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.

I have no words.
I would like live to gut these criminals.
If Obie wins, our future could be very dark. (No pun intended)
Satanic. RIP.
Seal the Border!

God’s Chil’run running wild and free in their homeland.
You win the award for the most depressing post ever. That completely broke my heart. Completely!
May the Lord Bless that innocent child and give him eternal peace. Vaya con Dios, su Senor, mi nino.
May the Lord also bless his family.
Dios bendiga a todos ustedes y darle la paz en estos tiempos difíciles
Read and weep, this is coming to our country. This is the real threat to our country. Illegal immigration affects all aspects of our society. Overuse of our social services, free food, housing, medical, and education. The effects on our water and energy shortage. Identity theft. The depressing of wages and taking our jobs. Soaring crime. Kidnappings are already happening by the Mexican gangs in our country. Neither candidate will address this issue because they are both for amnesty and rewarding third world lawbreakers with a “path to citizenship”.
Thoughts and prayers out to that poor child and family.
Coming to a neighborhood near you...anyone hurts my 4 year old boy I will not rest until they die a painful death
And the Mexican crime wave can be sped up if the wrong man is elected. They are killing people down there for fun now.
And people wonder why God made hell.
“Coming to a neighborhood near you...anyone hurts my 4 year old boy I will not rest until they die a painful death”
Mine are 24 and 22, I still feel that way.
ahhh... diversity
I would gladly disembowel the scum that did this to an innocent child. More proof that evil does exist among us.
Tell me again there is no devil.
Horrible. You’re supposed to throw children in the dirty laundry basket to suffocate. Just ask Obama.
Your post is spot-on. This horrible crime will likely be repeated in America soon because both major party candidates are pro-illegal/anti-American and are for open borders.
And, any form of illegal alien amnesty takes jobs from Americans...while forcing Americans with jobs to pay higher taxes to fund social programs and prison funding to handle illegal aliens.
It is sad that the issue of illegal alienism was not a major factor in this election. Had the GOP ran a pro-American/anti-illegal candidate....Obama and the Dems would have no chance of winning. So many moderate Dems would have voted GOP because of this issue
Very sad what happened to this little boy, and God bless his family.
