A Troll In Defense Of Human Trafficking

Tonight, we accepted the referral of Luis Carlos, born New Year's Day at 9:40 pm to a twenty year old birth mother. He was 7.8 lbs and 19.7 inches long.

You are definitely going to be Charles Brayden, after your father. You are beautiful and ours--not to hold and love right now, but to pray for your safety and your future.

We love you already little one. Be warm and loved tonight. Sleep sweetly in Jesus.

The above is a comment from a profile connected to a comment that came to this site about this post. The post is about a kidnapped and trafficked Guatemalan child named Anyeli Rodriguez, whose return to her natural parents was ordered by Guatemala, despite the fact that a well-off couple in Missouri paid good money for her, and, no doubt, have every intention of getting their money's worth. While the comment sounds very warm, fuzzy, and cute, the reality of kidnapped, bought, and sold children is horrible. The comment came from someone who obviously defends Tim and Jennifer Monahan's unlawful actions of holding Anyeli against her will, and the complicity of the United States government, despite a court order from Guatemala for her return.

Adopted children often have little, if any family history for health records.  Testing for medical problems that are hereditary is often prohibited by insurance companies, unless the patient can prove a family history of the medical problem in question. Colon cancer can be diagnosed and treated, even in the absence of actual cancer, (yes...it almost happened to yours truly!) while celiac disease is simply not considered because of unnaturally inflated costs associated with testing for it. What's an adopted child to do? There are also a couple of types of anemia that are hereditary, and very serious. Unfortunately, plump Anglo-Saxon types, such as the Monahans, who continue to hold Anyeli hostage, cannot possibly have experience with them. Thalassemias are a group of anemia types that typically run in Mediterranean and Ashkenazi Jewish families. Once in awhile, the problem will be encountered in African bloodlines, as well. Sickle cell anemia runs in African bloodlines, and is not well understood and not expertly treated in the United States. A child trafficked from another country, from a misrepresented or unknown ancestry can present with symptoms that may never be properly diagnosed if the adoption of the child is black market. This is cruel, and as a physician, Tim Monahan should know better.

What about the parents, older siblings, and other family members of kidnapped children, such as Anyeli? Do they desrve no consideration? Americans often take the stance that black market adoptions involving foreign children are okay, despite their shady and unlawful nature, because upper middle class Americans typically have more money than poor, third world parents. Is this a reason to assume a parent does not love his or her child, and arbitrarily kidnap the child? Do money and middle class American, materialistic goals truly replace love, and a child's heritage?

To discuss the human trafficking aspect of this case, and to get to the real reason this bible thumping black market adoption supporter is truly scary, here is the comment, followed by two points to consider:"While you are certainly entitled to your opinion on the subject, maybe you should not reveal this child's personal information in such a public forum. This further compromises her situation, making her even more vulnerable-- and by extension, you and your community face further threat, which is one of your main concerns."

Why shouldn't we reveal Anyeli Rodgriguez's personal information? The Guatemalan government reveals her personal information. The only purpose that will be served by not revealing this child's personal information, and the personal information of every other known kidnapping victim is the safety of the perpetrators. Why would a bible thumper call for protection of human traffickers? And why do bible thumpers see fit to make the rest of the world more hostile to Americans by trafficking human beings? Remember Laura Silsby,  after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010? Americans seem to provide a market for trafficked children. Laura Silsby spent some time in a Haitian jail for her crimes, and when witnesses spoke out about what she was doing, the only people who were compromised by revealing the personal information of the children involved were Laura and her band of merry Christian human traffickers! As for Anyeli's situation, the United States seems vested, somehow, in allowing her captors to keep her from her family and her country. It's possible that she will have to read about her own case, or see a picture of herself on missing child posters. Of course, the people who bought her, the Monahans, could always opt to keep her from ever getting online or re-learning Spanish, her native language, until she is eighteen. How will she feel, as a young woman, if she meets her REAL mother, the one who searched and searched for years, never gave up, and cried her eyes out every night because her child had been stolen? Is that the kind of thing that instills loyalty in an adopted child bought from human traffickers? Think about it, christian adoptive parent. And don't buy your children from Kmart, or from anyone who circumvents the law.

 

Dr. Monahan Bought A Kidnapped Child And Won't Give Her Back

"I think you need to do some more reading. There is every reason to believe that the child in Missouri is NOT Loyda's missing daughter.".....This was in response to this post, concerning the black market purchase of a little girl from a shady Guatamalan human trafficking ring.

In 2008, a Missouri doctor named Timothy Monahan, and his wife, Jennifer, bought themselves a little girl in Guatamala from a group of black market thugs. This little girl, Anyeli Rodriguez, had been kidnapped from her biologiacl parents, and the police in Guatamala were looking for her everywhere. Her face was on missing persons posters all over her home country. Then, in 2010, little Anyeli was traced to the Monahans in Missouri, and DNA testing was carried out to confirm her identity. The child that the Monahans were in the process of whitewashing (she is Guatamalan) and calling "Karen", is, indeed, Anyeli. So the courts in Anyeli's country determined that this adoption was not legal, and that Anyeli must be returned to her natural parents. The only problem is........the Monahans are American, rich, and white, and have simply decided to ignore the court order from another country. Yep. Oh...they MUST be better parents......they are white Americans! They can naturally have anything they want, that money can buy; even other peoples' children. They also apparently bought themselves a court decision here in the United States that says they don't have to give the little girl back, because the Hague Convention did not have an agreement with Guatamala at the time Anyeli was kidnapped. That came two years later. And so they contend themselves to hold Anyeli hostage, lying to her about her own mother, while her own mother suffers. Trust me, Jennifer Monahan....it does not matter how much money your prisoner's true mother does or does not have; she loves Anyeli more than you ever will.

The comment also deals with reasons why Anyeli is not Loyda Rodriguez's child. Yet, no reasons are given. And the comment came from the same part of the country where Lisa Irwin disappeared, and where Anyeli is being held hostage by Dr. and Mrs. Monahan. It appears that a "finders keepers losers weepers" modicum has been applied in this case, leaving a tearful mother to pick up the pieces, advised by the good doctor and his wife to just forget about her baby! So I guess that's the biggest reason why Anyeli is not Loyda's baby, since the DNA states otherwise.

DNA matchups. Kidnapped kids. Finders keepers losers weepers. In an interview with the Monahans that took place in 2011 with CBS, after they ignored the court order and were declared in contempt of the court that ordered Anyeli back to her native country and to her parents, this is what Jennifer Monahan had to say to about DNA. Keep in mind, her husband is a doctor; they both know that DNA does not lie:

“We actually believe that DNA testing is a very important part of the process, but unfortunately in Guatemala, it’s the only part of the process that holds preeminence. And because they use property rights arguments to declare Karen, as we understand it, like DNA is sort of viewed as a title, and we strongly feel that Karen isn’t property … it’s very important that we know the whole truth, and not just DNA, and that that be done in a safe context.”

"They", to whom Jennifer refers are the Guatamalan government and court. And "They" have their own ways of wording their own laws, and governing their own citizens. That is not our affair. And Anyeli is one of "Them", not one of us. The Monahans' refusal to give Anyeli back not only robs her natural parents of the right to bring up their own child, but it sets the stage for Guatamala to respond in kind if and when a kidnapped American child is found in Guatamala. Does it sound like the good doctor and his wife care about that? No? Well......they are upper middle class white Americans with plenty of money. Why should they care about the safety of the rest of us? They have what they want; everyone else should just go away, especially Anyeli's natural mother. She played her part in the grand scheme of things......she had a beautiful baby girl, who got stolen from her and sold to the Monahans. It is no longer appropriate to say "adopted by the Monahans" because the Guatamalan court ruled that it was NOT an adoption. Since money exchanged hands, and the transaction was determined not to be an adoption, it is fair to say that Anyeli was bought.....by the very woman who "feels" that Anyeli isn't property. Oh! I keep forgetting; it's KAREN that isn't property. Anyeli, on the other hand, is a stolen, bought, and sold commodity.

Generally, DNA testing is done in a lab, in REALITY, not in a "context". Just what is Jennifer Monahan trying to say? She sounds very much to me like a woman who knows that what she is doing is very, very wrong, yet does not want to face it or admit it. This is one of the many faces of human trafficking, and Jennifer Monahan's latest novelty is a real mother's broken heart.

Lets Ask Mitt Romney About Human Trafficking

Okay, Mitt, you have a lot of money and corporate power and have openly stated that corporations are people. I differ with you on that, because corporations do not vote in our politics, and corporations can bought and sold. At this juncture in the American legal climate, it remains unlawful to buy, sell, or enslave a human being, and I would like to see that principle strengthened, rather than undermined. Here is a world map of known human trafficking issues. I think it is time, considering Mitt Romney's committment to corporate power and his church, (but no one else) to ask Mitt what he is willing to do to stop this worldwide problem, especially here, in the United States. I would also like to know what Mitt Romney is planning to do to free and assist those who have already become victims of human trafficking. As long as any part of the World's economy is based on human trafficking, from slavery to black market adoptions to sex and kiddie porn, I don't see the World's malaise getting any better.
