Additionally the tens of thousands of orphans impacted by the disaster were not given schools and homes as promised. Instead they became one of the largest targets of child traffickers in the world. In fact, on January 29, 2010 (only 7 days after the celebrity riddled telethon) Clinton friend Laura Silsby was arrested at the Haitian border with 9 other co conspirators for attempting to smuggle 33 children out of the country without documentation. CNN later reported this was not the first time Silsby attempted to traffic children out of Haiti. The Clintons intervened immediately. Bill Clinton brokered a deal to get 8 of the other traffickers released. Silsby received a lessened sentence of 6 months jail time. Once she returned to the states Laura Silsby changed her name to Laura Gayler and now works for Alert Sense, a company in coordination with the Amber Alert system. In February of the same year, Silsbys lawyer Jorge Puello and his wife, were arrested on the suspicion of leading an international human trafficking ring involving women and minors. He was sentenced to a light sentence of 3 years in federal prison.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this. So the woman who was convicted of trying to smuggle children out of Haiti now works for a company connected with the Amber Alert system???

It's like hiring a fat person to guard your cake.
