Hundreds of children found at vermin-infested shelter in Mexico

Mexican authorities are still unraveling the horrors allegedly committed on nearly 500 children sheltered at "La Gran Familia" refuge in the western state of Michoacan.

At The Big Family shelter, scores of children -- some as young as two months old -- were denied visits from their parents, virtually imprisoned in vermin-infested quarters and routinely subjected to physical, psychological and sexual abuse, authorities said.

Authorities raided the sprawling, squalid shelter in the city of Zamora Tuesday after a number of parents complained about being denied access to their children, Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karan told reporters.

"We found close to 500 children in truly deplorable conditions," Murillo said.

3. Is it a "Christian"-run place?

Surely not. Christians™ can do no wrong.

7. While I am very antitheistic

and I can't stand religion, this thread doesn't seem like the place to attack it. Your response is insensitive to the tragedy. I'll happily support you elsewhere, but this seems like you're just scoring points. Let's not reinforce the obnoxious atheist stereotype and instead attack religion when we have stronger grounds to do so.

4. Oh well Republicans

Will be pleased they were punished for being poor and in need of love and shelter.

George Bush and KKKarl Rove are probably celebrating the torture of children. They really like that stuff.

6. This is the kind of fate the refugee children are running from. But I doubt that the rethugs care.
