How can this family forced her to work for them? Can she just walk out?
This is actually very common. They do control the "slaves" through fear and real physical abuse. I read articles about this sort of thing fairly often. If the "slaves" don't work, they get yelled at, beaten, denied food, locked in closets, etc....

It's pretty amazing what some people will do to other people.
