"I asked one of the women what was going on and she told me her name was Carmen Rios Garcia, and that the boy was her son. "She identified him as Fernando Caleb Alvarado Rios, and said that she and her sister Lizbeth had done it." She admitted that she had told him repeatedly to close his eyes and when he had told her "No, I do not want to close them" she had ordered the others to help remove his eyes. The youngster has since been given glass eyes which Mexican health officials said would be constantly replaced as he grew older.
