Only in largely, unparalleled incompetent, uncivilized and criminal Haiti an 11-year-old boy, for example, finds himself behind bars. In the civilized world the Department of Social Services, rather, is the mandated government's agency to care for him when there is a need for so. Sure the extreme violence-issued Preval's government is practizing "gross child abuse." It is time for Human rigths groups to act.
