Tiny Pink sandals, a t shirt with the image of Tinkerbell, a
child`s jumper depicting Pokémon, trousers which would only fit a toddler, all
carefully removed from small bodies alongside adults. Mexico`s National
Commission for Missing Persons is posting these heartbreaking photo on line in
the hope that this and DNA matches might bring some closure to families of
those who`ve vanished.
More than 30,000 Mexican people have been officially
reported missing in Mexico`s ongoing Drug War. That`s not counting tens of
thousands of Central American Migrants who were crossing Mexico, but never made
it to the US Border. Victims of cartels who demand kidnap ransoms of those
caught join their ranks. The alternative is death and an unmarked grave.
