HAS MEXICO'S BRAVEST WOMAN RUN AWAY?

GONE?

MEXICO'S bravest woman has reportedly fled from the small town of Praxedis which she'd vowed to clean up after becoming Police Chief to seek asylum in America.
Marisol Valles Garcia, a 21-year-old mother and student took on the role after the last lawman was kidnapped and decapitated, his head dumped outside the police station a few days later.
"I took the risk because I want my son to live in a different community to the one we have today. I want people to be able to go out without fear, as it was before," she said as she was sworn in last October.
But Agence France Presse  is reporting that relatives are saying she "received death threats from a criminal group that wanted to force her to work for them."
And she has now gone "to the United States along with two relatives and will seek asylum."

Officials from the town which is just across the border from Fort Hancock in Texas she has just asked for some personal days off to tend to her child, but is expected to be back at work on Monday.
As for the reports of her seeking asylum, "Right now, these are rumors," he said.
