How about if this were a boatload of children on their way to an International adoption agency? Private national and international adoption is, in essence, very much the same......except the children are worth more money. Because the child may be going to a "better" life and environment, does that change the elemental feature of slavery, of children for profit? Is the end result the mitigating circumstance?

Don't answer that. Just bear in mind that poverty is the enemy here........graft, payoffs, corruption in governments..........all stemming from the poverty brought about by...........?????
