It's all in the family: The Fernández de Cevallos family, that is.

For a glimpse into what must surely be one of Mexico's most dysfunctional families - and not only because its head, "El Jefe" Diego Fernández de Cevallos, one of Mexican politics' most sinister character, is still kidnapped  - the outstanding journalist Lydia Cacho expands on some disturbing news over the weekend, where one of Fernández de Cevallos' sons, David, broke into the house of his wife, armed and accompanied by thugs who may or may not have been federal police, to violently snatch away his two children, despite the fact that his wife had been granted temporary custody over them. 

I really recommend that you read Lydia's column where she details this and preceding events, which appears a quite disturbing case of domestic violence and spousal abuse. 

The apple, and the tree...
