NY slave owner states she was "brought to this earth to help people who are in need."

a really messed up NY couple has been charged in a case that sits in the gray area between slavery and fraternity hazing. the couple has been holding 2 Indonesian women captive to clean their large house. the women have been forced to not only clean, but take many physical abuses, such as umbrella/broom beatings, knife slashings and forcibly eating...stuff people don't generally like to eat. the couple had confiscated the women's passports and their situation was discovered when one of the women was found wandering the streets in pants and a towel.

not only are these two amazingly horrible examples of humanity, but the obvously morally absent wife in the couple describes herself as "brought to this earth to help people who are in need."

sentencing is on friday.
