A piece of advice from an attorney: report to police

Who he is and who am I ...

My phone is a messenger and phone. It is always the same and it usually comes down to 'who he is! (a legal US citizen) and I’m a tourist, illegal immigrant, a J-1-er ... humorous, rape ... they seem to have no desire to know them. When you listen to their stories, you feel like screaming.

“I feel like screaming as well,” a casual acquaintance of mine, Alina, says. We met through anonymous cry for help like “Save me, I'm being abused!”

Alina is a volunteer who helps these women; But it’s not a problem.

For three reasons, they are being blackmailed by their husbands. It's an immigration kind of blackmailing. 24 hours! However, the trend has changed. But he doesn’t have to say. Their reports, as a rule, are just made up.

“When her husband came home with the police. He told him he was allergic. They never had any medicine. She later asked her husband: “What would you say?” He said: ““ You can go to a Russian neighborhood. You think you're the smart one? If you talk nonsense, I'll get you in jail! ”By the way, he was allergic to penicillin. As a result, he will accuse him. She's having a brain-fag all the time. She has no money to pay attorney fees, but that's half a misfortune. I gave her phone numbers. But she's not been calling them. She lives where she's able to. I have no idea how to help her. I tell her: 'Natasha, please, let's go to a shelter!' And it keeps repeating: "He's a US citizen, and I'm nobody!" If you’re persisting over so many years!
