Bunch of criminal kidnapping MORONS. Those are the ones Brumstone is supporting, he claims. The ones who kidnap in "the name of Jesus". Thank goodness that particular group was caught. "Guess what? The foundation is neither a registered adoption agency with the state of Idaho nor an accredited international adoption agency. Yet the group members arrested at the Haitian-Dominican border claimed, directly contradicting their own site, that they had no plans to make the children available for adoption. Many of the children, according to published reports, were not orphans and, in any case, the group had no legal authority to remove them from the country. The Southern Baptist Convention, with which the Idaho church is affiliated, has a long history of experience in disaster relief. The members of the Idaho group, however, had no training in either the care of traumatized children or in facilitating legal adoption, and they had no right to designate themselves as the guardians of any young Haitians. (There is no evidence that professional relief administrators at the Southern Baptist Convention were ever consulted by the Idaho group.) What made these Idaho zealots do what they did without permission? God, of course. Laura Silsby, one of the moving spirits behind the botched "rescue," said, "We wanted to give them (the children) lives of joy and dignity in God's love." Their form of God's love, of course. And the way to do this, presumably, was to hightail it for the border, hoping that the illegality of the whole scheme would escape notice in the confusion. Silsby was warned by an experienced human rights worker that her group was risking arrest and went ahead anyway."
