Parents of Mexico missing meet with president

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto met with parents of 43 missing teachers college students for the first time since they disappeared, apparently handed over to a drug gang by city police more than a month ago. After meeting for about six hours inside the Los Pinos presidential residence on Wednesday, parents said they told Pena Nieto they didn't have confidence in the investigation, though they said the government agreed to create a commission to monitor the case. In televised remarks, Pena Nieto said the government also agreed to provide greater support for rural teachers colleges as well as to the families of those who were killed or wounded in the attack, and to redouble efforts to determine the students' whereabouts. On Wednesday, protesters aligned with the teachers college attended by the missing attacked the Guerrero governor's residence Chilpancingo, damaging the front gate and burning an official vehicle outside.
