Without taking into account the costs of suffering to the families, as well as borrowing often dragged with it these cases, to the point of impoverish them.

According to the who in its latest report, the second leading cause of worldwide death in ages between 15 and 29 years of age is by violence on the tracks. Being the third leading cause in between ages 30 and 44. While the eighth is from 45 to 59.
