Haiti detains Americans taking kids across border
Baptists arrested for
taking kids out of
Haiti without permit
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP)
- Ten U.S. Baptists detained try-
ing to take 33 children out of,
earthquake-shattered Haiti with-
out government permission say
they were just trying to do the
right thing, applying Christian
principles to save Haitian chil-
dren.
But their "Orphan Rescue Mis-
sion" is striking nerves in a coun-
try that has long suffered from
child trafficking and foreign inter-
ventions, and where much of the
aid is delivered in ways that chal-
lenge Haiti's own rich religious
traditions.
Prime Minister Max Bellerive
yesterday told The Associated
Press that the group was arrested
and is under judicial investigation
"because it is illegal trafficking
of children and we won't accept
that."
The Americans are the first
people to be arrested since the Jan
12 quake on such suspicions.
The government and estab-
lished child welfare agencies are
trying to slow Haitian adoptions
amid fears that parentless or lost
children are more vulnerable
than ever to being seized and sold.
Without proper documents and
concerted efforts to track down
their parents, they could be forev-
er separated from family members
able and willing to care for them.
Bellerive's personal authorization
is now required for the departure
of any child.
The orphanage where the chil-
dren were later taken said some of
the kids have living parents, who
were apparently told the children
were going on a holiday from the
post-quake misery.
The church group's own mis-
sion statement said it planned to
spend only hours in the devas-
tated capital, quickly identifying
children without immediate fam-
ilies and busing them to a rented
hotel in the Dominican Republic
without bothering to get permis-
sion from the Haitian govern-
ment.
Whatever their intentions,
other child welfare organizations
in Haiti said the plan was foolish
at best.
"The instinct to swoop in and
rescue children may be a natural
impulse but it cannot be the solu-
tion for the tens of thousands of
children left vulnerable by the
Haiti earthquake," said Deb Barry,
a protection expert at Save the
Children, which wants a morato-
rium on new adoptions. "The pos-
sibility of a child being scooped up
and mistakenly labeled an orphan
in the chaotic aftermath of the
disaster is incredibly high."

Help us study strategies for preventing influenza
The University of Michigan School of Public Health is enrolling students living in
esidence halls in a research study to see how well influenza (1) vaccines and other
strategies work in reducing the risk of influenza illness in university residence halls.
Participants will be asked to complete two surveys, one at enrolment and one in Spring
2010. Participants are also asked to report any fiu-like respiratory illness. Ill persons will
ae invited to have a throat swab collected for laboratory testing. All participants will be
nvited to have a blood sample collected at the end of the influenza season to track
aandemic HiN1 infection.
You are eligible if:
* You are at least 18 years old
" You live in one of the following residence halls: Alice Lloyd, Stockwell, Markley,
Mosher-Jordan, or Couzens
Compensation: Participants are entered into n lottery for one of ten $100 cash cards for
each survey they complete. Participants will receive $10 for permitting collection of a
throat swab if they have a flu-like illness, and $20 for permitting collection of a blood
sample
