[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also learned that if an au pair is sent home during the program by a complaint from her host family, she forfeits her fees. And if she chooses to leave her host family during the program, she has only 2 weeks to find a new host family or she is sent home, again forfeiting her fees. [/quote]

You seem very misinformed.

Either AP or the family can initiate rematch, for any reason.  Unless the AP did something egregious, the AP remains in the house while looking for another family.  The agencies ALWAYS gloss over whatever the issues were.  APs who slept through pick up, had three accidents or [b]poured hot sauce in a child’s mouth as a punishment all managed to find rematch families.[/b]

The fees are so that APs don’t flake and quit, either after matching but prior to coming to the US or after arriving here.  They’re young people who otherwise might flake the moment they’re expected to work.[/quote]
Wouldn't this be child endangerment and why wasn't AP arrested and sent back home?[/quote]

According to the agency and rematch documents, there was unspecified "miscommunication."[/quote]
