I think this is called 'the pot calling the kettle black' when a pimp like the PM of Haiti accuses Baptist missionaries of child trafficking.

It is beyond me how the US will stand aside and let a pimp like the PM of Haiti accuse the Baptist missionaries, currently being held in Haiti, of human trafficking. It's a fairly obvious that they were moving these children for purely humanitarian purposes and the scenario that is more than likely true is that the government officials are upset that the current pool of children that would normally be sold into slavery is currently low because of the earthquake and their income has been somewhat reduced. The news media has once again passed over some key points in an effort to make a faith based aid group look bad, the first and most glaring is the fact that human trafficking in Haiti is common place in fact it is so common that they have a name for those sold into bondage it is 'restavek'.

The sanitized version states that parents send their child to work for host household because they lack the resources to support the child, in some cases the child is treated well and in others the child is abused. My vote would be on number two just about every time and the evidence is there to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. The story goes that poor rural people send their children to more affluent people in the cities thinking they will have better opportunities and escape the poverty that exists in the rural enclaves. This type of activity could not take place without the consent of the higher authorities in a country the size of Haiti which would indicate to the outsider that the government has more than just it's fingers in this mess.

As of today the government is talking to the missionaries and if they are even moderately bright at best they will let these people go without any consequence and do it quietly, because they are about to get an enormous payday as the US begins to rebuild their country and the illegal gain they all stand to make will more than offset what they take in selling children on the black market. Since we are going to get tapped to handle almost the entire rebuild of Haiti I think it would be totally appropriate to line up all of the ruling body there and do away with them all, this would at least give the people of Haiti a chance at finally building a real country.
