My husband and I had this same conversation ...John,<br />My husband and I had this same conversation and I agree completely with you. While they may have had good intentions, NO ONE can go into a foreign land and totally disregard the laws of that land and kidnap children. If it had happened in this country, can you imagine the outrage - even if the children in question had been taken from homes where they were being abused. Americans are NOT above the laws in foreign lands. Some of those arrested where the teen children of adults arrested, can you imagine the affect that will have on THEIR futures? It will follow them for the rest of their lives... when they go to college, try to get a job, everything they do will be marred by this event. People need to think about the consequenses of what they are doing BEFORE they do something.<br />Sorry to babble on, but, just like John, things like this are what make other countries hate Americans, and I love our country and don't want ANYONE to ruing it!Lorie Shewbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021526379136899314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646831453657765338.post-1114708012367985372010-02-02T04:31:25.460-08:002010-02-02T04:31:25.460-08:00Thanks for the comments. I was reluctant to post ...Thanks for the comments. I was reluctant to post this because it is such a negative point of view, but I simply couldn't help it this time. You're absolutely right Mel. I've tried to keep their good intentions in mind and I hope that they are cleared of all charges (provided nothing shady was going down). I'm just tired of Americans always getting this type of "Bad Press". Hopefully, they were working the legal aspects before taking action and these things simply failed to catch up. They could have avoided all of this by just staying home and helping the needy in their own communities, however,this wouldn't have provided the "20 minutes" that they are all after.<br />Again, thanks for the great comments guys.EJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954332816460285410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646831453657765338.post-24072442466259176842010-01-31T22:46:50.796-08:002010-01-31T22:46:50.796-08:00I would not be so speedy in condemning them for I ...I would not be so speedy in condemning them for I do not know their real motives. Maybe they are just trying to be helpful to these orphaned kids without realizing that what they were doing was illegal. Probably they thought that since Haiti is in turmoil, the authorities may not have the time to sort out their request for adoption for these children. At any rate, the Haitian authorities will know for certain their real motives and will surely throw the book at them if they indeed violated Haiti's laws. Thanks for the post.
