• Most stories and news about Haiti are told by foreign people, precisely from the U.S., are constantly purported and spurious in way to make their stories sound interesting, to best fit the U.S. interests. , so that's how the story about restavek = slave, and also crime, kidnapping, etc, have become reality in many people's mind who live outside of Haiti.
• I also beleive another reason they keep reporting those pretending stories is to play in the poor Haitian people mind to keep them down and fears. Fear to the point that they will not feel comfortable to go back home. Fear so that they can't fight for their rights in the U.S. http://www.n1hc.com/6/post/2010/07/no-slaves-children-in-haiti-do-you-know-the-meaning-of-slave.html
