  • Mexico: No Exit: violent assaults, extortion and sexual harassment on the migration route to the United States

The Attorney General's Office (FGJ) of Mexico City on Tuesday released the robot portrait of the woman who took Fatima from the school , the seven-year-old girl who appeared on Saturday killed in a garbage bag after missing days. The girl's mother was late in looking for her at school and, according to several security camera videos, another woman picked up the child from the school.

According to the portrait released by the FGJ, it is a woman between "42 and 45 years of age" and from 1.55 to 1.60 meters tall of "medium build, light brown complexion, long straight hair, round face , small eyes, straight nose, medium mouth and oval chin. " While the portrait was disseminated, the head of the Government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, gave a press conference to explain that the protocols for collecting minors in schools would be improved, which already contemplated that the child should be picked up by her tutors or by someone authorized with a credential.

Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged that it is not clear that the protocol was respected and said that there are videos in the hands of the prosecution when the woman picks up the girl from the school. "The Ministry of Public Education itself, through its directors and the federal educational authority, will be the ones who can make a direct AMBER alert with the Office of the Specialist in the Search, Location and Investigation of Missing Persons (Fipede), regardless of whether file the criminal complaint or not, "Sheinbaum explained.

The AMBER alert is an international warning protocol that is applied with missing children and that consists of the mass dissemination of photographs and personal information. Until now, if no one authorized to go for a minor at the exit of the school, the center should notify the specialized prosecutor's office , located in the central neighborhood (neighborhood) Doctors, to transfer the child there, but now, Sheinbaum revealed, has "enabled the other prosecutors to facilitate this operation and not be so complicated."

The head of government acknowledged that she has to "strengthen in every way the attention to violent children and women," but said they are doing everything in their power to protect them .

This Tuesday, dozens of women demonstrated at the gates of the National Palace and painted its facade with proclamations to demand justice for the murdered girl and to end the femicide, protests disapproved by Sheinbaum because he wishes they had been "more peaceful."

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, also pronounced himself in line with Sheinbaum's speech during his morning conference, while those claims were being carried out outside the National Palace. "Those who protest have all the guarantees to do so, it is a right, a freedom," he said, but stressed that the demonstrations must be "peaceful" because "violence cannot be confronted with violence."
