Dimitra Ayfantis had harsh words after hearing that her neighbor, Sook Yeong Park, was charged with holding two Korean children captive as slaves for six years, a 16-year-old girl and her 14-year-old brother.

Ayfantis: They arrest her? What she deserve.
Boone: She deserves it?
Ayfantis: That's right.

Ayfantis said on the outside, they seemed to be OK.

"Very sweet kids. Very polite kids," she said.

But prosecutors say inside the home, the children were horribly mistreated. They say the girl was forced to do 10 hours of housework nearly every day after school until 2 a.m. and was sometimes required to give Park manicures, pedicures and body massages that lasted for hours. Neighbors would see the girl cleaning the yard while Park and her family watched.

"I see her come out, sweeping and taking out the garbage, and they just look at her. Sometimes, she's carrying something heavy and they just look at her," said one neighbor.

It's alleged that the children's passports were confiscated after they were brought to America by one of Park's relatives in 2010.

Prosecutors say the defendant physically abused the victims, and forced them to sleep on the floor and in a closet without mattresses.

The defendant also is accused of forcing the children to work at grocery stores and give her their earnings.

Ayfantis, the neighbor, was surprised by the abuse allegations but not about the money.

Ayfantis: Of course, of course.
Boone: You're not surprised.
Ayfantis: No.

She says she believes Park took the money she paid the children for yardwork last year.

The allegations came to light when the children told school officials they were being abused.

Park's lawyer says the case is "entirely based upon the uncorroborated statement of a 16-year-old who doesn't like the parenting choices of her legally adoptive mother. That does not add up to a crime." 

Park was charged with labor trafficking, third-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child. She faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
