[...] well-intentioned fashion, I’m sure that this group of idiots thought some poor kids in Haiti never would have it so good if they didn’t take them out of Haiti so that they could indoctrinate them into Christianity. [...]

Just the facts that can be reasonably verified reveal Laura Silsby as a devious, demented sociopath, a blatant liar and a “great pretender”. She pretends to be a christian but produces only the fruits of the devil. She leaves a quagmire of debt and legal actions against her and flys off to Haiti (with whose money ??? maybe the unpaid wages of those she swindled) with obvious plans of kidnapping as many children as she could get her hands on to ultimately sell them in adoptions to foreigners. She lied to the parents…with assurances they would be able to visit their children and she would keep in touch …. she apparently lied through her teeth to her traveling companions (though they seem too stupid to feel sorry for) …. she lied to the press …. she lied to the authorities …. claiming to be unaware of needing documentaion for the children and the Haitian governments permission to remove their children ( this is the whopper …. come on, what country on the planet will let you sail in and kidnap their children !!!) …. she is obviously lying about having any relationship with the Lord whatsoever ….. in fact she is a painful embarressment to sincere believers. If she gets off by playing the god card it will be a real travesty of justice.
And why on earth would any self respecting sincere congregation of christians back and believe a woman whose life is a nightmare of financial and legal disarray??? How stupid, arrogant and dangerous are these people????

Good intentions yes. Mentally ill . Possible. I’m mentally ill (takes one to know one)
Like getting a speeding ticket, you have to pay the consequences for your actions.
The judge usually says “Ignorance is no exception to the law.” when the “I didn’t know!” answer comes up in court.
Feel for 8 others that trusted , had faith in her (group leaders).
Somebody dropped a lot of money on a 6 month lease on a 45 room hotel in Dominican north coast. (on the ocean?). Will they get their money back?
Haitian prison is a nightmare for anyone. Several of group were only in their teens.
Sad. Really sad.especially for 8 in group that just wanted to help out with earthquake, and raised their hands the Sunday before the trip (for 3 day cruise/Gilligans Island). Wonder who played Gilligan?
They volunteered 2 days before the group took off. Next time do a background check on group leaders
Sad. Lifting group up in prayer daily

What a group does is not necessarily representative of the community. Even within this particular group, it’s very possible that not everyone is on the same page.
The BBC News brings in the perspective that many Haitians are upset the government is focusing more on this group of Americans than the disaster relief in Haiti.

But it’s a completely different thing. The situation calls for really close scrutiny, and nothing puts people above the law. It doesn’t even make sense.
We do want to find good intents in people. A defense attorney has been sacked for bribery. What that means? Not a good sign for me.

This is not religion; this is psychosis.

I am a Christian and very familiar with the Great Commission. and how it’s been distorted and manipulated to serve the interests of these fringe evangelical groups.

When God starts talking back to you–it’s time for a mental health evaluation.
If you are motivated only by the voice of God telling you what to do, you need to be medicated.

They are kidnappers. If they truly were Christian, they never would have gathered up little children and tried to leave the country. They thought they were above the law because their mission is to convert and save. The New Testament trumps international law in their world. A real Christian group would have worked to keep parents and children together. How dare they think God sent them on a mission to take children from their mothers. The woman running this group has no money; no orphanage, and zero credibility. She cannot be defended.

I saw her on the news and was struck by her inability to articulate why she would do this. I heard a lot about God’s Love and what God wants her to do, but not once did she say what she wanted. God this and God that, blah blah blah…she recited it like she’d said it a million times, and it had just lost all meaning.
Cult,anyone?

Jesus had some harsh words for people that would do children harm; perhaps they missed that page in their Bible.

I hope these lunatic zealots get thrown in a Haitain prison. They knew what they were doing was wrong and didn’t care because god was gooing to take care of everything. That worked out well didn’t it ? Guess he just doesn’t care about you or……he simply doesn’t exist. More likely the latter.

I’m sorry, tricking parents into giving up their kids then transporting them out of the country to then profit by offering them for adoption is by definition child trafficking. These kids were traumatized and crying for their parents. They weren’t prepared to care for the them. They were hungry and dehydrated when they got to SOS childrens villages. Some needed medical attention. There are international standards in effect to deal with children that are victims of natural disasters. They showed no genuine concern for the children, only for their goals of setting up an orphanage and adoption enterprise. I don’t care what religion they are, they are traffickers.
