On April 3, 2025, during the broadcast of the morning news program Telediario Matutino on Channel 6, Grupo Multimedios aired an Amber Alert to locate a minor, following a request from the child's mother who claimed that the child had gone missing on March 23, 2025, in the Reforma Iztaccíhuatl neighborhood, in the Iztacalco borough. The program's host asked the public for assistance, showed the child’s photo, and described his physical characteristics, which caused concern among the audience and social media users.
Days later, the child's father, with the support of Rusconi & Sauza, submitted a formal request to exercise his right of reply, stating that the information broadcast was false and that his son was not missing but under his legal custody.
In his statement, the father expressed regret that the information had been published without prior verification and called on the media to act with greater responsibility in sensitive matters. He also took the opportunity to highlight that men can also be victims of domestic violence, a topic he argued remains invisible due to gender stereotypes.
Thanks to the intervention of Rusconi & Sauza, the right of reply was successfully exercised in accordance with the Regulatory Law of Article 6, First Paragraph, of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States on the Right of Reply. The reply was aired on April 10, in the same time slot, format, and frequency as the original broadcast, thus complying with the requirements of the law.
This case set an important precedent regarding the role of the media in disseminating verified information, especially on issues related to children and family dynamics. Furthermore, the actions of Rusconi & Sauza were crucial in safeguarding the rights of both the father and the child, as well as in raising awareness about domestic violence against men, a reality rarely acknowledged in the media and judicial spheres.
