Child trafficking

In January 2010, after a big earthquake, Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive confirmed child and organ trafficking:

CNN (Christiane Amanpour): "About the children.... tens of thousands of them, maybe hundreds of thousands, have been separated from their families. Many of them families dead, families lost, families moved out. What is being done to corral these children, to register them, to make sure no further harm comes to them?"

PM Jean-Max Bellerive: "It's one of the biggest problem that we have. And this morning, uh, during the coordination meeting in the international community, [I] address[ed] the question of the adoption, because I have a lot of petitions for that. But they have to be very ... cautious, because there is a lot of trafficking in that."

CNN: "Illegal child trafficking."

PM: "Yeah. Uh, even if, uh, it seems to be legal. But a lot of organizations, they come and say 'There were children on the streets. We are going to bring them to the states.' And we have already reports of lot of trafficking, even of organ trafficking. "

CNN: "Of organ trafficking? Now?"

PM: "Now. Already."

CNN: "Of the victims of the earthquake?  Do you know that for sure?"

PM: "Yeah, I know that for sure. And it was discussed inMontreal during the conference."

CNN: "And do you know for sure that children are being trafficked?"

PM: "Now there is, uh, children trafficking for children and adult person also because they need all type of organs."

CNN: "No, but I mean live children. Are they being trafficked?"

PM: "Now, the report I Recieved, [Yes]"[1]
