Overview
- Security footage from Tlalpan shows a man lowering a young child from a gray sedan and driving off, and neighbors called police after hearing the boy cry.
- Mexico City’s Secretariat of Citizen Security located the car, the driver, and the roughly five-year-old boy, and officers detained the man for questioning.
- The driver told police it was a game with his son in which he drove a short distance as the child ran before letting him back into the vehicle.
- The case was turned over to the public prosecutor, who is now investigating possible legal responsibility.
- No charges have been announced, and La Jornada reports the video shows the man pulling the child back twice and moving the car, details included in the inquiry.
