#frida sofia

El 19 de septiembre de 2017, un fuerte terremoto sacudió la Ciudad de México, causando el colapso de varios edificios, entre ellos el Colegio Enrique Rébsamen, donde perdieron la vida 23 personas, incluidos 19 niños. En medio de la búsqueda de sobrevivientes, surgió la noticia de una niña atrapada bajo los escombros que aún seguía con vida.

Medios de comunicación, redes sociales y figuras públicas replicaron la noticia; Televisa transmitió durante días el supuesto "rescate de Frida Sofía", brindando detalles, testimonios de voluntarios y reportes minuto a minuto. Sin embargo, con el paso de los días, la información comenzó a contradecirse: no aparecían familiares de la niña, y al revisar el registro de estudiantes en el colegio, no había nadie llamado Frida Sofía.

Fue entonces cuando se reveló que Frida Sofía nunca existió. ¿Cómo se engañó al mundo entero?

Conoce uno de los casos más extraños y polémicos:

Arrestan a Frida Sofia en Miami por alterar orden

It's been more than 24 hours since volunteers and the military are desperately trying to rescue a little girl that is trapped in a school that collapse in Mexico city, they were able to communicate with her and she is alive and apparently there's other students with her but so far they haven't been able to get them out of there

During the Mexico earthquake, amongst the fallen constructions, was a school where various children and teachers were trapped. It was a horrible new and everyone followed its advances. They were able to save some children but most of them were beyond salvation. This was a heart-wrenching situation.

After some time, all hope of finding survivors was lost as they only were able to pull out the bodies of those little angels.

Everyone was stroke by grief until some government Marines gave the notice that they had been able to make contact with a 12-year-old girl who apparently said her name was "Frida Sofia" and that she and other two classmates were trapped under a table. She quickly became a light of Hope in the midst of despair.

More than 24 hours later and after a full coverage of events, it was revealed that it all had been a blatant lie. For starters, no parent or responsible adult appeared and claimed to be her relative, there were no records of a girl with said name on the school and the government had prohibited entrance to all the volunteers and the topos (a special group specialized in rescuing people trapped under debris).

Televisa, the television chain that covered the new, was blamed for spreading fake news to increase their ratings. Televisa blamed the government for giving them said fake information.

(”In a few words, Frida Sofia doesn’t exist”. -Joaquín López-Dóriga via Twitter. aka one of the reporters who did coverage on the “Frida Sofia” case.)

What I say, whoever the fault was, this was just cruel and twisted.

I am very disappointed.

There are still people trapped under rubble and the ones helping are the civilians. The government preferred to mount their reality show. Wasting time on a fake rescue instead of attending the real emergency. What a shame.
