They shouldn’t be taking kids who are not orphans. What’s up with just getting a busload of kids to take them where? To start an orphanage for kids who aren’t orphaned? So you get charity bucks and fed dollars for an orphanage for these poor Haitian kids who are not really orphans? She sounds like a con artist to me.
Exactly what I was thinking. Government grants, donations, etc. for these children - much of which she can put in her own pocket. And where was she taking these children? Was the orphanage ready for them?
Haitians are so poor they often turn their children over to orphanages so that they can be fed and clothed, which is something their parents can’t do for them. This used to be the case in the US, too, in the 19th century, when poor parents would place their children in orphanages while the parents were still living. Also, sometimes the loss of one parent would mean that the surviving parent would place the children in an orphanage for care.
One of the objectives of Haitian orphanages is to provide a safe place for children, because otherwise, poor Haitian parents will give these children to better-off Haitians, who then treat them as slaves. Orphanages are a solution to this problem.
