She was subjected to relentless physical violence, including being burned with a flat iron, struck with a chair, stabbed with scissors, kicked, punched, and dragged down the stairs.
The relentless brutality eventually led to the loss of vision in her left eye.
Despite the ongoing maltreatment, Diaz struggled to find a way out. It was only when she sought help from her male employer that she was finally able to escape her harrowing situation.
After enduring years of abuse, she managed to return home to the Philippines in January 2025.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) has since stepped in to support Diaz. OWWA Administrator Arnell Ignacio personally visited her and provided financial assistance. I
n a video shared by GMA, Ignacio assured that Leslie would not be neglected and that the agency would continue to assist her as she recovers from her traumatic experience.

The boy apparently called 911 to report the supposed “bad behavior” of his mom. This prompted Village of Mount Pleasant police officers to pay a visit to the kid’s home. It turned out that the “bad behavior” he reported was about something he thought his mother failed to give him.
