kidnapped mexican boy killed with acid

[Amby 490]

MEXICO CITY - Kidnappers killed a 5-year-old boy by injecting him with acid after his family sought police help — a new low even for Mexico's brutal kidnapping gangs.

Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said Monday that assailants injected the acid into the boy's heart and buried him on a hill outside the capital — a death that showed the plague of kidnappings for ransom afflicts the working class as well as the wealthy.

A kidnapper seized the child at a street market in the gritty borough of Iztapalapa on Oct. 26 and the boy was killed three days later, Mancera's office said in a statement.

Prosecutors said kidnapper hailed a taxi to carry the child to a house in neighboring Mexico State. The taxi driver later saw the boy's image on a television announcement seeking information on the kidnapping and returned to the market to alert the child's parents.

Word to the wise - maintain adequate supervision over your small children when going to the market.

These kidnappers needs to be punished, my style.

OMG... poor child.

But apparently the country's southern borders should be open for any to enter right.

"On Monday, dozens of people left messages on Reforma's Web site expressing outrage at the 5-year-old's death. Some called for Mexico to reinstate capital punishment.

"They should definitely give the death penalty to these people, who have no conscience," wrote a man who identified himself as Eric Aguilar of Mexico City. "Keeping them alive only guarantees a hidden danger for the rest of society."

Capital punishment is wrong but injecting a kid with acid isn't bad enough to warrant the death penalty? Mexico is so much more civilized than Gringoland.

Don't know where you're trying to go with the statement. The child is not going to return.

Man, if you cannot have some compassion for the child's family, why don't you just abstain to post nasty stuff. where do you get off?

Seriously, get a brain.

What's the correlation between the border and a child killed in Mexico City?

Neither do executed criminals.

You could care less about the victim or the family. You're one of the last posters to lecture anyone about good taste. Better post your ####### in the expat forum where you belong.
