Breathe
By Yohali Reséndiz
He could barely speak when the paramedics came in to rescue him; there was no electricity, gas or water in the apartment.
The siren of the ambulance in which he was being transported scared away the cars around him. The skill of the rescue worker to reach the Azcapotzalco Pediatric Hospital managed to beat his own record. The doctors looked at each other and were not surprised: yet another of the crimes committed by adults against those who cannot defend themselves.
There was not much to do, it had been many days of neglect and no matter how much medical efforts there are battles that are lost from the beginning and this was one of them.
Those feelings that are invisible to patients were recognized in the hospital emergency room, frustration and anger at not being able to do more.
The skin stuck to the bone prevented the needle from finding the vein and yet a skillful hand was directed by God and the child's guardian angel but it was too late. The outcome came soon and no one was surprised.
"Maybe it's for the best, he died of starvation," a nurse said. At his death the pain in his soul did not stop because if it is true that the dead can observe what happens once the breath is extinguished, he watched with deep sadness that no one came to ask for him or look for him or embrace him as his body went numb and coldness gripped his heart.
No one at the time arrived except the one who carried him on a cold tray to the Institute of Forensic Sciences (INCIFO) through the streets of a city he never knew.
Entering the building, he was taken by elevator to the 3rd floor in a December about to end.
Forensic experts received his body. And he was treated with dignity and respect.
At first glance the expression on her little face was classified as sad.
Diagnosis: Pneumonia caused by malnutrition due to neglect of her care.
His body presented Cachexia (an extreme thinness...very extreme) due to nutritional neglect because of his young age that, although he could provide his own food, there was no such thing at home for him. The low defenses caused by lack of food led to a deadly infection in the lungs especially in children and his body gave up.
To this day it is known that Olga Idelevich is the one who left him to die, I could write, "the child's mother, Olga Idelevich is the one who left him to die" but I have a different concept of a mother. She, after the conscious infanticide had enough time to go to the airport, board a plane and flee to Dubai.
The man who contributed his sperm to Olga Idelevich has been identified by the authority as Marco Antonio Mijangos Velasco, a lawyer -also a fugitive- was denounced in 2019 in family matters and here it would be worth asking: what did the Mexico City Court of Justice do for the little boy and Olga? Did they attend the complaint or did the lawyer pay the favor so that justice would not reach him? Are they accomplices of the crime by inaction or will they also be as in other cases, fugitives from justice?
The youngest perhaps died feeling that he did not deserve to fight, perhaps he was also tired of feeling rejected, devalued, neglected, abandoned and feeling a deep lack of love, perhaps at his young age he carried the weight of being a great burden and perhaps he decided to give up and not beg for a basic right: food...Perhaps...Perhaps...Perhaps...So many perhaps and only one answer that he took with him in his chest where the most beautiful moments of life are treasured or the worst traumas are recorded: memory .
In the homes of the world, walls hold windows and doors, but also in the walls are hidden wires, humidity, pests, beds, passages, tables, stories and family secrets, snippets of lives, threads, with the best scenes of happiness that humans can experience with the flag of love waving or live terrifying scenes where the worst feelings nestle and it is impossible to escape, although the door is so close....
By the way, the child was buried in the Azcapotzalco Garden in Mexico City and this dramatic event was outrageous for a couple of days in social networks.
Hopefully those who read this column will look for the faces of those responsible, Olga Idelevich and Marco Antonio Mijangos Velasco, and share them on their social networks.
The Mexico City Attorney General's Office is looking for them, but I don't think they will find them from their desks, so a good social and congruent diffusion would help a lot to send them a message: You will not be a fugitive anymore.
