Enlighten Me, Please
Does any one truly understand the "Missionaries Charged with Kidnapping" story?
Because I don't.
Are these people simply stupid or naive, scooping up 33 children and trying to rush them out of Haiti?
Are the deliberately posing as naive?
Are they, in fact, evil maniacs?
I really have no idea.
They keep telling any one who will listen - or bring them bread and water - that this is all simply a misunderstanding and a case of some innocently missing paper work.
It's possible...but...
Please explain your take on this peculiar circumstance.

I believe if these were white children, the missionaries would have expended Herculean effort to find their parents or close relatives. They wouldn't just whisk them away. They are treating these children with the kindness they would show...to stray animals. It is racism and condescension masquerading as compassion. And it's so ingrained, they don't even know that's what it is. I pray for these children to be reunited with members of their families and to live happy, healthy lives amongst those who know and love them.
Nutbars the lot of them. I hope they throw away the key.
"I pray for these children to be reunited with members of their families and to live happy, healthy lives amongst those who know and love them."
My sentiments exactly.............

David,
A CNN background check on the woman who is the leader of this group has turned up enough information to confirm that she is not a Mother Theresa. She had recently failed in a business venture and lost her home. Watching her being interviewed invoking God's support for her actions, oozing sincerity throughout, was spooky.
David, there's big bucks in international "adoption" carried out by entrepreneurial "agencies". A better solution in Haiti would be to direct that money to the poor parents so that they could raise their own children in their own culture. As for true orphans, there are legitimate orphanages operated by reputable agencies operating under the UN.
If you saw the CNN interview with the pastor of the church this group attended, he was clearly uncomfortable with their actions and intimated that they had overstepped their mandate from the church. Follow the money.
