So, let's say that the au pair finds out that she's getting paid a third of what her employer claimed on an official document to be paying her (and also considerably less than the legal minimum wage). What's wrong with the au pair then leaving the employer? What's wrong with her seeking legal advice? What's wrong with her lawyer threatening legal action?

Also, I find it very sleazy that the diplomat's sister possesses and released to the press a personal letter from the au pair to her family.
