Mexican Cartel Members Accused of Kidnapping Children and Harvesting Their Organs

If you have seen the movie 'Inhale' you would think in reality, such acts of cruelty and brutality towards children could never happen, but think again. In what has become a growing trend in Mexico, children are plucked from the streets and their organs harvested by gang cartels who use these organs to fuel an underground black market trade in organs.

Police in Mexico's western state of Michoacan detained an alleged member of the Knights Templar cartel who is suspected of kidnapping children to harvest their organs, an official said on Monday.Michoacan state Public Safety Secretary Carlos Castellanos Becerra alleged that Manuel Plancarte Gaspar was part of the cartel's organ-trafficking ring.The ring would kidnap children and take them to rented homes with medical equipment where their organs were removed, Castellanos Becerra charged.
