Overview
- Officers from the capital’s SSC responded after neighbors reported a child crying inside a residence in San José Aculco, near Canal de Río Churubusco between Cosmógrafos and Diplomáticos.
- With neighbors’ permission, police entered the second-floor home and found a boy of about three years alone, dirty, without shoes or lower-body clothing, and visibly distressed.
- The child was given warmth, water, and food by officers to stabilize him before further steps were taken.
- A woman arrived in apparent intoxication claiming to be the mother but provided no documents, so investigators transported both to the corresponding Ministerio Público.
- Authorities referenced the local penal code on omission of aid or care, which allows three months to three years in prison and possible loss of parental rights if the offender is a parent or guardian.
