January 9th, 2009 at 00:32:57 having been to haiti a few times, i have seen the extreme poverty. I have never seen anything in America that can compare to it. With the exception devastation after natural disasters. Go there and find out for yourself
January 9th, 2009 at 00:55:56 I used to work as a child restavek I hanged been molested in misery. God has gived me a vision to take care those children, I am trying working on a non-profit organization so I can help my beloved haiti. Haitians like me and others need to come together, forget about political and let take care our children because there are the future of Haiti. This system need to stop these kids have to go to school to become somebody tomorrow.
January 9th, 2009 at 01:18:55 bullshit report
January 9th, 2009 at 01:41:54 Sorry, I'm commenting Mr. lefonceur26's post.
January 9th, 2009 at 02:04:53 Nobody helped them? Surely not voluntarily, but compulsorily, yes. They always had the collonies to feed them... even "hardworking" US people had their slaves and also the natives (or were they killed?). If it were just a working problem, it would be easy. After seing this video, I got the sincere impression that the restavèks are just hardworkers. Wouln't you say so? So, why can't they have more positive expectations?
January 9th, 2009 at 02:27:52 I feel you. That's what I always say.
January 9th, 2009 at 02:50:51 The truth - Haiti's problems are endemic and deeply rooted that not one solution can solve all.On a broader scale the lack of communication and access to resources is the main cause of the human issues. The lack of a stable government to employ rules, and enforce regulations and stampede corruption is also futile. The country can rely only on fragmented non-profit organizations. In the end its only the children that hurt worse. Investors seek only their own benefit but it provides opportunity.
January 9th, 2009 at 03:13:50 Why are you insulting him? CaguasBorin is correct. We don't know what real poverty is.
January 9th, 2009 at 03:36:49 It is really sad to see that, unfortunately the government of those thirld world countries are so corrupt, they will not try to take that seriously.
January 9th, 2009 at 03:59:48 Good point.The thing is that, most of my fellow Haitians don't know what is good for the nation.They are too vicious to kill their own people for ''Dollars''.Haiti needs to open its door so that the tourists can go there.They need to stop the so-called dechoukay.They need to stop thinking about coming to the U.S instead of working. The idea about Living in the U.S makes everybody lazy.They need to work hard and stop waiting for the white man to do something b/c no body helped the white man
January 9th, 2009 at 04:22:47 The concept of an unable parent sending a child where life is expected to be better is not a bad idea per se;Many developed nations do this (orphan homes,etc)--but with the financial-social structural backing to make it a success. Haiti doesn't have this so things common in though times happen. Restavek shouldn't be equate to a system where people where considered chattel and nothing more It serves as a sort of moral cleansing to them. That's their implication. This I reject. can't fool me
January 9th, 2009 at 04:45:46 Don't try to make a parallel between slavery and social-economic hardship. The concept of an unable family sending a child to stay with someone, sometimes family member, where the child can have a better life is not the same as slavery. Granted most times the things don't pan out and the child is abused, but it's not slavery. Don't go there! The whole of Haiti is suffering.
January 9th, 2009 at 05:08:45 Empowering women can cut drastically the number of babies the women have, which means less mouth to worry about. Some might say this is not a solution, my answer is start the long term solution now and temporary solutions take themselves. Haiti is not the only problem, all sub-sahara Africans have similar problem, a peasant who hardly make it thru the day having more babies year after year. Solution is not food aid to these poor countries, its FAMILY PLANNING, FAMILY PLANNING, & FAMILY PLANNING.
January 9th, 2009 at 05:31:44 some of this comments are so ridiculous...i work as health educator and i am from haiti many of those people are from real rural communities and never even heard of birth control or condom and they don't have many otherways to have pleasure or leisure and many have sex with people to take care of themselves and end up being pregnant and go on to do it again to take care of the one they just got. and also not all the family treated those kids bad.
January 9th, 2009 at 05:54:43 Most of you are indeed morons; the children nor the parents are committing any crimes; the "foster parents" are... and to justify those monsters yourselves you are no different than a person justifying a child molester, rapist, or murderer
January 9th, 2009 at 06:17:42 if you cant take care of your kids, dont have any. PPL who make $80,000 a year dont even have half of childern as these ppl who are poor.
January 9th, 2009 at 06:40:41 i agree with you
January 9th, 2009 at 07:03:40 I'm doing a research project on this topic and it helped understand more about this.
January 9th, 2009 at 07:26:39 Very sad!
January 9th, 2009 at 07:49:38 All haiti needs is schools and investors.
January 9th, 2009 at 08:12:37 They aren't just having kids, they put them to work. It's an old process, and there's much more to it. Things can go wrong suddenly, though. Say a kid (of five) has a college fund, but is in a car crash and medical costs all the fund and then some. He or she is probably going to have to work a lot immediately and be more independent. Say the crops fail, then how can the kids be fed?
January 9th, 2009 at 08:35:36 Are you people that f__king dense? Birth control? They can't eat, but they have money for birth control? When you're dirt poor and have no hope for the future, there are a few simple pleasures in life, and one of them is f*$king. In their mind, they are actually doing a good deed. It's a twisted mentality, but it's rationalized quite easily. The idea is, they should be grateful. It's disgusting, and mind boggeling, but it really is a matter of perspective.
January 9th, 2009 at 08:58:35 But what about the feeling they must get when they realize "I traded having sex for one night for my child to be a slave?" Having sex is not worth your child becoming a slave. They have to think about their kids. If their kids think the same way their parents are when they become adults, the problem will only get worse.
January 9th, 2009 at 09:21:34 Who are the "they" that these kids work for? It's funny this "fair and balanced" documntary doesn't show these felons. Those "foster parents" need to be dragged out in the streets and beaten to death.
January 9th, 2009 at 09:44:33 six are you just a fucking idiot? Perhaps self control would avoid this. They only know about the culture they are in and believe in life.For all of the anti-abortion fanatics we soon will be a third world country ourselves. These people don't even have medicine to cure simple diseases and don't even know there is something called birth control never mind how to use it.
