Takeaways from the AP's report on Mexican mothers searching for their disappeared children

According to official data, at least 115,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since 1952. In the last two decades, specific causes and perpetrators have blurred as officials have fought drug cartels and organized crime has tightened its grip in several states. But human trafficking, kidnapping, acts of retaliation and forced recruitment are some of the reasons listed by human rights organizations. Among the relatives searching for their loved ones are mothers whose children never came back home. With whatever resources they find, and the support from various religious leaders, some find in their faith the strength to keep looking for answers about what happened to their children.
