Aid workers in Haiti say hundreds of thousands of children are at risk in the aftermath of the January 12 earthquake. The case of 33 children allegedly abducted by a group of Americans illustrates the plight of children separated from parents, and those whose families are living in desperate conditions.
　The circumstances remain murky surrounding the 33 children allegedly being smuggled out of the country by a group of American church members.  Aid officials say all were supposed orphans, but at least 20 were known to have living family members, in some cases parents.
　The Americans have been charged and the children have found refuge at a center run by the Austrian-based charity SOS Children's Villages International.  Charity official Georg Willeit says one infant was dangerously dehydrated, but all of the children are well now. "At least, they have here a safe haven.  They are sure of their daily meals.  They have friends to play with because they are integrated into our family houses," he said.
　While the children are here, they will join several hundred others, both orphans and displaced children, in day-to-day activities, including helping with chores and studying.
