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.

Telephone Tag With A'Kiera Burrell Sledge
At least Iyonna Burrell knows her daughter was alive on Christmas. A'kiera has been missing since the last week of November. She does not wish to live at Crittenden anymore. Missouri will not allow her to live with her mother, and as of late, will not even allow her mother to advocate for her while she is a missing child. Missouri was not making any efforts in improving communication between mother and daughter, and it appears that Crittenden just wanted to make sure that A'kiera was not reported missing too close to the middle of the month, lest they lose the funding for A'kiera's enrollment in their program. Or something like that. Any time stamped video footage of A'kiera leaving the facility might mean Crittenden would owe the insurance company or the state a prorated refund. The only other reasons for discouraging communication between A'kiera and family members and for withholding the surveillance footage are much more sinister.
Right now, A'kiera needs her mother more than she needs anything. The state of Missouri needs to realize it's failure in this case, and either return A'kiera to her mother or find a family member or friend who can keep A'kiera until communication and balance can be established. Telling Iyonna not to parent is one and the same as telling A'kiera she can't have a mother, at this point; and that is morally repugnant. Why can't there be an advocate, or legal counsel, for A'kiera? If there was, how would she know who to contact, and who to trust? If someone can answer those questions for her, she might place another phone call to her mom.
Cat v. Christmas Tree
And now, for the final destination and molestation of the innocent tree in the living room!

Oh stuff a sock in it, McQuade! You don't know anything more about what happened to Kyron than Kiara does!
You know exactly who you are. And you also know that you have an insatiable interest in this case, particularly in probing facts and fantasies that have not been speculated or published by law enforcement. You do this, in fact, so much that you actually impair the chances of this case being solved. No missing child deserves that.
I am curious, you smelly, lazy, mooching creature; just how do you know which posters on the internet know something about what happened to Kyron and which posters don't? Don't you think it's time to become productive and SHARE that knowledge with law enforcement? As you do not have any children, you have no idea what it is to parent, and be responsible for a family, so what is your interest in this case, anyway? Blackmail? Did you see something and decide to use it to scare someone into paying you a stipend for the next few years? It's beginning to look that way to me, because your counterproductive rants really do nothing besides put Kyron in greater danger, should he still be alive, and break the hearts of family members even more. I think you should stfu.
Your dumbass cryptic message to me about black cadillacs really looked like a threat. No one's gonna pay you for anything until you get a job. Stop taking up space in emergency shelters that is meant for people who've been affected by emergencies.
This is Kyron Horman. On the left is how he looked at age seven, when he disappeared from his school in Portland Oregon, in June of 2010. The next to pictures are age progressions. If anyone knows anything about this case that could bring Kyron home, please call the numbers under his pictures.
