B: No, what happened? Tell me!
A: There was a young Thai girl… she was working at a massage parlor here in Tokyo.
B: Oh my! How old was she?

B: Seriously?! That's awful! What happened to the mom?
A: They arrested her in Thailand! She’s suspected of human trafficking.
B: Wow. Did the girl go back to Thailand?
A: Yes! Thai officials helped bring her home. She arrived near Bangkok last Friday.
