The general director of the State System for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF Jalisco), Lucio Miranda Robles, in his recent visit to this city, indicated that the trafficking of children is a fundamental problem suffered in Puerto Vallarta.
"A strong problem we have in the family itself, one of the problems is the abandonment of elderly people, but we have a fundamental problem that we recognize in Vallarta: the trafficking of minors, it is a very complex issue, it is a very complicated issue that has been going on for years, and that there are countless people involved. I think it is the main problem we have in the issue that unfortunately arises from within the family," he warned.
Attorney Miranda Robles pointed out that she does not have statistics on the number of cases of trafficking of children and adolescents, who are recruited or stolen to be exploited, but this problem is considered worrisome in Puerto Vallarta.
"I am not the expert in the area, the Prosecutor's Office is working, the issue of prosecutors is working, but I think it is one of the main ones we recognize we have," he clarified.
The state official informed that they have approached the situation in an integral manner, since it is a phenomenon that begins within the family.
"We are working from the peace spaces, from the academies, from the issue with the elderly, from the construction of the social fabric... together with Social Assistance with the issue of schools, making the diagnosis, listening to the adolescents... from there in the DIF what we are doing together with the Ministry of Social Assistance." he highlighted.
