1. My heart goes out to those parents, and all Mexicans

They don't deserve this. They are such a sweet people, whenever I have met them when I have traveled down there. Not that there is not massive corruption in the US and Canada, but there seems to be no checks and balance left in Mexico. They all live in fear. Its all one big playground for the 1% and the drug cartels.
