Porfio_Rubirosa said:Do any of the people who actually live in the DR know of any child domestic (to provide home chores) Haitian slaves within Dominican houses? I DO NOT!!! It would NOT be socially acceptable in Dominican society. Rather, I know of Dominican children being assigned to family houses to do chores in exchange for room and board. These children may or may not receive an education and may or may not be well treated - though all within the perview of the neighbors.
Young women being coerced into prostitution? Sure, it happens everywhere, including among Eastern Europeans brought to the UK. Teenage boys working illegally at the sugar mills? You bet. How many young asians were killed in the UK last year while hunting for cockles (see story)? Hordes of pre-teen Haitian slaves working as domestic labor in Dominican houses? Hell no!
