At least 29 children have been killed in a fire that swept through a state-run day-care centre in north-western Mexico, officials say.
To the woman who said "thats 100 less Mexicans" this is just 29 less "potential illegal immigrants" to her.

This thread has quite the provocative title. Sad story yet one where I am surprised these incidents don't happen more often.

The death toll is now at 31.
Quote:Reforma newspaper reported that the building was a converted factory with no emergency exits. Ayala said the day care's exits were inadequate but did not have further details.
"Firefighters had to knock holes in the walls to get the children," he said.
Authorities have identified 27 of the 31 children killed, according to a Sonora government statement Saturday.

Bless the Shriners! those children with such extensiveburns will be in so much pain as they heal over time, or need grafts. assuming they even survive.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN)[/b] -- The death toll from a fire Friday at a Mexican day-care center in the northwestern state of Sonora has risen to at least 35, Sonora Governor Eduardo Bours told CNN.

A crib and baby seats lie outside a day care center Friday in Hermosillo, Mexico, as police cordon off the area.
At least 41 children and six adults were hospitalized in the 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) blaze in the city of Hermosillo, the governor said. The number injured earlier was reported to be more than 100.
At least 12 of the injured have burns over 70 percent of their bodies, La Tribuna newspaper reported, citing Health Secretary Raymundo Lopez Vucovich.
Some of the children, who were between ages 1 and 5, will be treated at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Sacramento, California, the medical facility and Mexican officials said.
Shriners Hospitals is a health care system that gives children free treatment for burns, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic conditions, and cleft lip and palate problems, according to its Web site. It admits children under 18.

HERMOSILLO, Mexico ⿿ Grieving parents buried their children Sunday after a devastating daycare fire killed 40 infants and toddlers, stunning Mexico and prompting its president to promise a thorough investigation.[/b]
Funeral processions drove slowly to churches in the northwestern city of Hermosillo decorated with balloons and flowers.
The family of 2-year-old Maria Magdalena Millan dropped white roses on her casket and attached a Dora the Explorer balloon to the cross marking her grave at one of the first funerals held on Saturday.
"I love you and I don't want to leave you here!" her mother screamed.
President Felipe Calderon arrived in the city late Saturday. He wished surviving children a speedy recovery and promised families full government support and a thorough investigation into the fire's cause.
"I want to say to the mothers and fathers of the little ones who died that we share their profound sadness," Calderon said earlier in the day.
The death toll rose to 40 on Sunday after two children died in hospitals, according to Sonora state health secretary Raymundo Lopez Vucovich. Most of the victims had died of organ collapse caused by smoke inhalation, he said.
The fire initially spread from an adjoining tire and car warehouse to the roof of the ABC day care and sent flames raining down. Fire officials still don't know how it started.
Delfina Ruelas, 60, said her grandchild German Leon died of his burns on Saturday, three days after his fourth birthday.
She and her husband saw televised reports about the fire Friday and rushed over.
"I thought he wasn't that burned and that we would find him OK, but he was very burned," said Ruelas, dissolving into tears outside the morgue, where she waited with 30 other relatives. "They operated on him yesterday, and he held on, but today he couldn't."
Firefighters carried injured children out the day care's front door ⿿ its only working exit ⿿ and through large holes that a civilian knocked into the walls before rescue crews arrived, according to a fire department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the fire.
Noe Velasquez, who works at a nearby auto parts store and helped rescue five toddlers, said one of the children's fathers had rammed his pickup truck through a wall. Velasquez did not know if the man's child survived.
The deaths in Hermosillo, capital of the state of Sonora with a population of about 560,000, again raised questions about building safety in Mexico. Officials cracked down on code violations last year after a deadly stampede at a nightclub killed 12 and a disco fire nine years ago killed 21. Both clubs were in Mexico City.
An estimated 142 children, ranging from 6 months to 5 years in age, were in the day care at the time of the fire, along with six staffers who looked after them, Sonora state Gov. Eduardo Bours told a news conference.
That ratio is in line with legal standards, said Daniel Karam, director of Mexico's Social Security Institute, which outsourced services to the privately run center.
A May 26 inspection found that the building ⿿ a converted warehouse with a few windows high up ⿿ complied with safety standards, Karam added. He conceded that security requirements might need reevaluation.
Guadalupe Arvizu, who was visiting her injured 2-year-old grandson at a hospital, said the building's emergency exit could not be opened on Friday. She did not know why.
"The place is in bad condition. It's a warehouse. There are no windows in the classrooms," said Arvizu, whose daughter ⿿ the boy's mother ⿿ is a caretaker at the center but was not injured in the blaze.
Some of the children had third-degree burns, according to the Hermosillo fire department official. Thirty-three remain hospitalized, 23 of them in Hermosillo, including 13 who are in critical condition, Lopez said. One of them is brain dead.
Nine were transferred to Mexican hospitals in Ciudad Obregon in Sonora and the western Mexican city of Guadalajara, which has a special burn unit, he said.
Four children were released, along with two of six adults who had been admitted, Lopez said. The adults included five women who looked after children at the center and a security guard.
Two 3-year-olds were being treated at a pediatric burn center in northern California. One of them, a girl, was flown there with her father by a Mexican military transport, a great-uncle said. She had burns over 80 percent of her body and was expected to require months of care.
Dr. Tina Palmieri, assistant chief of burns at Shriners Hospital for Children Northern California, said the survival rate in such cases is about 50 percent.
"A lot of it is how deep the burn is and where it's located and how bad is the smoke inhalation," she said.
Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Mexico's consul general in Sacramento, said more victims may be headed there for treatment.
Pope Benedict XVI sent a telegram of sympathy for those killed or injured, the Vatican said Sunday. The pontiff was "deeply pained" by the fire and offered his prayers for its victims as well as "heartfelt condolences" to their loved ones, the telegram said.

It just gets worse and worse. Burns have to be the worst and that one little kid was burned on 80% of her body? All she's got in her life right now is agony and fear.

My Daughter gets a splinter that I have to dissect out and she says "Make it go away" This is what this child is saying now.I truly believe that Fox does not wish this shit on any child, illegal or not. You cannot say with 100% assurance that that is the way she thinks. Assuming that she does think that way only perpetuates the myth. I believe that this is not the case in this situation. Internet bullshit aside she is not like that.
- LuMPyPussy - 06-07-2009
She might not be happy that these children have died like this but it's a safe bet she'd be a lot more unhappy if these were 'white' children.
- Maggot - 06-07-2009
I hate seeing anyone die any color. Except for those lawfully deserving it. They can rot in hell.
- Lady Cop - 06-07-2009
these were babies. nobody wishes this horror on them.
edited to add: i am disgusted at the lack of code enforcement that cost their lives.

She took genuine gleefrom a serious accident that killed a lot of Mexicans, I wouldn't have posted in the manner that I did unless I firmly believed that she has absolutely no compassion whatsoever for any hispanic person, adult or child.
Basically Maggot you are defending the indefensible.

And the fact that he keeps defending her and the rest of the clan is making him look a little suspicious as well.

I agree Maggot. I know Fox, and I KNOW she doesn't feel this way. I hate the fuckin illegals(Adults)too and if anybody has a problem with it, tough shit. Just because I hate lawbreakers doesn't mean I would wish this on anybody just because their Mexican. I blame their fucking Government. It doesn't have to be this way in this day and age.
It's no different than Africa. How many millions upon millions of dollars have we sent to them with Live Aid concerts time and time again andother contributions only to see it go exactly where it doesn't belong, to the fuckingcorrupt Government.
This whole post is bullshit.

Suspicious about what??? Because he doesn't think EXACTLY the way you and
OP think?
So you and OP are liberal and I'm basically in the middle but lean somewhat to the right, and I'm thinking Maggot is more like me judging from his posts. So, do you HATE anybody that doesn't thinkthe same as YOU???
Who the fuck is right, and who is wrong with the way they think. NO FUCKING BODY, because we are FREE to think however we want.
Maybe people think you are suspicious because of what you think. Do you give a shit..............didn't think so.
