Looks like a case of “rapto” as Dr Deborah Schurman-Kauflin describes it in her excellent essay Importing Violence: The Danger of Allowing Immigration from Violent Cultures:

First, take the concept of ‘rapto.’ This comes from Mexico where in some areas, it is socially acceptable for a man of any age to abduct a female of any age as long as long as he intends to marry her. That is right. Men can kidnap and rape females. This is acceptable in Oaxaca where the government continues to view rapto as a minor crime. One legislator even referred to this horrid violation as “romantic.” Lest anyone believe such garbage, note that 24 year old Mexican immigrant Eliseo Nunez snatched a 12 year old girl and took her to Mexico to fulfill his erotic desires. Isn’t that romantic?

The Associated Press report makes it clear this is exactly what we’re dealing with here, in their own mincing politically correct way:

The danger of allowing immigrants to adhere to multiculturalism is as opposed to assimilating into American society is no more clearly exposed than in a case where a family cannot communicate with police to get them to help find their kidnapped daughter and her baby.

Needless to say if you see Sebastian Sanchez-Velasqo, last seen in a white van with California plates, alert authorities immediately so we can hopefully get this poor woman and her child home to her family safe.
