Children in the mountain village of Ayahulatempa, Mexico, who usually tend to livestock are handed firearms and dressed up like community policemen when journalists visit the area, the Associated Press reported Monday.

The children cover their faces with handkerchiefs and line up in the town’s basketball court in a display meant to draw attention to organized violence in the area, according to the AP. Most of the children are unarmed during their patrols, which many forgotten communities have resorted to in order to bring organized crime to the federal government’s attention.
