These do-gooders are learning the hard way that going the extra mile trying to help can be an extremely bad idea.Converting the fine using the weekly Chad food bill the 40 million CFA francs (NZ$116,064 = US$89,780) for each of the 103 children involved, works out at : 262 weeks worth of food for a US family but a massive 72,992 weeks worth of food at the Aboubakar family's weekly food cost (Where is dad by the way?).
Extrapolating to account for each of the 103 poor victims of this heinous crime is 7,518,162 weeks of food for a Chadian family of 6 (or 7 ?). Put another way enough to pay for 1403 years worth for each pair of "duped parents" who handed over their children, assuming they eat the same as the Aboubakars.
Shame we don't have a french family to do a fair comparison. Better still we could invite the Zoe's Ark ers to adopt from NZ then snap them for kidnap/duping here (much more believable with their priors) then impose a fine based on pro rata'd weekly food consumption.
