The mayor of Mazatlán, Edgar González Zatarain, denies rumors that circulate on social networks about the attempts to kidnap children, he said that they are only rumors, since there is no complaint about it, however, police surveillance was strengthened around the basic education schools.
He commented that this type of messages, started on social networks in the north and center of the state last week, without parents officially going to file complaints for alleged kidnappings of infants.
The mayor indicated that even when these versions that are spread are false, parents must remain attentive about where their underage children are and report any suspicious attitude they have.
He also asked the citizens not to replicate this type of messages without first having the certainty of their authenticity, since this generates concern among the families and distracts the function of the security corporations.
González Zatarain expressed that the patrols will be reinforced in the popular neighborhoods, in rural communities and in areas close to the basic education schools, to give confidence to the families and prevent any problem from arising.
