Morelos: :Boy survives after being left for dead with father's body

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat republished from CNN


By the time he was found, the boy was barely alive. The ten-year-old's neck had been cut, leaving a nearly 3-inch (7cm) wound. Disturbing photos taken by the authorities who found him and obtained by CNN show the boy in jeans, a US football sweatshirt and a light jacket, lying in the curve of his dead father's arm.

The travelers were Guatemalan, according to President of the Morelos State Human Rights Commission Raúl Hernández. The boy, Cristian, and his father Rudy, 37, left from Guatemala on May 28 this year. Cristian's uncle and teenage cousin were also on the trip. In total, it was a small group: Two brothers traveling together, each bringing a son.

They had hired a smuggler in Guatemala that would take them all the way to the United States, but the smuggler abandoned them in Mexico, Hernández said, where they were kidnapped.

Their kidnappers were members of Los Zetas drug cartel, according to Morelos State Secretary of Interior Pablo Ojeda Cardenas. They allegedly called their victims' relatives in the United States, demanding a ransom of $12,000, he said. The family was able to send $8,000, but didn't hear back from the kidnappers.

A few days later, on July 6, Cristian and his father were found lying on the side of a dirt road in Morelos state, left for dead. The man's throat had been slit, but his son was still breathing.

Authorities later said that the uncle and cousin managed to escape, and are now in the care of Mexican authorities, according to a spokesman for the Morelos Governor's Office.

Cristian was taken to a hospital in the city of Cuatla, where he is getting psychological treatment, in addition to medical care. He "[...] underwent surgery and is currently in good health," the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry said.

Migrants traveling through Mexico are routinely the victims of crimes that range from theft and extortion to rape and murder. [12k disappear each year]


In 2010, the bodies of 72 migrants, 58 men and 14 women [BB archive foto above], were discovered in a mass grave in northeast Mexico. Mexican authorities said then they believed most of the victims were from Honduras and El Salvador, although some came from as far away as Ecuador and Brazil. The mass grave was discovered about 14 miles (22 kilometers) from the town of San Fernando in Tamaulipas state, near the border with Texas.


Los Zetas has long been feared by Central American migrants traveling through Mexico, and was originally composed of a group of former Mexican elite forces that acted as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel.

In the mid-2000s, they splintered to form their own drug trafficking criminal enterprise in the mid-2000s, but have since branched out into multiple criminal activities. Kidnapping for ransom, security analysts say, seems to have become one of their specialties.

Guatemala's Foreign Ministry has issued a statement expressing condolences to Cristian's family [above] and promising to pay for all costs related to the repatriation of his father's body.

    1. Yes zetas are very scum pero this was not zetas in Morelos and the gob know this. It maybe is CJNG, Mayas o Rojos but zetas no. I have good reason to belief we will see the public death of the children killers very soon en Morelos.

    4. Human trafficking could have nothing to do with drug trafficking, both could be different specialties of the same cartel.
      Morelos liberated itself of Jesus Alberto Capella Ibarra and about 20 dedicated team members when he left for Quintana Roo, but he left behind in Morelos a whole team of greedy criminals with a whole bunch of innovations in crime; right before him, Julian Leyzaola was in charge of state public security, after his crimes against humanity in Tijuana, and before he left for Cd Juarez to do more of the same, which reflects his murdering military ways, Capella is not military, but wants to be on his own fascist style.

    1. Blaming some zetas nobody saw is real easy,
      Zetas in Morelos State is some big news, they barely exist on their own turf northeast of mexico.
      The coyote could just be misleading some worthy targets for kidnapping for ransom, and central Americans should be made aware, before they borrow to get abandoned or kidnapped in Mexico which has become part of the business of punishing immigrants to deter them from coming to the US, same as happened to the San Fernando victims, they were giving the Obama administration a very hard time with the opposition that also benefitted from catching and housing illegals in their private for profit prisons, a big reason for enticing illegals to come over and same big reason to stop them, money all over in the business...
      The present administration has extorted 4.5 billion dollars for toothpaste and toothbrushes and soap for the filthy prisoners they keep in their dog houses for profit, but they keep looking for a more permanent solution... HITLER had a final solution, railroad trains to provide his victims one lasting shower, the Poison Gases never missed their targets.
      --It would have been so easy to provide security and education in their own central American countries, instead of financing armies that degenerated into terrorist arms of the state in their own Banana Republics all over LatinAmerica.

    1. sadly I have no sources in Morelos. and I trust no one I don't know. That is why I personally worked our family foundation and oversee each penny spent.

      maybe someone else has an idea we can implement. My heart breaks looking aat the foto.

      as sad as the foto of the father and toddler who drown this is worse. in the drowsing case it was flooded in the streets of northern mex especially tamps from torrential rains. that is why the current was so swift.

      the mother said to meican press on the first day that SHE had the baby and the baby slipped from her grip because of current and the father went after the baby and they drowned. the story changed later but those were words from her mouth the first day. there were warning signs all over about the flooding and current. but they decided it was their best chance.

      in this case this is horrific on every level one can imagine. I have worked with the kids who witness horror, they are never, ever the same. like ptsd times 100

      Chivis. This was especially horrific and beyond sad. It broke my heart seeing this barely alive 10 year old...laying next to his murdered father. I don't have a clue as to stop the violence but I can pray for the innocents who are murdered/ injured every day in Mexico. Thanks Chivis. Peace.

I'm not sure exactly what information would be necessary. I'm guessing at least his full name. I would like to do something to help this poor kid. If anyone has any information or knowledge they would like to share concerning the creation of a petition please let me know. I would appreciate it.

    1. 1:10 and who would be those involved?
      There is a chance even the killers do not approve of it, but silencing witnesses is sometimes very necessary, it could change if there were rewards for delivering captives alive, or work opportunities, after all the Mexican farmers got sold down the river by a Mexican government that needed NAFTA because they got paid for it and did not care about Mexico or Mexicans.

      Delete
    2. Are you trying to justify the murder of innocent people by referencing NAFTA? You say sometimes it's necessary to murder a child because sometimes witnesses need to be silenced? Things could be changed if there were rewards for delivering captives alive? You mean like the $8000 these kidnappers were paid to do just that? You are the single stupidest son of a bitch I have ever seen post on this site. And you're an amoral piece of shit on top of it. Do everyone a favor and keep the borderline retarded thoughts swirling around in that cesspool of a brain there where they belong. Don't overexert yourself typing or using the computer. Just focus on feeding yourself without making a mess and wiping your own ass without getting poop all over the place. I'm sure those challenges are more than enough to keep you occupied.

  9. Another heartless cartel, all they want to do is squeeze every little dollar, from the lives of innocent people going by. Their intention once they received the ransom money, was to kill them. That's why I insist kill cartel members on the spot.

      migrants usually have money waiting with family as most get the call from zetas to send money or else. 12k is a high amount, it is usually 5 to 8

    3. I agree with you my friend. It's incredibly sad and disgusting. I just don't understand how someone could do this to a completely innocent child. Why not let them live? Why this senseless destruction of humanity. To leave a dying child in his dead father's arms because $8000 wasn't quite enough? These inhuman pieces of shit didn't each get a big enough cut of the money to buy their meth and Buchanans for the weekend? To buy a Hermes belt and an ugly fucking watch to post on Instagram and impress some narco-skank with a big dumpy plastic ass? I hope the people who did this get caught by another cartel and they are killed slowly. I hope they peel off their faces before they cut out their hearts. If there is anything like justice in this world the people who did this will die screaming. Yet their pure physical suffering wouldn't equate to the soul crushing experience of watching his father murdered that they put this poor child through. Their loved ones would need to be killed before their eyes before things were actually square. But I will not wish the death of innocent loved ones even on these people who are so deserving of that pain. Would these mentally defected psychopaths even care? I doubt they have the capacity to care about anyone. I suppose a life without the ability to feel love is its own special kind of hell. Yet incredibly far from the type of hell I would inflict upon them if I had the power. The staggering amount of psychopaths and sociopaths in Mexico boggles my mind. Is what's happening there with such frequency an accurate portrayal of our society as a whole? Is this what happens when laws are no longer upheld? Are so many members of the human race this inherently flawed? I refuse to believe that Mexico breeds a disproportionate number of morally bankrupt individuals compared to the rest of the world. If Mexico is an accurate portrayal of the state of humanity once the threat of punishment is removed the implications for society are both terrifying and heartbreaking. We've evolved into something worse than animals. Almost all animals only kill out of necessity for survival. Only humans kill for such pathetic and selfish reasons and with such unnecessary levels of brutality. The only consolation I can find is knowing that the good people of this world far outnumber the monsters. And for every innocent they kill turn that person's family and friends into their bitter enemies. Each murder strikes fear in the population just as they intend, but in that handful of loved ones fear is replaced by a driving hatred that is far more powerful. Someday there will be a reckoning when the righteous have had enough and the good people band together. When they've killed enough innocents that the scales tip and and the vengeful far outnumber the fearful and the dead. When that happens their vests and armored SUV's won't save them. After they've spent every bullet in their arsenals the righteous and furious will still be pouring in through their doors and windows to demand they pay the debt of justice with their lives. And like the hands of an angry God the decent people of this world will deliver all the pain and suffering the evil have worked so hard to earn. That is what it's going to take to end all of this once and for all. The police can't stop them and the Marines can't stop them. Even if drug consumption completely disappeared these people wouldn't change. They would just ramp up their kidnapping and extortion rackets. This scum is completely dedicated to making money off the suffering of others. The only thing that can put an end to all of this is us. And we can only do it together. When is enough enough?

  27. Mexico and other countries south have a lot of god people; however, their governments have been corrupt for decades or even centuries. Unfortunately, their people are also afraid of their police. Sadly, many years ago their citizens rights to buy and carry guns were taken away, so only the police and criminals have the money and easy access to guns. Also, the Liberal Human Rights groups compound the problems inflicted on the poor by not allowing justice to be carried out on the criminals.

    Combine this with the new administration of Manuel Lopez-Obrador and you now have the disaster now hitting Mexico. The only way Mexico is going to change if its good citizens arm their selves and revolt. Unfortunately however, many innocent people will perish in the process.

    The US is not immune to the problems going on in Mexico and similar crime will happen there too, if the Liberals gain in power. The only different is that many Americans are already armed and more will do so, if the crime escalates there!
