Mexico City Daycare Closed After Child Sexual Abuse Allegations A wave of outrage has swept through Lindavista, Mexico City, following allegations of child sexual abuse at the Jardín Encantado daycare center. Parents of a 1-year-old girl reported that their daughter was sexually assaulted on June 5th, leading to immediate protests outside the facility. The daycare has been temporarily suspended by authorities. "Me dan de alta a mi niña alrededor de las 3:00/4:00 de la tarde," stated Eduardo Rosas, the father of the victim, in an interview with Milenio Televisión. He also revealed receiving screenshots indicating the daycare director, Elizabeth Salazar, was instructing staff to clean the facility at 6:30 AM the same day, raising concerns about potential evidence tampering. Dozens of parents joined the protests, holding signs demanding justice and expressing their fear and anger. They've vowed not to return their children even if the daycare reopens until the investigation is complete. The IMSS has confirmed their cooperation with authorities to fully investigate the allegations and ensure such acts do not endanger other children. The incident underscores the urgent need for increased safety measures and transparency in childcare facilities. The investigation is ongoing, and the community awaits answers and justice for the young victim.
