MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Kidnappers grabbed a 5-year-old boy from a gritty Mexico City street market, then killed him by injecting acid into his heart - a new low even for Mexico's brutal kidnapping gangs.

The boy, Javier Morena, was the oldest son of a poor family that sold fruit at a market in the tough neighborhood of Iztapalapa, proof that the plague of kidnappings for ransom afflicts the working class as well as the wealthy.

Javier disappeared while playing at the market on Sunday, Oct. 26, Mexico City authorities said on Monday. The boy's family spent days looking for him, finally persuading a local television station to post his picture on the news three days later.

A taxi driver recognized the boy, and went to the market to find the family. He told them that he had given the boy and a teenager a ride from the market to nearby Mexico state, and the teenager had told him the boy was crying because his younger brother had been stolen.

The driver dropped the two off a block from the police station, and the teen told him they were meeting the boy's mother there.

The family showed the driver a picture of their son. Also in the picture was a 17-year-old family friend, who the driver recognized as the alleged kidnapper.

The police raided the 17-year-old's home, and he and his family and two others confessed to having killed the boy before they could ask for a 300,000-peso ($23,000) ransom, Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said in a statement.

Mancera said the assailants injected the boy with acid and buried him on a hill outside the capital.

Five suspected kidnappers, including the 17-year-old, are under arrest. It was unclear if the group had carried out other kidnappings.

Javier was buried early Monday. Hours later, sitting in her home of cinderblock and corrugated tin, the boy's mother, Laura Vega, said she has no idea why the kidnappers targeted her family. But she said she felt they should face the death penalty, long banned in Mexico, and that they should "suffer the way my son suffered."

"He didn't have to die like that, far from his parents," she said, her eyes red and swollen from crying. "If he had to go to God, it shouldn't have been like that."

The child's death recalled the recent kidnapping and slaying of Fernando Marti, the 14-year-old son of a sporting goods magnate whose death prompted a national outcry against crime.

Young Marti's decomposing body was found in the trunk of a car even though his family reportedly paid a ransom. Prosecutors said a federal lawman was part of the gang that kidnapped Marti.

Outrage over that case prompted more than 100,000 people to march through Mexico City in August to demand an end to endemic police corruption and rising crime.

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.

"Keeping them alive only guarantees a hidden danger for the rest of society," wrote a man who identified himself as Eric Aguilar of Mexico City.

Mexico has one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, according to the anti-violence group IKV Pax Christi. Kidnappings are up 9 percent this year and average 65 per month nationwide, according to the federal Attorney General's Office, which blames a growing web of drug cartels, current and former police officers and informants who point out potentially lucrative victims.

Most kidnappings go unreported for fear of police involvement. The nonprofit Citizens' Institute for Crime Studies estimates the real kidnapping rate to be more than 500 per month.

thats nothing compared to drug smugglers who kill babies to stuff their stomachs with cocaine/heroin and walk across the border.

But child killers regardless need to be burned at the stake immediately without trial. Let them suffer hardcore.
 
I usually read Mexican articles regarding masscare, beheading, murders, hanging, and bodies found in the drums full of acid- It is absolutely disgusting. Two months ago, 24 bodies were found at La Marquesa park near DF (Mexico City) where my family and I used to hike and ride horses there all the time. Kidnapping is overwhelmingly high since Pres. Calderon was elected who promised to end the corruption. Additionally, a few drug cartels like Arellano-Felix, and his brother were captured. Other Drug cartels were given an opportunity to fight against each other over attempting to dominate smuggling routines and lands.

I'm a member of the Facebook. my Japanese-Mexican friend recently joined the Spanish speaking over 48,000 members group, ¡¡SOY MEXICANO Y ESTOY A FAVOR DE LA PENA DE MUERTE A LOS SECUESTRADORES!! (the translation is "I am Mexican and I am in favor of the capitial punishment to the kidnappers!!"). It's not the first time I was asked to join in those Spanish speaking groups who support the same cause. I chose to not join in any of those groups for personal reasons in regards to the incident in mexico- attempted murder, and kidnapping of my uncle. Mexicans want to push the gun rights for personal protection, and capital punishment for kidnappers demand the current Mexican constitution redrafted.

A wall won't fix it because it happens inside Mexico. The lure of money from selling drugs is great enough for them to find ways around, through, over or under any wall we put up.
