Dateline goes undercover to buy a child
Dateline aired an episode on Tuesday inspired by E. Benjamin Skinner’s book, A Crime So Monstrous: Face to Face with Modern-Day Slavery.
Dan Harris’ “How to Buy a Child in 10 Hours” follows the same path Skinner took in his book in going from Manhattan to Haiti to purchase a child slave, or restavek. The two experiences of attempting to buy children are almost identical, which just reinforces Skinner’s point of how easy it is.
