Fortune teller blamed for teen 'torture'
A Vietnamese teenage employee, Ms Leilani dos Santos was abused by a couple. This event happened because the couple believed what a Fortune Teller who told them that the one who had stolen their money was a person they loved and stayed close with them.
On Feb 17 after she went beck from working in a barber shop, the couple started to tortured her. Mr Tran smothered her and beat her unconsciously. He even beat her in the back with a meat cleaver, intimidated her with a samurai sword and burnt her arm with a cigarette.At the same time, Ms Tran threatened to cut off her finger. The couple also warned Ms Santos that they might hurt her boy friend, boyfriend's family and her sister.
Ms Leilani dos Santos also claimed that the couple played lady Gaga songs loudly so that outsiders would not hear her screaming for help. She was deadlocked and released at about 8a.m. the next day. However, Ms Tran's lawyer Peter Elliott asserted to Ms dos Santos that she had embellished the incident to obtain victim's compensation.

This incident seems like so unreasonable. I can't understand why the couple can believe in what have been told by the Fortune Teller and abuse a person whom they loved? I think that they should react rationally by investigating the real truth on the stealing incident, not by doing crime according to the claim made by a fortune teller, not even a detective or anyone that can be trusted. It should not happen in today's society and rationale should be inculcated.
