AMERICA/MEXICO - A video shows a child rummaging in the garbage looking for food

Villaflores (Agenzia Fides) - The video that shows a street child seeking food from a garbage has caused great indignation among the citizens of the municipality of Villaflores, Chiapas, Mexico. The video, filmed by a passer-by who saw the scene and approached the child, is causing reaction in social networks, asking for a dignified life for children. The video shows a child with his cousin rummaging among the garbage cans in search of something to eat.
