ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Child sexual abuse--pornography, internet sex crimes, businessmen and members of the clergy who are rapists, and the enabling authorities.

Mexico is in the leading ranks of child sexual abuse in the world. How many more lives must be torn apart before we confront this tragedy with real justice? Child sexual abuse is a damnable practice that deeply damages the most vulnerable beings in our society. Mara Antonieta Flores Astorga, expert in the matter after years of research and having received severe threats for her work, brings us this book: a thorough, tragic, and infuriating retelling of what rape, pornography, human trafficking, and sexual harassment do to the child and teenage victims.

The journalist reveals the names and actions of pederasts and rapists, ranging from businessmen to church representatives, judges, and lawyers who, colluded with the authorities, conceal these crimes, as well as the complicity of civil servants, teachers, and school principals in child sexual abuse. Her research offers heartbreaking testimonies of the victims, noting that molestation does not end with the commission of the crime. It is then their hell begins, as the consequences wound them for life.

The purpose of this investigation is to denounce those practices that mutilate children, demanding that no assault against a minor goes unpunished, radically promoting cyber security so no boy, girl, or teen is ever recorded nor photographed as an offering to the demons that besiege them like beasts. In sum, let us say enough to all that hurts the children of Mexico and the world.
