Mexican drug cartels recruiting Texas children

[mfcorey1]

Cartels would pay kids $50 just for them to move a vehicle
from one position to another position, which allows the cartel
to keep it under surveillance to see if law enforcement has it
under surveillance," he said.

"Of course, once you're hooked up with them, there's
consequences."

McCraw said 25 minors have been arrested in one Texas border
county alone in the past year for running drugs, acting as
lookouts, or doing other work for organized Mexican drug
gangs. The cartels are now fanning out, he said, and have
operations in all major Texas cities.

This month, "we made an arrest of a 12-year-old boy who
was in a stolen pickup truck with 800 pounds of
marijuana," he said. "So they do recruit our
kids."

McCraw says the state of Texas is joining a program initiated
by U.S. Customs and Border Protection called "Operation
Detour," in which law enforcement officers meet with
children and their parents in schools and at community centers
to warn them about the dangers of what appears to be the easy
money the Mexican drug gangs offer.
