It's definitely a worthwhile article. It explains the destruction of the social fabric of Mexico, the family has been destroyed and the sudden increase in violent crime is the one of the results. The maquilas tend to hire only women because they're more docile and so are another factor, you've got the young mothers leaving children without adequate daycare ---sometimes locking them inside homes for security until they return from work. Fathers are long-gone, traditional ways are out the door. Kids turn to the streets to be raised. The extended family is also destroyed ---where the traditional Mexican lived very close to the extended family, it's now broken up and scattered throughout two countries.
