Laura Silsby trafficked children with the agreement of their parents to have them adopted in the USA. That is key. She was not sentenced for trafficking with any implication of sexual abuse going on. She tried to undergo the system to improve the situation of both the children's families and the children. The implication with almost every Laura Silsby post here is the exact opposite.
"The parents gave their consent to the missionaries to take their children
under the impression that Silsby and her group were providing shelter and
education; the parents’ understanding was not that they were permanently
parting with their children. Contrary to the parents’ expectations, Silsby’s
express intent—according to her online action plan—was to place the children
for adoption."
