Alejandrina HW for friday (article summary)

Summary:
Kidnapping has increase over the years. In Mexico there was a fake checkpoint that leaded to a kidnapping tragedy. A 14 year old named Fernando Marti was the victim. His father paid hundreds of dollars for his safe return but instead he turn out to be dead. In Fernando’s case a police was involved in the kidnapping; this officer was the key participant in the kidnapping plan. As a result suspicions of police involvement in crimes on kidnapping grew nationwide. In order to solve these types of problems president Calderon said he is going to change the security systems of prisons making more high security. Mexico has the highest numbers of kidnapping, 9.1 percent of kidnappings are in this year which makes an estimate of 65 per month nationwide. Another organization name the nonprofit citizen institute state the true numbers are 500 a month nationwide. Not only high class people are victims now kidnappers are kidnapping middle class Days before the finding of Marti’s body a family of six people were killed in Jalisco. Mexico has left death penalty. Life sentence is only 50 years. The public is angry and are protesting for this occurrence.
My opinion and thoughts:
Why do people kidnap other innocent victims? Kidnapping is very serious situation. This happens a lot in Mexico just for money. I think it is very sad to see how society acts toward one another. It also happens a lot with younger people like this 14 year boy. The people who do such a disaster like this should be punished for life. They don’t have any idea what they put the family through. Not only those it looks bad in society but it makes they look horrible. Jails just make it worst therefore they should be punished a little more than jail. Kidnapping is just so dramatic. The effects just makes it worst.
