This is Thùy Dung, we will call her D., and she will be 16 this year.
She is a pupil in Amsterdam Hanoi, one of the best high schools located in all of Vietnam. She is described by her friends as a cheerful girl with good grades and an overall nice person.
D. was the third daughter of a family that lives in Ninh Binh, Vietnam in a time that the government strictly forbidden parents who bear more than 2 children. She lives with her aunts and other relatives and only occasionally visit her parents.
When she was 11 he parents sent her to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam so she can continue her education in a better condition than a small city in Ninh Binh. She lives with her oldest sister and her husband, along with their 2 children in a house that D.’s parents bought. Sounds normal enough?
But for 5 years she has been continuously abused, physically and mentally by this monster.
She calls him her brother-in-law, who is currently working as a sports news MC for VTV, Vietnamese’s national television broadcaster. What more disturbing is that D.’s family is now currently holding her captive, cutting all outside connection and is using their money and power to turn the blame on to D. and faked the story of her being mentally unstable.

PLEASE READ AND HELP ME SHARE THIS POST TO EXPOSE THIS CHILD ABUSING MONSTER
Hello everyone, today i would like to share to you all my story concerning a rather pressing issue in society, which i know many of other people my age is too afraid of speaking up about. I hope after reading this you'll help me and the others who are stuck in the same situation as well.
This is a story about abuse, or more specifically, "child abuse". I'm 15 years old this year, which means i'm supposed to be protected by the law concerning children's rights. My life used to be in fact, rather average. Everyday i would go to school and come back home, i would eat and sleep like any normal girl would. However, all that changed when that monster appeared.
He's my eldest sister's husband. (This part is a little hard to translate, basically she refused to refer to him as "brother" or "brother in law" and instead call him using the pronoun "nó" which is often used to refer to animals, which is understandable considering how much of a monster he really is). I fear and despise this monster, and i refuse to call him in such an honorable way. Even right now, when i'm sitting here typing these words, chills still run down my spine, i still feel incredibly disgusted everytime i think of his face.
Him and my sister married in 2013, right when i was about to enter middle school. My family used to live and work in Ninh Binh (a province in Northern Vietnam). My parents wanted to send their children to Hanoi (Vietnam's capital city) for education ever since i was in fifth grade. In July, him and my sister got married. At that time, my parents haven't bought the house we are staying in yet. Please let my repeat myself, my parents bought this house, not him (referring to her sister's husband).

There's more to this post, though i don't have any screenshots and the original post has been deleted because the victim's family now has completely control over her social media accounts.

They follow me where ever i go
it feels like prison
Now
If you want to
i only want freedom
if you want to get out of there
i don't think that's impossible
but
you have to consider that once you've escaped
you'll have no family left

(Her friend's texts are in italics)
F**k i'm so scared
she's calling out to us for help
but we don't know what to do
what happened to her?
is her family doing something again?
she's imprisoned
her phone's been taken away
oh no
the password's been changed, some accounts are locked.
who's imprisoning her? and where
she's mentally unstable
The Vietnamese mass media is strictly controlled by a bunch of corrupted politicians so there probably wont be any news coverage of this on any major newspapers or tv so we've got to take matter into our own hands! Please help this girl escape her abusive family!
