WYCLEF TWEETS A WARNING TO CHILD TRAFFICKERS!

PUBLISHED 1st FEBRUARY 2010
Wyclef has issued a warning to people that are allegedly exploiting children on the devastated island of Haiti, which was devastated by a 7.0 earthquake that killed over 200,000 people and left many children displaced. “My message to the child traffickers in Haiti… I give you my word, we will hunt you down one by one, and you will be judged with no Mercy.” Yesterday (January 31), ten Americans were formally charged with kidnapping 33 Haitian children and attempting to bring them to an orphanage across the border in the Dominican Republic. According to Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, the missionaries were from an Idaho church group. They denied the Prime Minister’s accusation and refuted allegations that they were involved in a plot to kidnap the children. "We came here simply to help these children and we went to the border based on the approval of the Dominican government to take the children into the Dominican Republic and the pastor entrusting these precious children to our care because his orphanage collapsed and his churches collapsed, and he had nowhere for these children to go," the group's spokeswoman, Laura Silsby said. As of press time, the 10 missionaries were still being held in a police station at Port-Au-Prince.
