Americans charged with child trafficking in Haiti

Ten Americans have been charged with child trafficking after they allegedly tried to leave Haiti with more than 30 survivors of the country's devastating earthquake.
10名美國人在涉嫌企圖帶著30多個地震倖存者離開海地后,被指控拐賣兒童。
The Americans say they were trying to help orphaned children, but Haitian authorities say they had no documents to prove they had cleared the adoption of the children.
The Baptists were arrested at Malpasse, Haiti's main border crossing with the Dominican Republic, after Haitian police conducted a routine search of their bus.
There were 33 children, aged from two months to 12 years, on board.
Haitian culture and communications minister Marie Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue says border police "saw a bus with a lot of children".
"When asked about the children's documents, they had no documents," she said.
Social affairs minister Yves Christallin says the Americans are members of an Idaho-based charity called New Life Children's Refuge.
"This is an abduction, not an adoption," he said.

In addition to outright trafficking in children, authorities have voiced fears legitimate aid groups may have flown earthquake orphans out of the country for adoption before efforts to find their parents had been exhausted. |
