Parents Searching for Bodies Find 1,600 Baby Teeth in Mexico as Mass Graves Multiply
A group of parents searching for missing children discovered 1,600 baby teeth on a hill in Zacapu, Michoacán, which they believe belong to young victims of criminal organizations involved in sexual exploitation or organ trafficking. Despite the Open Public Ministry confirming the mass grave, authorities have not provided specific victim counts or conducted genetic identification, even though locals knew of the site for over five years. This discovery highlights Mexico's broader crisis, with over 130,000 officially missing people and a rise in clandestine graves documented by researchers at Iberoamericana University. While President Sheinbaum claims a 51 percent drop in murders since 2024, reports indicate that missing persons numbers are increasing, particularly in states where homicide rates supposedly fell, suggesting discrepancies in official counting methods and ongoing failures to investigate mass graves due to lack of resources or corruption.
