In a editorial Published this January 26 in its weekly from faith, the Archdiocese of Mexico questions: “How did we reach a point where we have filled with news and violence news? In the beginning we were surprised by the facts, then, when the figures were accumulated so many. ”
“Now we are on the way to lose the surprise that even children are the victims of insecurity,” he laments.
“Children are the richness of humanity, a cheerful treasure that must be guarded. They deserve to enjoy the necessary conditions to live in joy; They require adequate environments that allow them to feed hope, today also mutilated by violence and criminal acts. ”
Before this panorama, the archdiocese of Mexico sued the authorities to guarantee Mexican children “safe environments, spaces to play, learn, live together and those who are not in danger of being recruited by organized crime or die at the hands of criminals ”.

At the end of its editorial, the Archdiocese asked Our Lady of Guadalupe that “it helps us in the care of our children, to assist us to guide them in the path of life to their Son Jesus, and intercede for us so that we can have the courage to denounce any criminal act that puts our families at risk, and especially our children. ”
