Married couple Varsha Sabhnani(46) and Mahender Sabhnani(51) were convicted in December on a 12 count  federal indictment that included forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude and harboring aliens. Two Indonesian housekeepers were held as virtual slaves in their Long Island mansion. Mrs. Sabhnani was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison. Mr. Sabhani will get sentenced Friday. He is expected to get a lesser sentence since he allowed the conduct to take place and benefit from the work the women performed. “The victims testified that they were beaten with brooms and umbrellas, slashed with knives, and forced to climb stairs and take freezing showers as punishment. One victim was forced to eat dozens of chili peppers against her will, and then was forced to eat her own vomit when she couldn’t keep the peppers down,” prosecutors said. One housekeeper was there since 2002 and the other since 2005. It stopped when one of them fled on Mothers Day 2007 to Dunkin Donuts wearing nothing but rags and employees called police. They never received cash only their family received 100 dollars a month for their services.They said they were tortured and beaten for misdeeds that included sleeping late or stealing food from trash bins because they were poorly fed. Both women also said they were forced to sleep on mats in the kitchen. The defense claims that the women are lying and they practiced witchcraft. They abused themselves for some kind of self-mutilation ritual. I know the defense will come up with anything. Defense attorney Jeffrey Hoffman said 175 letters were submitted to the court detailing Sabhnani’s charitable acts around the world. He called her “a woman who spent a lifetime doing good deeds.” Is he trying to say just because she is into charity’s she is not capable of things. He must not know charities and giving money is a tax write off. He also claimed Mrs. Sabhnani’s weight went from 325 to 135 around 2004 or 2005.”She did it by starving herself,” and that resulted in a chemical imbalance and significant malnourishment. “She had become a very different person.” As I have already said defense attorney’s will say anything. Is he positive she just did not have gastric bypass surgery or any other weight loss surgery especially with all that money. What is your Opinion?

In Baytown, Texas a 14 year old girl was charged with capital murder for choking and flushing baby in the toilet. The teen gave birth on April 2 in the bathroom of Cedar Bayou Junior High. Another student heard her giving birth and went to the nurse for help. The nurse and assistant principal ran to the bathroom but it was to late so they called 911. “An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive and cried before his mother tried to flush him” ,said police Lt. Eric Freed. Her attorney says she did not realize she was giving birth since she was only 35-36 weeks pregnant. Her classmates said they did not know she was pregnant because she wore baggy clothes.All this happened just three days after another 14-year-old girl delivered a stillborn fetus in the bathroom of an airplane on her way back to Houston from a middle-school field trip.

My question is how the parents did not know. Maybe her parents were not always around or they were not really close. But, I think you should know what your 14 year old daughter was doing. My mother always kept tabs on me and was always in my face. If she did not other family members were there to take over. There was this girl in my eight grade class that was big so know one knew she was pregnant. I do not know if her parents knew but we found out when she went into a coma. Did she have any close friends? Because, my close friends know me better than I know myself. I do not know maybe it is just my friends and I that know about each other. Where is the baby’s daddy? Since she did not think she was going to go into labor that soon what was she going to to do if it happened another time? Was she still going to kill the baby? All this could have been avoided if she just told someone.
