Haiti Child-smuggling Case--something about road to hell and good intentions?

From CBS, with commercial (sorry):



Regardless of whatever "good intentions" the American missionaries might have had in taking the children, it definitely was a stupid action. It's believed that most of the children were not orphans, and a recent story indicated that it was the parents of the children who had given them over in the hopes of giving them a better life. But in the midst of such chaos, and with the rampant opportunities for human trafficking by not-so-well-intentioned people, they really should have had second, third, and fourth thoughts before taking them. And sadly, it sounds like they've really gummed up the works for other people who were trying to do everything right.

It's a very sad thing.
