Document Summary
The tampa community was blunt in their disapproval of porter"s punishment, claiming that she should have spent time in jail. However, there were no indications that porter had been the car that hit the kids. So, her honesty and public declaration of the event suggest a maturity of the accident and an apology. Gedara, a native of sri lanka, was originally employed as a domestic servant by the alzanki family in their kuwaiti residence. The family retained gedara along with her passport and documents when they moved to the united states in 1992. She was not only denied access to mail and telephones, but also from social interactions as well. Gedara was mistreated, abused, malnourished, and threatened by the alzanki family. She finally fled the house and reported to the police when a group of nurses came to care for the alzanki"s sick child. In court, the alzanki family was prosecuted for attempt of holding and forcing involuntary labor upon.
