stealing in the name of help

  • Jan. 31st, 2010 at 1:26 PM
wtfery
I'm watching the news reports of children being stolen from Haiti.
I'm sure someone will want to correct me and say-oh no they need to be taken to (insert not Haiti here) for 'medical' help.

Bullshit. Pure bullshit.

After the earthquake, the' number of adoption applications for Haitian children has soared from 10 per month to 150 in a three day period'
Suddenly church groups are taking Haitian children by bus to the Domincan Repubic for 'medical care'? No.
Not when the name of the group is New Life Children's Refuge. You know you're doing the WRONG thing when the church pulls the mission statement after everyone gets arrested.
Central Valley Baptist Church

A ten member church team traveled to Haiti to help rescue children from one or more orphanages that had been devastated in the earthquake on January 12. The children were being taken to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic where they could be cared for and have their medical and emotional needs attended to. Our team was falsely arrested today and we are doing everything we can from this end to clear up the misunderstanding that has occurred in Port au Prince.


New Life Children's Refuge made it very clear from the jump they were going to Haiti to steal-I mean rescue children.
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:dZ7o1xPSqFEJ:www.esbctwinfalls.com/clientimages/24453/pdffiles/haiti/nlcrhaitianorphanrescuemission.pdf+nlcrhaitianorphanrescuemission&hl=en&gl=us&sig=AHIEtbSSP5WBhjDt2Ag5f-RNlP11jmIVEg
It's all spelled out-we plan to take children from Haiti across the border to the Dominican Republic to be adopted by rich white Christians.

http://news.mobile.msn.com/en-us/articles.aspx?aid=35162046&afid=1&pg1=2501

Silsby, 40, of Boise, Idaho, was asked if she didn't consider it naive to cross the border without adoption papers at a time when Haitians are so concerned about child trafficking. "By no means are we any part of that. That's exactly what we are trying to combat," she said.

She said she hadn't been following news reports while in Haiti .

Silsby said they had documents from the Dominican government, but did not seek any paperwork from the Haitian authorities before taking the children to the border.


Why do you have to cross the border into the Dominican Republic? Surely there are areas of Haiti unaffected by the earthquake. Surely there are areas of Haiti where you can buy land for your rich white prospective parents to lounge, vacation and come home with a little brown human souvenir/fashion accessory that lets the entire world know they are very important and much better than you.
Oh wait-that would mean you would have to have REAL orphans with real documentation, not random children you find on the street and skirt off across the border.
Not following the news reports? What sane rational person goes into a foreign country that for all intents and purposes is a war zone and isn't following the news reports? nuhuh. Not buying that.


I have no empathy.
Stealing other people's children, forcing your beliefs upon them, stripping them of their culture and language then selling them to rich white people as trinkets is so far past wrong...I don't even have words. 

Oh wait-yes I do.
This isn't rescuing children and giving them a better life, it's setting the stage for a lifetime of serious headfuckery.

I sincerely hope Haiti has the death penalty-puts them all of the New Life Children's Refuge 'Haitian orphan rescue mission workers' to death and runs their bodies through the streets as a warning.

DO NOT STEAL OUR CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF YOUR GOD
