Mexico's 'Cartel Princess'

There's been widespread anger in Mexico with the daughter of a drug cartel leader, after she posted pictures of herself on Instagram.
Melissa Plancarte, who is also a singer, posed in an outfit covered in the insignia of her father's gang, The Knights Templar. Her father Enrique is one of seven leaders of the group, who control many areas of the embattled Michoacán in western Mexico.
These images have caused anger because "vigilante" groups have began fighting the cartels on the ground, and they are also now waging a social media campaign campaign against cartel leaders and their families. Mexico has a fascination with the culture associated with drug trafficking, but the pictures of the "cartel kids" showing the fruits of violence and drugs have caused anger.
