“We no longer want the deaths of more children for leaving them alone when we go to work, that is why we ask the authorities to stop harassing us and better give us alternatives to leave our children in a safe place, we ask them to open the hostel of Teacapán now,” said Neri Fuentes Vázquez, translator of the Mixtecs that come from Guerrero and Oaxaca.During the morning of this January 12th there was a verbal confrontation between municipal authorities of DIF system and agricultural day laborers, who, being surprised with minors in staff transport vans to the countryside, faced municipal officials who demanded to give them alternatives to leave their children in a safe place and do not record the deaths of more minors, as they have lived this terrible experience in previous years.

“The day we met with the authorities where the president was that day I told them that we have nowhere to leave our children in a safe place and if we leave them they will not stay in our homes and we do not want to live again the death of one of our children, as three years ago with a little niece who stung a spider and died when we were working and we could not help her , they attack us that they do not want children in the countryside, but we prefer to bring them to the countryside and know that they are doing to leave the good god to them alone,” said Fuentes Vázquez.La leader of the day laborers called on the municipal president, Emmett Soto Grave, to keep his word for opening teacapán’s hostel and they agree not to take the children to the countryside anymore , as they may leave them in a nursery with trained staff.” We were told by the president when we met in Escuinapa that the hostel would start operating no later than December 17 or 19 and that hasn’t happened, when that happens we do the meeting with the caporals and now if we leave our children in day care where we know that our children will be cared for and cared for by trained people” Mentioned. He recounted that the situation of the dozens of families of day laborers is very complex, because they leave their homes in Oaxaca and Guerrero to come to Sinaloa in search of family sustening in the agricultural fields of Escuinapa, but this becomes very difficult, since they are more than 2 to 3 thousand pesos, coupled with the expense of food becomes overcome difficult , so it is urgent that the teacapán hostel be opened, which would allow them to improve their quality of life.
