Dear

    We heard banging on the windows of a house on the street our summer missions team was teaching a kids club. A boy and girl were locked locked in a room in that house, and were trying to get out attention by banging the plastic covering the iron girded window frame. 
    These two, who appear to be children, are young adults and they are prisioners in a small room with no bathroom, and no lights.  As they banged harder and faster, team members approached the window.  They smelled an aweful stench come from the room as they talked to the youth in the room.  The girl inside talked with grunts. Our team members told talked to them and offered them food.  The Small hands came up through the window and took the food. One of the team members cried. She couldn't believe what she is seeing.

A neighboring couple, who houses one of our prayer groups, told us the children are not mentally retarded. They have been beaten, tied up, and abused for years.  The boy (Oscar) is about 28 and the girl (Vicki) is about 23. Their mother, who is a protitute living at another location, apparently sends food. Four years ago their alcoholic father died, and they were locked in the room.

The neighbor couple made a strong attempt with a lawyer to help the captive youths. Another of our church leaders put in a report to the Mexican DCFS. Both attempts have failed. The law gives preference to the mother who feeds them and provides a roof over their head.

We are making this abuse and injustice public. My administrative assistant is trying to contact a human rights good for help. We pray that God would give us connections with an international human rights group to appeal to the Mexican government for help.

If you know of anyone that could help, please contact us soon.

Would you take a moment right now to pray for His compassion toward Oscar and Vicki's and their immediate freedom?

Thank you,
Chris
