The media succeeded once again to sweep everyone's attention over to the affairs of Christian missionaries and now continuously do so by carrying it onto their lawyer. How did they do that? just like they always have by using trendy words like child trafficking or human trafficking. For the past few days, google's number one news on human trafficking has not been an article about human trafficking victims but whether an El Salvadoran man was a trafficker or not. Though the matter seems important enough, it does not have the merits to deserve our full attentions to distract us from focusing on Haitian victims and their future. The investigation will go on whether we give our attention or not. But, the victims will eventually be left abandoned if we don't give enough attention to their issues.

There was no child trafficking case for the missionaries from the beginning

Prior to the earth quake, 300, 000 children were enslaved in Haiti, but the mass media is more interested in Lindsay Lohan's trip to India than Haitian children living in slavery. Now, the attention is on to the American missionaries and their lawyer. The problem is, the lawyer is gonna be investigated whether we pay attention or not. But if you stop paying attention to the Haitians, especially the children, they will be left abandoned eventually when this madness and humanitarian assistance stop.
