US missionaries in Haiti charged with child abduction


US missionaries arrive at Haiti court

Haiti has charged 10 US missionaries with child abduction and criminal conspiracy for allegedly trying to smuggle children out of the country.
If convicted they face lengthy jail terms, says the BBC's Paul Adams at the court hearing in Haiti's quake-hit capital, Port-au-Prince.
When stopped on the border last Friday, they said they were taking the children to a Dominican Republic orphanage.
But it has emerged some of the 33 youngsters had parents who were alive.
'Kidnappers'
The five men and five women, most of them from Idaho, were due to have a hearing earlier in the week, but that was postponed because of a lack of interpreters.
Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive has labelled the Americans "kidnappers".
Residents in the village of Callebas told an Associated Press news agency reporter they had handed their children over through a local orphanage worker who said he was acting on the Americans' behalf.
The worker is said to have promised the families that the missionaries would educate their children in neighbouring Dominican Republic.
A number of parents in the badly-damaged village said they would find it difficult to provide for their children if they came back.
The mission's leader, Laura Silsby, has said her group had met a Haitian pastor by chance when they arrived last week, and that he had helped them gather the children. She also admitted that they did not have the proper paperwork.
"Our intent was to help only those children that needed us most, that had lost either both their mother and father, or had lost one of their parents and the other had abandoned them," she said from her jail cell on Wednesday.

[YoUDeeMan]

all atheists and God haters are celebrating tonight I'm sure.

And why not? Add in any concerned parent...a bunch of strangers take your kids and attempt to take them out of the country?

Can you imagine if a bunch of Bhuddists came over to New Orleans, gathered up a bunch of children, and tried to lead them across the Mexican border?

Arrogant, stupid, people.

No. I'm having trouble imagining that...

But I get what you're saying.

[dbackjon]

all atheists and God haters are celebrating tonight I'm sure.

Why?

Because atheists approve of people going into a disaster area, lying to the parents of kids, and of taking the kids to "place them in adoption" for the low, low price of $50K?

[JayJ79]

Angelina Jolie will be disappointed that her shipment didn't make it through.

Angelina Jolie will be disappointed that her shipment didn't make it through.

Not to mention Madonna, and other assorted weirdos.

[Skjellyfetti]

I don't get why Angelina Jolie gets so much crap for adopting kids from the 3rd world... she's only adopted 3 or 4 or so. Better than giving birth to a bunch imo.

[Gil Dobie]

What is Obama having his corpse men do to help the situation?

Parents willingly gave away kids

CALLEBAS, Haiti -- Parents in this struggling village above Haiti's capital said Wednesday they willingly handed their children to American missionaries who showed up in a bus promising to give them a better life -- contradicting claims by the Baptist group's leader that the children came from orphanages and distant relatives.

The 10 Baptists, most from Idaho, were arrested last week trying to take 33 Haitian children across the border into the Dominican Republic without the required documents, according to outraged Haitian officials, who have called them child traffickers.

The Haitian parents told The Associated Press they surrendered their children on Jan. 28, two days after a local orphanage worker acting on behalf of the Baptists convened nearly the entire village of about 500 people on a dirt soccer pitch to present the Americans' offer.

The orphanage worker, Issac Adrien, said he told the villagers their children would be educated at a home in the Dominican Republic so that they might eventually return to take care of their families.

throws the kidnapping and "taking them away from their parents" argument out the window. Angelina Jolie gets her kids for nothing more than more undeserved photo ops and tax write offs yet the liberal media eats her collective ass out over it. Goddamned liberal media and anybody who associates with them make me fucking sick while good people constantly get shit on. I HATE THE NEW FUCKING AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did the Baptist group leader lie about where the children came from? Also, why didn't they get the proper paperwork filled out before trying to cross the countries border? I guess these missionaries are such good people that they shoudn't have to follow rules.

And other reports, Catamountman, say the parents were told the children were being taken for a TWO-WEEK VACATION to get them out of the earthquake zone.

THEY WERE STOLEN BY SLIMEBALLS USING THE GUISE OF CHRISTIANITY.


Just like slimeballs like PAT ROBERTSON, who claims to be Christian in order to fleece millions from people.

So much for "Focus on the Family"

[houndawg]

I heard that the missionaries were were going to sacrifice one of the kids at church every week. Cut out their hearts while an old lady waves a chicken foot and chants spells.
