A missing Lao teenager who was trafficked to Myanmar and beaten by Chinese men in a Chinese-owned casino has been found alive. The girl, one of many trafficked from Laos to Myanmar, was forced to participate in cyber scams for criminal groups. She was beaten and taken to work in a nearby casino, where she managed to text her parents about her whereabouts. Efforts to help these trafficked youths have been hindered by heavy fighting in Myanmar, and Lao authorities have been accused of complicity. Eight parents of trafficked Laotians have filed a complaint, seeking help from the government.
