Archdiocese urges prevention of youth recruitment by organized crime

ACI Prensa Mexico

A major archdiocese in Mexico has urged authorities, families, and society to strengthen measures against the recruitment of minors by organized crime groups. In an editorial published in its newspaper, the institution highlighted a study reporting that over 1,300 children died from violence in 2024, and nearly 8,000 remain missing. The text warns that criminal organizations exploit social media platforms like TikTok to lure young people with promises of belonging and future opportunities. To combat this, the archdiocese proposed four action axes: measuring the phenomenon, preventing recruitment through family and school support, acting against digital recruitment, and protecting those already recruited.
