Search for missing 2-year-old boy revealed a house where 23 abducted children were held and forced to sell things on the street
Juana Perez, whose 2 1/2 year-old son Dylan is missing, speaks with the press outside of the presidential palace in an attempt to meet with President Manuel Andres Lopez Obrador in Mexico City, Wednesday, July 22, 2020.A scandal involving the abduction and exploitation of young children in a colonial Mexican city popular with tourists widened Wednesday when prosecutors released additional evidence that an adult apparently used other children to help kidnap a missing 2-year-old boy.
In photos from cameras, the boy and the girl enter the public market where Dylan’s mother worked in the colonial city. Dylan appears to follow the boy, and then the girl takes Dylan by the back of the jacket and walks out of the market with him. The girl is later seen returning alone, apparently having handed the missing boy over to someone else.
“Moreover, they were forced to return with a certain minimum amount of money for the right to get food and a place to sleep at the house,” Llaven said. But few visitors to the city suspected that some of the kids doing the selling had been snatched from their families.
