Priest Regino Martinez of Solidaridad Fronteriza says that the Haitian children who are regularly posted to beg from passing cars at key intersections in Santiago and Santo Domingo are part of an aggressive people-smuggling ring across the border with Haiti. The Jesuit priest says that the ring is very well organized and operates in several border communities. He says that from January to April this year, 1,353 children were trafficked to the DR from Haiti through the towns of Mellac, Fort Liberte and Ouanaminthe, among others.
Father Regino says that Migration, G2, J2, National Investigation Office (DNI), and the Border Security (CESFRONT) are the government bodies that should impede the trafficking of the children.
On occasion of the World Day Against Child Abuse, the priest called out for the Dominican and Haitian border authorities to implement real border control. "That corruption not be what determines who crosses the borders, that the authorities fulfill their control roles, both in the trafficking of children as well as adults," he said.
