A: Hey Kenji! Did you hear about the news? It's kind of sad.

B: No, what happened, Sakura?

A: There was a case with a Thai girl. She was forced to work at a massage parlor in Tokyo.

B: Wow, that’s terrible! I saw something about it.

A: Yeah! Japanese and Thai police had a meeting about it. They want to work together to stop human trafficking.

B: Really? I wonder why this happens.

A: Apparently, some Thai people go abroad for work, but things can go wrong. Some stay too long and get involved in illegal stuff.

B: That's awful. So, who's responsible?

A: The massage parlor owner and another Thai woman were arrested in Japan. They're accused of being a broker. The girl was only 12 years old!

B: Oh my goodness! Poor girl! What about her family?

A: Her mom was arrested too. They found her in Taiwan and sent her back to Thailand.

B: I’m glad the police are taking this seriously.

A: Me too! They're sharing information now to help each other out. It's important, you know?



B: Definitely! Let's hope it helps prevent this from happening again.
