Summary:
In this article they are talking about how Americans are coming to Haiti to take children's over the border without proper documentation. The Baptist are getting accused about child abduction and they are saying that they are taking the children from the earthquake. Mr. Puello said that the Americans are being held and haven't been feed in two days. The are saying that they only take children's that are the age of 2 months to 12 years old. Since the earthquake they are saying the goverment has halted all adoptions unless they were in motion before the disaster. They are saying if the childrens are parentless or they are lost than they are very valueable and they can get kipnadded and sold. Some parents are saying that they would consider there children somewhere else even if it meant a better life elsewhere.
Reflection:
I think that this is a serious situation because this is crazy how they are just coming to Haiti and taking childrens like its the thing to do. This is kind of helpful and kind of bad because i know that since the earthquake did damage that the americans are trying to help out. But they are also just coming to haiti and taking children without asking people anything. If they do take children they should take all ages except for only ages 2 months to 12 years.
Evidence:
"We did not arrest Americans, we arrested kidnappers,"
"If they get charged i don't know how it's going to play out,"
"I am not an orphan"
"The instinct to swoop in and rescue children may be a natural impulse, but it cannot be the solution for the tens of thousands of children left vulnerable by the Haiti earthquake,"
Questions:
What else can they do to help the kids in Haiti?
How can they stop the Americans from coming to Haiti can kidnapping kids?
What other things can they do to help?
