[Em Dott]

Shame, I really doubt she has really comprehended the world of hell she is about to take tenancy up in.

However, it takes a lot of balls to step up to the plate like that but I can't see this ending well at all.

[Guest WAVESURFER]

Brave girl.

Why make this topic now though, this was in the news months ago?

[Guest Klitschko]

Months ago? It's quite likely she's dead.

[Dubby]

Unless she's stupid, she's probably working with the drug lords.

Ah well...

A 20-year-old Mexican woman who gained worldwide attention when she took over as police chief last year in a town plagued by drug-related violence has been sacked for abandoning her post.

Marisol Valles Garcia was hailed as Mexico's bravest woman in October when she became head of public security in the border town of Praxedis G Guerrero.

Last week she was reported to have fled to the US after getting death threats.

This has not been confirmed, and her whereabouts are not clear.

Local officials said Ms Valles had asked for time off work to care for her sick baby, but had not returned on Monday as expected.

The mayor of Praxedis said attempts to contact her had been unsuccessful, and he would take over direct control of the police force.

Local human rights activists told the BBC that Ms Valles and her family had fled to the US after receiving threats.

Responsibility

The criminology student attracted headlines around the world in October when she took on the job of head of public security in Praxedis after other possible candidates were reportedly too scared to apply

At the time, she told the BBC she was accepting the role despite the risks involved because she felt Mexican citizens had a responsibility to try to improve security.

Praxedis is in the Juarez Valley in the northern state of Chihuahua, a battleground for drugs cartels fighting over lucrative smuggling routes across the US border.

Local police and officials in the region have been frequent targets for attack.

The town is close to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent city, where more than 3,000 people were killed in drug-related violence in 2010 alone.

I assumed this was bumped because she was ded, so I consider this a win for her.

[Dubby]

Hmm, maybe she just wanted to be able to live in the US from the start and cooked up a plan to get herself in legally.

That definately sounds likely.

Brb going through 3 years of police school to receive death threats then flee to another country.

answers my other question

all may not be as it seems, she could be missing because the Mexican OG's located her while she was on holiday

i'm afraid that's gonna be my guess until she's seen alive

looooool @ Cipher though.

[Dubby]

it says she was reported to be seeking asylum in the US

definitely sounds like a holiday

[Hideandseek]

She is either very dumb or extremely smart!
