The municipal president of Tenancingo doesn't like his town's reputation that Tenancingo is at the center of the issue of human trafficking in Mexico. Most people in the town of approximately 10,000 people will either deny or ignore any knowledge of the sequestering young girls from other towns in Tenancingo's giant mansions. The municipal president will point out there are activities such as boxing or karate for the town's youth. Meanwhile a tight network of eyes and ears oversees the flow of people and information in the narrow streets that make up this hillside town.
