There is no dispute about the fact that the missionaries had parental permission, so it comes down to trusting the Haitian government's judgment or the missionaries.

Haiti is a cesspool of corruption and evil and self induced poverty. It is the worst place on earth by such a wide margin, that whatever the second worst place is is a paradise by comparison. I'd trust the judgment of a group of flaky do-gooders from the second worst country on earth over the judgment of the Haitian government, which has no problem with 300,000 children being enslaved by fellow Haitians.
