Was missionary Laura Silsby in over her head?
There are new developments today involving the leader of a Baptist missionary group charged with kidnapping 33 Haitian children out of the country.
Laura Silsby didn't have experience running an orphanage, she didn't have papers necessary to cross the border legally, and it appears most of the children she had weren't orphans at all.
Was she in over her head? Our Dan Simon digs deeper.

These Idiots bring shame and disrespect to those groups that are truly trying to help kids around the world. Whatever punishment they get is well deserved!
The saddest thing about this affair is the lost look on the faces of some of this group in the background in contrast to the self-righteous certainty of Ms.Silsby. They say a lot about the influence of and dangers of folllowing charismatic, assured religious zealots.
