Were the abductors really all evil wrongdoers? Note the weasel words in the article "victims of abuse, sex trafficking or other forms of exploitation". That "or" means none of them may have been abused or sexually exploited. If anything, the fact they don't get specific about any crimes perpetrated against these children and instead bring up some unrelated child abduction and murder from 1983 suggests many if not all of these children were abducted by their own fathers after getting screwed over in court. If your crazy and vindictive ex was trying to transition your little boy and you felt you had no other recourse but to grab the kid and make a run for the border, would you do it? Most decent people would which is why they don't mention that part in these abduction stories. Beware fake and manipulative news stories - especially when it comes to stories you want to believe.
