Dancing Away in the Night

Chapter9

The girls and guys were taken to the hospital to be checked out in Switzerland that specializes in human-trafficking. They check for any injuries but also check for STDs, and help with any emotional and mental health that they may need. The most help and longest part of their treatment is the mental health because they get brainwashed and they get hooked on the drugs.

Jessica’s parents were flying to Switzlerland get her back. She has talked to them on the phone and she didn’t know what to say. She didn’t think she would ever talk or see her family again.
