31.01.2010 - Traffic children in Haiti during and after the earthquake warning 31.01.2010 - Child trafficking in Haiti during and after the earthquake. Ten Americans arrested for illegal trafficking of children. Now the children established by various international institutions rose to 15 and 33 abducted in a hospital that expatriate these official figures. NEW YORK (source agencies their various rights reserved) - Ten people Americans who are part of a Christian organization in Idaho were stopped by the authorities of Haiti to the border with the Dominican Republic and then imprisoned in Port-au-Prince surprised because on a bus traveling on board of which 33 children aged between two months and 14 years.
A report of "Terres des Hommes" has cut a year ago a map of the miserable child trafficking involving all the continents, these events are yet another confirmation of these "journeys of despair."
In 2007 17 Europeans were arrested while they were in France to bring 103 children from one to ten years from Chad.
"Arche de Zoe," was the NGO that carried children and had argued that they were orphans of the war in Darfur, but a survey conducted by the Red Cross, UN High Commissioner for Refugees and UNICEF revealed that almost all small (currently 91 out of 103) have at least one parent or an adult who see a parent. Overall
found themselves arrested nine French citizens (the three journalists and six members of the association), seven English crew of the plane that was to transfer the children in France, a Belgian pilot who has brought in a small plane some of the children in the area of \u200b\u200bAbeche in eastern Chad and four citizens who are accused of having helped the NGO in its operation. Then almost all adults are were released after a prior conviction.
This is another current real test, the "psychological and physical abuse" inherent in the trafficking of minors. On the evening of 31 \\ 01 \\ 2010, the U.S. embassy said Agence France Presse that the Americans were detained for "violation of Haitian immigration." Some U.S. agencies such as CNN claimed that according to some sources close to the Haitian police to suspect that these are likely linked to trafficking in illegal adoptions in the United States.
women arrested an American, is a native of Idaho and humanitarian leader of New Life Children's Refuge, has denied the allegations.
She defended herself by saying that "We have come to Haiti to help those who have no other source of help," says Laura Silsby, adding: "We are confident that the truth will be established." The Americans speak of a clear and unequivocal claim that the accusations of "theft" of children are unfounded, however, the children were without a passport (because the law requires that the Haitian people leaving the country must obtain authorization from the government). This association only wanted to take the children in the Dominican Republic to assist them, because their orphanage did not exist in Haiti. The Haitian Minister of Culture, Marie Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue, said that the border with the Republic Dominican, "the police saw a bus in which they were traveling very edge of undocumented children. So it was decided to take the bus to Port-au-Prince."
from international organizations such as UNICEF and others are warning about the danger that too real of the two million children are alone there is a real danger: the hunters of children are at work since the beginning of the earthquake and not knows how many children may already be gone without anyone noticing it, just as during all natural disasters such as wars and natural disasters. "We need to hurry, no time. We must protect the children of Haiti by the jackals, by slave traders who have been in hunting during and immediately after the earthquake, "says Vincenzo Spadafora, president of Unicef \u200b\u200bItaly, on the case also involved Valerio Blacks' Save the Children Italy:" The news worried because there is now evidence that people in good faith or in bad faith, that do to traffic on the despair and poverty, can rob children to bring in other nations with different purposes.
The purposes other than mentioned by Valerio Blacks are the most diverse illegal adoption, for other crimes as more likely to work black, and others, and why not possible and regrettable, but true pornography.
hunters children have never good intentions: if the adoption has already many risks, and you know after the adoption, illegal ones are always the greatest risks to the baby.
We know that there are international forces are ready to rush on the spot and only deal with children who are moving by themselves, but perhaps not as much coordination.
Large organizations like the rush and other Uniceff now or are already in place to prevent the very first case in the poorest countries, but there must also be closer coordination between them to save as much as possible of the children. Thanks to their reports they also see the inhuman side of disasters to which all must contribute in any way and time, but we know that other organizations, criminal organizations have already ready to run under the pretext of aid, however, is just one more profitable "traffic of the Lambs."
