Ten Americans Charged With Kidnapping In Haiti
By: MetroSoruce News
(Port-au-Prince) -- Ten Americans who allegedly tried to take 33 Haitian children into the Dominican Republic have been charged with kidnapping and criminal association by Haitian prosecutors.
The five men and five women, said to be missionaries, were detained last week at the Dominican border with Haiti. They claimed they were taking the children to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic where the kids would have a better life. They allegedly lacked the government documents necessary to take the kids out of the country. Media reports also indicated that some of the children were not orphans and had parents and other relatives in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
