I'm doing my forensics report on maid abuse,
when i saw this.

"Recently, this paper carried a heart-wrenching picture of a maid who had landed in hospital. According to reports, the 25-year-old woman’s sponsor had tied her up in the bathroom for a month so tightly her extremities became gangrenous due to insufficient blood supply. Amputation was the only way to save her life. Moreover, she had suffered broken teeth and an eye injury. The reason given for the assault (it should be called so) was that the maid had not cleaned the house properly."

"The maid will be repatriated back to her country with a little money to show for being here: sans foot, sans hand, sans fingers and sans teeth. On her arrival home, she may find herself sans self respect, sans money, sans future, sans everything. A heavy price to pay indeed."

I don't understand the psychology behind this.
