I am in Mexico, and I’m not finding news about this. Let me check a little, OP. It may be a bogeyman, it may be real. Not finding anything about “secuestrados” in Mexico DF, nor. ‘Puerto Lázaro Cárdenas”.
My in-laws own businesses here. One constant feature for people that earn more here is that they deal with lotes of crime threats, extortion and bribes. We have heard again and again about kidnapping threats (not recently, but I expect soon; as more deportees return). In those years, a severed head was placed at the door a family member’s business. An exclamation point for a kidnapping threat. That was enough for me to return.
I know a man from Ariz. that married a woman with a little girl and he went with her to Acapulco to help run her parent's store. Everything was fine since it was beautiful there and was a really popular tourist place until it turned for the worse. It is now a hell hole of crime and they don't know what to do. They cannot leave her parents in a lurch but many are advising them to just leave and move to another part of Mexico. We all know how old people don't want to leave their homes. But this is their life. We have traveled to Mexico and a friend also, Calderon Fox and Salinas were crooked but things really went south when Nieto took over. There are reasons why we had better pay attention for they are also sending trafficked children from Mexico into the US. You can bet on it. I will be the first one to say we should straighten out our own problems here, but these are our next door neighbors. It does and will affect us no matter how much we say it won't. I could not read the article as of yet, as you know I had to take a break for about a week since I have been greatly affected by too many horror stories. Children are children to me. No matter where they are from, it has always been that way for me. This story from what I can make out, is as frightening as can be.

I’m getting ready to do the same again.
