Minovres Palomparo, and for 6 years, I wore the capillaries from hotel in the Bronx.
2:13:11
The hotel offered a bonus by hour.
2:13:13
They were very serious bronze possibly including human trafficking.
2:13:16
I never received any training in how to recognize human trafficking, and how to report it or how to keep myself at the get safe.
2:13:22
When I guess asked it for many hours or different members visit to the same room, I knew something was going on.
2:13:28
I reported suspicious activities to the reception and the management, but they always ignored these problems and say, are we on the lockdown?
2:13:35
The management knew who their customers were, and what was going on on the hotel.
2:13:40
They didn't want any I mean, they did not want anyone big things, workers, or the police to interfere in their profits.
2:13:47
They closed their eyes and pressured all the workers to do so as well.
2:13:51
I was afraid not only to the safety of the or the potential big things of trafficking, but also for my own.
2:13:57
I'm a single man.

I wanted to make sure that I came home every night.
