We adopted our daughter in Romania in May, 1991. She was three months old when we got her out. I shudder to think what would have happened to her if she was still there.
About 12 years ago, I met a young lady who was later explained to be a "slave" of an older Romanian man. The girl who had brought her to the restaurant had gotten the police involved. Arrests were made, and it was revealed that she was turned over by the parents to this particular fellow, who fled back to Romania with the girl as soon as he got out on bail. We never heard from them again.
The girl who had turned them in was subjected to death threats which ended after the guy fled the country.
