I don't have an ounce of pity for the others though -not an ounce

They didn't *just take* the kids--the parents gave permission. They should have gone through official channels, and that was their mistake--but obviously a big-hearted one.

A good lesson learned: Either go through the correct government channels--or be stealthier next time! LOL!!

LOL, is that the advice you give to people in prison too :P jkjk LOL

I personally know Christians who have had to flee their countries because of religious persecution. It isn't always possible to follow the "proper channels", even though in this case it probably would have been the right way to go.

They should be thanking the good Lord Jesus they're not sitting in a Kreyol prision for 25 to life.

Their "advisor" appears to be a person of interest in a case involving human trafficking in South America.

The guy wanted in South America is wanted for luring young ladies into prostitution by using bogus job offers in modelling.


I know the Americans will eventually be released, but none of this had to happen like this!!!!
