Ligia, age 13 Ligia was living with her mother and siblings in Bonanza, Costa Atlañtica. Her mother took Ligia and abandoned her other children, to go to Managua. She met a man who was renting a room in a house where other people lived. This man was an alcoholic. Ligia and her mother moved in with this man. Later the mother left the country and left Ligia with this man to be his slave. Ligia did not know about her mother’s whereabouts. Ligia did not speak Spanish. Her native lan guage is Mequito, so she could not even communicate. Ligia would cook, clean and then this perpetrator would force her to sleep with him where he sexually molested her. One day Ligia sneaked out of the room and was able to convey to the lady of the house what was happening. Once investigated, authorities took her into protective custody and placed her in a center. ************************************************************************* Prayer Requests from the FFL Prayer Team : • Janette Jager is on a mission trip to Montana.
