On January 29, 2010, Silsby was arrested with nine other American

nationals attempting to steal 33 children from the country, most of

whom were not even orphans and had families according to some

reports. CNN reported on February 9, 2010 that this was not the first

time Silsby had attempted to traffic children out of Haiti. Haitian

police acting on a tip had intercepted Silsby in an earlier, separate

attempt to remove 40 children out of the country. She was turned

back at the Haitian border. For a brief period, Haitian authorities were

considering adding a new kidnapping charge based on this evidence.

Hillary and Bill Clinton took an extraordinary interest in Silsby’s case

from the moment she was arrested and almost immediately stepped

in on her behalf. The Harvard Human Rights Journal stated that one of

Bill Clinton's first acts as special envoy for the United Nations in Haiti

"was to put out the fire of a child abduction scandal involving

American citizens." On February 7th, 2010, The Sunday Times

reported that Bill Clinton had intervened to strike a deal with the

Haitian government, securing the release of all co-conspirators except

for Silsby. Prosecutors ultimately sought a six-month sentence in

Silsby's case, reducing charges for conspiracy and child abduction to

mere "arranging irregular travel." A shockingly light penalty given the

circumstances of her arrest, which would likely not have been

possible but for the intervention of the Clintons in Silsby's case.
