With all I read...this girl is pretty messed up. I went through her blog! Infact! Her very first post on her blog which was 8yrs ago explains it all.

At such a tender age! She was just 17 when it all started. #ISincerelyFeelForHer cry

@pickabeau1, the restrictions were just temporary.if in the long run she shows she is a good girl,i will then give her 100% freedom. i am personally a security conscious person and i am afraid for my little kids. and the pay was ok.my husband even asked if money was the problem but he said no. we had already bought clothes for her, i even took her to see a doctor when she complained of an illness within that one week.

@rukemi,i dont think you need to see the mother. i am sure ur colleague who linked u is aware of all you have done to help. just let it go and pray about the next one you will get.

mummy maran, how are my kids doing?
You miss my point
I am not arguing about your policies

I am saying these girls are in demand and you giving them stress gives them the impetus to get someone else
Its not about being an informant or not

Someone else will snap that girl in a matter of days
FamilyRe: This Is What My House Help Did To Me by pickabeau1: 11:34am On Nov 23, 2015
bolded
it may not be this but the restrictions you placed on her coupled with pay

These girls are in high demand and someone is ready to take her quickly


mummyf:
thank GOD it was not more than this oo. just keep doing good.
in this economy, two hands on deck are not even enough to run a home comfortably so househelps are necessary.
if you eventually get another househelp, check her bags thoroughly before admitting them into your house.when and if u give her a phone for communication sake, ring it in her ears that the only number you want to see on it is ur husband's and yours.
when you buy airtime on it, buy only 100 naira card and tell her its just to flash you and u will call her back. always monitor the phone.
the truth is that no matter how nice you can be to anybody, they can still betray you. it does not only apply to househelps even family members.

i got an househelp recently, on checking her bag the first time she got to my house, she had a very long list of phone numbers.i asked where she got the numbers frto om, she said they are her friends. she even had a sim card but no phone. i told her i will give her a phone and another sim just for communication sake. i wanted to watch her for 2 weeks before giving her the phone. after one week, the agent that brought her came and said they want to take her back.that her family wants her. he brought my money back and took her back immediately. they even left her bag behind in the rush to leave with her.
my own assumption is this; she could have been sent to be an informant but my close monitoring did not allow her have access to a phone to call her ' friends'.
she might have come to my house with somethng else in mind.

the reason for my epistle is for other people to learn from it.one has to be security conscious.

Like how they softened Adultery to Extra-marital affair OR fornication to Pre-marital sex... just to softened the accusing feeling when you pronounce it..

How does this soften up people

The evolution of words is not the issue it is the particular pandering to certain interests and sensitivities that is the focus.
Nothing new there

Interests have always determined how words play out
FamilyRe: Boys Night Out Discussions by pickabeau1: 8:48pm On Nov 22, 2015
ApexTitan:
In this case what drives the need for descriptors isn't the want for better identification or labelling but a pandering to the so-called sensitivities and emotions of certain people. They assigned new words to things that were hitherto neutral in order to cover up or douse any so-called feelings of hurt for the people involved, in some cases it is done to make these things more acceptable and normal. Do you know these days in the Western media its is considered somewhat sexist to refer to a fireman as that, the preferred term is fire fighter - this is in order not to offend any women. Fat now is plus sized - an accommodation for fat people. A man is either cis-gendered or transgendered - an accommodation for trannies. It goes on and on all in the name of political correctness and in the process simplicity is thrown out through the window.
Fireman because some women became too

For me words evolve

What I am saying humans will still find words to describe those same conditions

Plus sized will still have negative connotations to some

That's my point

Its an unending battle

Timbuktou:
It is softening up, bros. The word "fat" isn't originally an insulting word, it's neutral. Anybody can use any word derogatorily. Dem no dey yab person with skin colour; e.g, "Ghanaians are so black when they pee coke comes out." Should Ghanainans change the word "black" to something else? Dem go still use that word yab who dem wan yab.

If the word is constantly being changed it makes no sense. People should stop being so damn sensitive. Mark my words, "plus sized" will soon be an official insult.
And u still don't get my point

After plus sized it will be some things else

Humans need descriptors

Political correctness will end western civilisation. grin. I'm always having arguments with my civilised friends in the west.

The other day I had an argument about the word "fat" being offensive. Never mind that this word was perfectly normal years ago. Now plus sized or big is normal, a decade from now plus sized and big will be the new offensive. Dem go change to something like "extra" grin. The west is continually softening people. Sadly, like TV noted, it's spreading worldwide.

When defending your opinion is considered violence, you know the Lord is fastening sandal buckles and Gabriel is tuning his trumpet.
I disagree with you on changing names means softening up
Changing from fat to plus to big etc
The words are not the issue but the association and usage

As long as long there is differentiation there will always be a name

A person who has unhealthy body image aka fat or plus sized will always be this

A spade by another name will always be a tool to do stuff
