What began as vocal disdain and distrust of the Mexican government has now snowballed into a growing frustration with Canadian politicians for Carmen De Prisco, whose son Adam was killed in Mexico under suspicious circumstances.

"I hate being a Canadian because I haven't seen nobody from the government doing anything at all. They don't care," the grieving mother vented.  

Despite a Canadian coroner's report that corroborated Mexican claims that the teen was killed after being struck by a car, the family maintains he was beaten to death after dancing with a local man's girlfriend at a popular nightclub.

They are not wavering from their stance that Adam was murdered, but say they want to focus on planning a funeral and grieving their loss.

"I think it's affecting everybody right now because we know he's ready to go. He's in our hands," said Adam's brother Tony.   "The viewing is tomorrow and Wednesday and Thursday."

Foreign Affairs minister Peter MacKay says he will be speaking with Mexican officials, but Adam's mother says she plans to head to Mexico herself to get to the bottom of what happened to her son.

"I'm not putting this to rest, no," she adds.

Over the past 12 years, 28 Canadians have been killed in Mexico.
