And the restavek system, for those of you who are unfamiliar with that, its a basically a system of fostering out children who then are working as child domestic servants, often abused, often exploited. They tend to age out because the Haitian law requires employers to pay domestic workers over the age of 15. And so one of the things that were concerned about and that we raised in the report last year was the notion that many of the street children whether its girls in prostitution, whether its boys engaged in crime, et cetera are basically restaveks who were disposed of by the families who had had them before. So thats that that notion of kind of the child domestic servant, often enslaved, usually given to the person because of promises that the child would be cared for, sent to school, et cetera. So thats one of the things that we are very concerned about is that as we rebuild, as we start to enter the rebuilding stage, that the child safety response is in place so that we dont see an even bigger increase in that restavek population.
