One of my patients is a Somali woman about 30 years of age. She tells some very interesting stories about being abducted at an early age from Ethiopia by Somalians and being separated from her family. She apparently was raised Christian (if I remember correctly) and was then forced to marry a Muslim Somali and to convert to Islam. She has many memories of rape and sexual abuse and ultimately was somehow able to flee to this country. She is now separated from her family of origin and has a remaining child in Somalia. She has become psychotic discussing some of this material and functions marginally in this community essentially on public assistance.

I wonder how much this entire boondoggle is costing the taxpayers.

You should have asked this young lady to stay at your house. It would be the right thing to do.
