They were just spreading the gospel, trying to help, right?

1. My guess is that they were going to indoctrinate the kids into their way of thinking.

3. Indoctrinate = Brainwashing

4. my guess is that they were going to sell those kids

These "missionaries" from Idaho are child traffickers. Life in prison suits them.

[stopbush]

7. Bingo! Trafficking in children to fill their coffers so they can continue to lie for Christ.

9. I'm with you on that.

I think their plan was more nefarious than is being told. Why would "good Christians" trying to give children a better life not bother to have the proper paperwork? If they had been successful in their quest, those children would have been untraceable. Would they have been held as slaves, sex slaves, used for snuff films (yes, they do still exist)? I am just so glad they were caught and I hope all of them do time in prison for stealing children.

What church sent them there? Who financed the trip? Whose plane is waiting for them at the airport? Anyone know the answers to those questions?

I won't even remark on their appearance in the pic posted over there. Never mind I can't help myself, those two women look like thye have lived very hard lives. It's the look that long time hard drinkers tend to have. They certainly don't look like they can afford a trip to Haiti.

12. They told the PARENTS of the children that they were going to The Domincan Republic

to be cared for and get an education - that they would be able to visit their kids and that the kids would come home with an education so they could provide for their families in the future. Something the parents felt unable to provide for their kids in the present, so they let them go.

Little did they realize that these 'missionaries' had adoption plans in store for their children.

It's disgusting - hope they have a good long time to do penance for their deception and arrogance.

13. Oh, they had families all picked out for them did they? Or, were they just planning on selling them

to the highest bidder?

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. yep, teach the girls to be submissive.

[Ozymanithrax]

2. Send them to prison for a long time...

[gratuitous]

5. That would be a just result

But the American media and the American public won't stand for that, so my guess is that they get a fine - suspended - and are kicked out of Haiti, told never to return.

6. But -- they were on a mission from God...

[MineralMan]

10. Damn. All those kids who could have been doing chores around

the house. Now, they can't bring 'em home, save 'em for Jebus, and get their houses cleaned at the same time. Pity...

And they'd chosen the children so well, feeling their arms for muscles, picking the strong ones, and all that. I'm sure they're just heartbroken.

11. they specifically asked for kids under the age of 10, which makes me

think they were doing it to sell kids for "adoption" illegally.
