For Jean-Baptiste, who shares an adoptive mother from Montreal with sister Manousheka but has a different father, that new life involves leaving his home country.
With the earthquake, I lost all of my belongings, said the young man, adding that he lost his passport and other documents when his house collapsed. I want to find my mother in Canada. She lives in Montreal. She works a lot. She is a Canadian citizen. I want her to help me get out of here. Im dying of hunger. And I dont want to leave my half-sister in this country. She has forms but she cant fill them out. Maybe my mother will see me in the media. She comes back to Haiti every two years.
Rapes and prostitution have Jean-Baptiste fearing the worst for his 20-year-old sister, who, unlike her brother, doesnt speak French.
