WN: EXCLUSIVE: 'Radically different' story emerges about Bapt

[just_abc]

I do not know the latest news regarding the children.

But I am thinking that the group could have helped the children without breaking the laws of the country that they were in? Perhaps even helped the children while letting them stay in / near the families ? Or at least in the same country?

I mean no offence. But I don't understand why the group did what they did and in the way they did it.

If a Christian group from my country went to the USA ....wouldn't they be expected to obey the laws and rules in the USA? And if they didn't ..even if it was out of ignorance..wouldn't it be normal for them to have to face the consequences? Perhaps even being deported or even jailed ?

Perhaps I am mistaken ....but I am wondering if perhaps the group might have just trusted strangers that they met on the street / in their bus etc? I think trusting strangers can be risky at times. Sometimes strangers are sincere in wanting to help AND are knowledgeble. Sometimes strangers are sincere in wanting to help but they might not be knowledgeble in a certain issue ..or mistakenly give outdated or wrong advice. Sometimes strangers can offer to help but they might also have their own hidden agenda. It can be risky at times to simply trust the advice of strangers that one just meets on the street etc. Especially if it is for something as major as custody of young children and taking them across an international / national border....

Also some of the things that I have difficulties in understanding :

1. Why didn't they try to help the children inside the country instead of trying to take them to a foreign country? It was an earthquake ..not war. And there were already aid groups possibly even the USA military in the country. Why didn't the group set up a shelter for children inside the country?

2. Why did they not ensure that they had all the documents that might be needed {and verified by middle / high ranking immigration officers etc} ....BEFORE ...they collected the children and put them on the bus to take to the border?

3. If they were confused about exactly what was needed or if the rules had changed etc....couldn't they have waited first to verify it properly? And if they were still confused could they not have also asked for advice from the USA embassy either in that country or the neighbouring country?....or the USA State Department perhaps? Or perhaps international organisations such as the Red Cross? And if so - did they?

Sorry for the long post. I do not mean any offence to anyone. A lot of things in this case are puzzling to me.
