Glad to read that she's home safely though one wonders about the longterm effects of five months' confinement.
From what I've heard, this is more often than not a viable entrpreneurial activity in those parts. Many are kiddnapped, many pay and the whole sick saga continues. The authorities are simply incapable or unwilling to do anything about it. This is simply my impression - anyone with any personal experience, feel free to chime in.
Not to knock the guy, but I don't understand how Urbina resisted the urge to blow a year's salary to get his mom back.
Is there any guarantee that paying would work? I don't see a lot of social contracts in kiddnapping. Would paying not precipitate a greater demand in Urbina's case because of his relatively vast wealth? Just throwing it out there. Plus, maybe he didn't have it.
