Our au pairs best friend is also in our country as an au pair. Different area..
She spoke to us on Monday telling us how unhappy she was. She has a tough job as often happens here with ap's. As we have done previously I offered that if she wants to fly here will will ensure a roof over her mouth. I spoke to her mother too. Lovely family.
Then blow me.. I get a call today from her telling me she has moved out and has a place to stay this week. Will fly to us next week. All good. Why the tears I asked? She told her host family she was unhappy and would leave. ... So they in turn have reported her to the police for child abuse! ... The reason behind this she was told was that she now has to stay at the host address as she put that on her immigration form. And cannot leave with police charges in place.
Luckily immigration assure me that's wrong and we have for good measure out our details for her contact.
Horrid people. Confused
Why would you force someone to stay who "abused" your kids grrrr I'm so cross!

Will the host family face any charges for maliciously fabricating a crime? They sound horrible.
