In the Mexican state of Guerrero, the kidnappers of Jesus Nuñez Fernandez, a 21-year-old son of a businessman, have posted a video of the child on YouTube in which he implores his father to pay his ransom. The six-minute video, entitled "Merry Christmas," was sent to several local reporters. In it, Nuñez, who was abducted in September, says, "My life has a deadline, mom, dad ... if you don't pay and you don't ask the police to step out of the case I will be executed on Thursday."
