Did you know that over 50% of Haiti’s

population is younger than 16 years old..

What will happen to these new orphans, when added to the astronomical 350,000. already listed as orphans in Haiti ?  this is a question that is very close to my heart as a mother, an adoptee; and an orphan now that my parents have both passed away.

you cannot remove the children from Haiti without a search for some of their family, before declaring them orphans. it just makes me wonder about the safety of the children; and the reunification possibilities.  watch this video and then think of what a terribly perplexing situation this is for everyone involved.

Who is Speaking FOR The Children of Haiti ?

We read this story and were so pissed. Many Liberians who come to america often try to become more American; than those who are born in america. no doubt someone will criticize me for saying that – but criticize these parents first for Abandoning Their Eight Year Old Crime Victim; who will grow up into a very confused woman thanks to their lack of good sense.

Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has said that the family needs counseling to help them understand how they are failing their child. why should a parent be allowed to have any contact with a child, when they abandon the child; after that innocent child has been victimized in the most horrible way.

Personally speaking, these parents need the literal stuffiing beat out of them for this; and then their child needs to be given as much counseling as she needs to recover – along with them.

A Child of Eight can never understand how to overcome the ignorance of adults; and mean almost adults.  When Will We Overcome Our Lack of Sensitivity and start moving toward a more humanistic society.

God Help These Stupid Parents and the Bad Boys who did this crime. Mostly God help the Little Girl who is the victim of Every one of them.

BBC NEWS | Americas | Outcry over disowned US rape girl.

Offers of help are pouring in for an eight-year-old Liberian girl disowned by her own family in Phoenix, Arizona, after being raped by four boys.

The girl is under the care of the Arizona Child Protective Service (CPS) because her parents said she had shamed them, and they did not want her back.

Phoenix police said calls had come in from all over the US offering money, or even to adopt the young girl.

The boys, Liberian immigrants aged nine to 14, have been charged with rape.

The case has sparked outrage across the US and even drawn condemnation from Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, an outspoken anti-rape campaigner.

“I think that family is wrong. They should help that child who has been traumatised,” Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf told CNN.

“They too need serious counselling because clearly they are doing something, something that is no longer acceptable in our society here,” she added.

Brutal attack

Media reports said the girl was lured into a shed on 16 July with promises of chewing gum by the four young boys.

There, they held her down and took turns assaulting her for 10 to 15 minutes, before her screams alerted officers nearby.

The oldest suspect, a 14-year-old boy, will be tried as an adult on charges of kidnapping and sexual assault, police said on Friday. He is being held in police custody until trial.

The other three – aged 9, 10, and 13 – are charged as juveniles with sexual assault and kidnapping.

But the police said no charges will be filed against the parents.

“They didn’t abandon the child,” Phoenix police sergeant Andy Hill told AFP news agency. “They committed no crime. They just didn’t support the child, which led to CPS coming over there.”

Sgt Hill said people from eight or nine US states had called wanting to adopt the girl or donate money.

“It has been unbelievably fantastic in terms of support for the child,” he said.
