DEVELOPING: A Haitian attorney says 10 Americans detained in Haiti for trying to take 33 children out of the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake have been charged with child kidnapping.
Edwin Coq says the Americans also are charged with criminal association. The 10 appeared in court Thursday and were whisked away to a jail in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.

From what I understood, they had all the correct paperwork for the day they filed but between when they filed and when they were arrested, the paperwork requirements changed.
I understand the desire to halt child trafficking if that was happening, but jeeze, this is ridiculous.
ping.
White Christian Baptists in the age of Obama, don’t have a chance.
Where’s Hillary Clinton.
Not a peep.
In the phrase “Child Kidnapping”, isn’t the word ‘child’ redundant?
????
I guess adolescents and adults can be kidnapped too...
And anyone who objects is a racist.
Good. I am all for it. I do not want them exporting any people. Florida has 300,000 Haitians or more bankrupting the state. Let all the liberal do gooder Christians house them in their home. I am sick of paying for them.
Help rebuild Haiti but Mark Steyn said these people were incapable of setting up a goat farm before the Earthquake without student volunteers from the USA. Steyn said it was pathetic.
Kidnapping?
They were in plain sight with paperwork. How’s that kidnapping?
This should help the volunteer effort!
The Government of Haiti has spoken loud and clear that it can do without charitable contributions from the American public.
You may want to read up on the woman at the forefront in this case before jumping to conclusions. Apparently the lead of the Baptist delegation has a pretty shady background:

There’s even questions now on whether this is a pay-for-adoptions scam. Others have posted similar information about her past scams on other threads. She does seem to leave a trail of debt and broken laws everywhere she goes.
Sounds like what some of these do gooder liberal evangelicals or whatever they are want to do. FL is bankrupt thanks to Haitians.
The Catholic charities want more Somalis. 300,000 Somalis can destroy a country. We do not need more Haitians, Somalis or other illegals from third world countries.
They were stealing potential prostitutes from their pimps. They won’t kiss you for that. Taking innocent children from that Hellhole is not going to make the Devil happy.
Maybe we could work a deal to get our citizens back and they can keep John Edwards.
I doubt they would go for it
Wow, now that’s interesting. If true, it does change everything.
Child rescue called “child kidnapping”. Nice.
So if we free our POWs, that is “prison break”, right?
I heard that ........
Obama did not send a U.S. representative to the court hearing
WHY???????????
If we can send them our money why not representation. Call you congressman

I hope they made good use of the money I gave - there won’t be any more.
