I think the legal rights of Egyptian peasants who are so poor they have to "lease" their daughters into slavery are shaky at best. Besides that, they had no interest in working to get their daughter back--her enclosed garage with no heat or light was still better than their shack in Egypt, and they felt she was ungrateful for what she had. They came to the U.S. to testify against her when she was fighting for her freedom.
