Oh no, it was a drug cartel all right.

But drug cartels kidnap innocent people all the time and innocent people get caught up in the reciprocate violence.

Yes, it was drug cartel.
No, the family wasn't involved.

The initial "local news" report was that it could have been mistaken identity.

1. The family had just moved in.
2. The Kidnappers didn't know they were taking a boy,
as they left they referred to the boy as a 'she'.


Also Cartels and other gangs just kidnap or shake down innocent business owners, mafia style kidnapping the father/breadwinner/decision maker.
The family has to pay.


The News' automatic connection of the family to the drug business
dulls the public's attitude towards find the boy.

The major news were just focusing on the speculation and not pictures of the men or the truck.

It was the guilt by association that bothered me.
