Missionaries or kidnappers?

As per the link:

So this group of American missionaries were caught trying to leave the country of Haiti with 33 "orphans" without the proper paperwork. Turns out, many of these children were NOT orphans and had living parents. Some were told they were going on a "vacation". I read another article that stated these missionaries were seen handing out pamphlets about the wonderful life these kids could have in America (trying to convince parents to give up their kids for a "better life")
I don't know if these people are criminals, or just ignorant and actually believed taking kids from their parents was a good thing. Either way, I completely agree that they should face the judicial system in Haiti.
It is likely now that all adoptions from Haiti will cease to avoid anymore children with living parents from being adopted out.
What are you thoughts on this situation?
