There are five kids killed in only over a month, in addition to the Aylin case from 2025. If that's not a tendency, the common statistics reveal an emergency: Morelos has the second-highest rate of female homicides in the nation and the fifth state with the most feminicides in Mexico.

Cuautla, the place Claudia Tacoronte passed away in, is one of eight communities that has implemented Alerta de Violencia de Género since 2015.

He noted that in the first six months of the year, the perception of insecurity dropped from 64 % to 60 %.
In terms of feminicides, his team announced a 14 % drop nationwide in April and signed and submitted to Congress a law aiming to homologize the criminal rate in the 32 states with 50 to 70 years in July.
Every crime of a girl is investigated according to the feminicide protocol, and the stated goal is "zero impunity. "
In any case, individuals at UAEM say Sheinbaum's program "failed," and that the figures for reducing violence are never reliable.
It is challenging for the government to alter the information in cases like Tacoronte for the report on violence in Mexico and later outrage to be published.
