The mother of the girl sought help from the foundation after girl called home, crying and saying that she had been forced into selling sex and a customer had beaten her. 
The mother told the foundation that her sister-in-law, Pavina Thongchua, 20, forced her daughter into the sex trade about seven months ago. 
Pavina was later arrested and admitted that she has been soliciting customers for the girl via a Line application.
