Some Mongolian sites have reported that a15 year-old Mongolian girl has been one of the victims of a domestic imprisonment scandal in the United States. The story of the Mongolian teenager surfaced  after US police arrested a woman named Mary Heller for keeping children confined in her Decatur home for years, failing to educate them or, at times, even feed them.

According to the Mongolian Foreign Ministry, the girls who confined in USA home are not Mongolians. The US State Department has also confirmed that the girls are not from Mongolia.
