10 Americans Arrested Taking 33 Children Out of Haiti
Permalink  

Ten Americans were detained by Haitian police on Saturday as they tried to bus 33 children across the border into the Dominican Republic, allegedly without proper documents.
The Baptist church members from Idaho called it a "Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission," meant to save abandoned children from the chaos following Haiti's earthquake. Their plan was to scoop up 100 kids and take them by bus to a rented hotel at a beach resort in the Dominican Republic, where they planned to establish an orphanage.
The children were not orphans.

Do you think that the 10 Americans should have tried to illegally take the children out of Haiti?

I appreciate their effort but if they wanted to liberate these kids from all the chaos then they should have done it the legal way
