Evangelical Christians Running Orphanage in Haiti Murdered – Time to Shut Down Orphanages in Haiti’s Lucrative Child Trafficking Business?
In a tragic story that made headline news this past week, three leaders of a Haitian Orphanage were reportedly murdered by gangs in Haiti. Davy Lloyd, age 23, and his wife Natalie Lloyd, 21, were the American leaders of the orphanage who were killed, as well as Pastor Jude Montis, age 45, who was the Haitian director of the orphanage of Missions in Haiti, Inc., an American non-profit corporation started by Davy's parents in 2001, who are the directors of the corporation. This story has been extensively covered in the corporate media with very little derivation from the original AP story that reported the incident. We really do not know the story that is behind these murders, as the deceased are portrayed as innocent victims of random gang violence in Haiti, which is reportedly common these days. And while that is probably true, it ignores the larger issue of the presence of Christian orphanages in Haiti that have been shown in the past to be part of the huge child trafficking network operating out of Haiti. In my research of Missions in Haiti, Inc., which is headquartered in Oklahoma, I could find no evidence of any known intentional child trafficking operating out of their business. However, it is widely known that such Christian organizations have been used in the past to traffick children. Much of this was revealed back in 2010, just after a massive earthquake hit Haiti, when Evangelical Christian Laura Silsby along with American Baptist missionaries from Idaho tried to traffick 33 children out of Haiti, claiming they were “orphans.” They were also working with the Clinton Foundation. Since this time, some organizations have begun to investigate the 30,000 + children living in orphanages in Haiti, which they claim is a form of "child trafficking."
