There are another couple threads on this case that are just plin sad.
It’s discouraging to read the posts from so many who are so gullible and easily persuaded by smear tactics. The original Haitian claim was that this group was trying to abduct these kids for sex slave trafficking. Because Silsby’s had financial problems, she’s therefore guilty of sex-trafficking, according to the logic of way too many FReepers who consider themselves so well-informed about all other political and media issues. They bought right into the Haitian spin in a New York second. The country doesn’t even have a real government, for pete’s sake. They’ve got our people in jail after letting all their own criminals out of the jail after the earthquake, criminals who are now out pillaging and raping. Haiti is a pathetic toilet run by greedy, corrupt scammers, yet we have people taking Haiti’s word about what happened and the group’s intentions and efforts, combining it with a story about a woman not being able to pay all her bills and business obligations, and thus concluding the suspects were up to some diabolical plot to steal a bunch of kids for sex trafficking and/or an illegal adoption scam.

Scary. It makes me wonder if I’m on the right side after all. It just shows you how impressionable and unable to think critically so many Americans are, and these are people who consider themselves well-informed about the tactics of the media and corrupt, banana republic tinpot despots. They’re thinking skills are no better than graduates of our public school system from the last 25 years, for all the smarts they show - not.
We should pull all government support out of that cesspool now. I never agreed with sending taxpayer-funded aid there in the first place. If people want to contribute privately, fine.
Source please? I've read virtually everything in the media and blogs about this case, and have never seen any such claim. You made it up. No Haitian official ever said anything of the sort.
Having adopted internationally three separate times from countries much like Haiti, I would say I probably know a great deal more about this than you do.
