The Stolen Generation(s)

Back in November, I commented on the news about the attempted kidnapping of a group of Chadian children by a French "humanitarian" organization for the purpose of adoption: They Don't Need Your Help, Zoe's Ark, Thank You Very Much.

Since then, I have heard and read about two other cases of people having been kidnapped, [sarcasm on] ostensibly for the purposes of saving them from their wretched Third World existences. Now that these two people are adults, they have eloquently stated their cases against the abductors and their enablers, thus turning upside down the commonplace, Westernized argument that no matter what dubious means are used to "rescue" kids from manmade or natural crises, saving them from a [unknown] life of cruelty and torment is well worth it.

Actions without consequences do not exist. These two women are testament to that fact.


Adoptee Sues Parents for Kidnapping

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Feb. 19) - A 30-year-old woman is suing her adoptive parents for kidnapping in a case that opened in an Argentine court Tuesday, becoming the first child of disappeared political prisoners to press such charges.
