I'm glad nothing worse happened to your stepson, countrymouse! That's why you wouldn't catch me going down there, forget it. I agree about the children, too, I would not have given them anything to enable that kind of abuse. There are enough decent people working hard and raising their children to set an example in that country, same here, I guess no matter where you go there will always be ones who don't. <_< |

Condor, That sounds a lot like Turkey from what I've heard. I knew the mexican cops were crookeder than a country road but didn't know about the jails. GOOOD info, thanks. CountryMouse, Glad to hear your stepson got back to the USA in good health and short order. Guess he has no plans for another cruise to Mexico. As I was reading both of these stories, I was thinking, "Coming to a town near you ... "

Countrymouse you were right not to give those kids any money. I have friends who are from Mexico and they don't give money to those kids because it's just a scam. I can't stand it in Mexico and haven't gone down in years, but when I used to go as soon as we drove back onto the American side I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. You have no rights in Mexico, the cops are crooked and in cahoots with drug dealers, hookers, etc... A few years ago there was an American family that got into a car accident with a Mexican official. The father was in critical condition with a neck injury and they wouldn't release him until the family came up with a huge amount of money. The wife called her brother-in-law who went to all his friends in the middle of the night trying to raise the money and when he did they decided they wanted more. This went of for a few days while this man was in a Mexican hospital with a life threatening injury. He was finally allowed to come back to the United States and was hospitalized but it was too late for anything to be done for him and he died leaving a wife and three children. I could tell you a lot more stories but suffice it to say that Mexico is corrupt and I don't advise anyone to travel there. |
