Aid group steps in to find families of Haitian ‘orphans’

The World

A group of ten American Baptists accused of kidnapping 33 Haitian children, who the group members said were orphans, has raised complicated questions about the intersection of good intentions and misguided actions.

The group that was asked to look after the children following their ordeal is SOS Children’s Villages.
