Another article with new info, from the preliminary hearing that was held yesterday:

“Haiti judge quizzes US missionaries over child case”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8494841.stm

I love this part: “Ms Silsby said her group had met a Haitian pastor by chance when they arrived last week, and that he had helped them gather the children.”

So she just met this guy “by chance”, asked him to round up a bunch of children for her to take out of the country, and she really believed it was perfectly okay to just take his word for it that they were orphans and that it was perfectly legal to take them out of the country with no paperwork other than a handwritten note from this guy she’d just met by chance. Suuuurrrrrrre she believed this was all perfectly legitimate.

Keep in mind that this woman has a college degree in business, and worked for Hewlett-Packard for a number of years before starting up her own internet “personal shopper” business, that apparently had formal contracts with some major brands. This is no naive, uneducated housewife from Idaho who just wanted to help the poor Haitian children and had no idea there would be legal hurdles that needed to be cleared.

LOL GS, you keep nailing this woman.

I still would love to see a copy of the “permission slip” she obtained from the DR government to bring undocumented children into the Country. lol
