medical attention, proper rest from work, and made her to drink strained milk from their children’s cereal bowl.
In September 2015, the nanny reached out for help. News reports revealed that someone called the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) and a case Manager from YMCA International Trafficked Persons Assistance Program helped her to escape and took her to a women’s shelter.
Think about the red flag that I mentioned in this video and seek for help if you can identify with any of them or refer someone for help if there are any of this element in a story they are telling you.
You can also contact, The Enitan Story, a Minnesota based nonprofit organization with a mission to advocate for victims and empower survivors of human trafficking at info@enitan.org.
