Haiti is plagued by crime and chaos in its streets, its homes, and even its government. Slavery, kidnapping, lack of security, lack of access to education and police brutality are widespread. Children are enslaved at extremely young ages. Already at the age of three, children are beaten, forced to do whatever is asked of them, not to ask for anything, to speak only when asked and not to show any emotion. They are forced to act like mindless robots and this becomes all they know since they are taken at such a young age. However, slavery is not limited to children only (www.mathaba.net/news/?x=622759). Anyone, of any age, can be a victim of slavery. In Haiti there is something called the “Restavek system,” a centuries-old system whereby poor families, mostly rural and unable to adequately provide for their children, send their children to live with richer or less poor families in exchange for food, shelter, education and a better life in exchange for the tasks performed as servants, (www.mathaba.net/news/?x=622759). Haiti's main religion is Catholicism and so the church is strongly against slavery, of course, but since there is no clear way to maintain order, it continues and all they can do is pray for a miracle to happen. Even after the 2010 earthquake, a riot of crime hit the streets of Port-Au-Prince when it was at its most vulnerable state. The Office of Diplomatic Security considers Port-au-Prince a "critical" location for crime. There are an estimated 35,000 American citizens in Haiti, most of them of Haitian descent. The most frequently reported crimes against Americans in Port-au-Prince are car thefts, kidnappings, and robberies. Home invasions also remain a problem. All this happened mostly in Cité Soleil, the illegal... in the center of the paper... Religious influence in Haiti does not and cannot play an important role in Haiti as things stand because there is no that's enough order for now. But the Church does not stand idly by. They still have some influence throughout the country and church takes place regularly every Sunday morning. Safe to say, it is at least the most respected event as there are little to no reports of crimes occurring regarding corruption in the church and priests and ministers do what they can to instill hope in the minds and hearts of the people. There are constant strikes in the streets to demand reforms and ask for attention and help. With the earthquake, although it was a horrendous experience and event due to loss of many lives etc., in a way, the call of many has been answered as there are some notable positive changes in the country following the destruction.
