Iglesia católica llama a actuar antes que delincuencia en reclutamiento infantil en México

On Sunday, October 25, in Mexico City, the Mexican Catholic Church issued a public call urging authorities and society at large to protect children and adolescents from the pressures of organized crime. The institution emphasized the urgent need to shield minors from being recruited into the ranks of criminal groups.

In its statement, the Church stressed that preventive measures must be taken proactively, acting before criminal organizations are able to successfully recruit minors. The appeal highlights ongoing concerns regarding the vulnerability of youth to cartel influence and exploitation within the country.
