American Child Thieves in Haiti are going down.
You can tell their spokeswoman lied her ass off. Watch the videos and her eyes blinking as she lies her ass off about it.

And all the evidence coming out now shows they are nothing but child thieves.

Spending years in a Haiti jail for this shit might teach them they cannot exploit a disaster to steal children and sell them (100 kids at $10,000/kid = $1,000,000).

And it's now been revelaed, 2/3 of the kids they were trying to steal were NOT orphans.

2. I just watched on CNN
CNN has good covereage of these child thieves.

It's being covered right now by Anderson Cooper.

Now, when CNN journalists try to interview them, they just break into hymns.

They're going to spend years ina Haiti jail for this bullshit.

3. I seriously doubt that they will spend much time in jail.
They will get some expensive lawyers funded by various religious groups. Our government will make a deal with the Haitian government. The deal will include money. That is how the world works.

5. Any trial will be extremely slow coming
so they will spend time in a Haitian jail during the worst time possible to spend time in a Haitian jail.

There are other things for the Haitian government and justice system to concern themselves with right now.

And I guarantee you, it's way too fucking early for the US government to get involved because it's political poison right now with everything CNN has revealed. Even religious groups will have to rethink backing these fucks after the government of the Dominican Republic revealed they knew they were violating the law in what they were doing. Too many scam artists use Jesus in their scams for any legitimate religious group to take a chance on these fucks right now.

8. At least there's that de facto punishment.
Sadly I'm not confident that it will be enough, or that a trial, if given, will be just.

13. How about the lawyers from Pat Robertsons law school? They should be empathetic and learned.

Yes, there is sarcasm intended. We still have their contribution to the U.S. Attorney problem - ongoing. They are political lawyers.

4. Haitian jail is seriously a place no one would want to be in.
They deserve it, but I pity them anyway.

7. If Haiti had a functioning government, they might
My money's on them being sternly lectured by a Haitian judge, fined, and being told to leave the country and never return. The U.S. government and the right wing will not stand for "good Christians" being put on trial in a foreign country, and Haiti doesn't really have the resources to tend to a gaggle of spoiled brats.

They will come back, trade on their "troubles" for about four to six weeks, and then pretty much return to the obscurity whence they came. And they will probably never, for even a moment, appreciate just how lucky they are not to have finished their sojourn on this planet in a hail of bullets at the border.

12. "Do unto others"
Amount of money to raise a kid in America to age 18..$100K as a minimum?
I'm guessing that for $100K you can pull a few whole families out of poverty in Haiti, or feed a couple hundred kids for a year.
