It was a happy homecoming for the families of eight American missionaries who were being held in Haiti on child trafficking charges. Two from the original group of ten still remain in jail. The group of eight who were allowed to come back to the United States had to agree to go back to Haiti if it was so ordered by the judge. The eight also said that they were treated well while they were in jail and better than some suffering from the earthquake.
They declined to speak to reporters, but their attorney, Caleb Stegall, read a statement in which they said they were thankful to be home.
''We hope and pray that our release will allow everyone to focus again on the dire conditions that remain in Haiti. People are still suffering and lack basic necessities,'' the statement said, adding: ''For those whose cases have not been resolved, we will continue to pray for their safe return.''
