Mariza Guerrero, 55, a neighbour of the family, took the photographs which were posted online.
She told local media: 'It was a very creepy situation because it was horrible to see a little boy tied hands and foot with scarves to the window of the house.'
According to the neighbours, the boy's mother tied him to the railings while the father watched.
Police are investigating whether there was any ritual aspect to the incident.
The family are known to be strict Christians.
The head of Social Communication in Veracruz, Alberto Silva Ramos, shared the photos on his Twitter profile and said:

'Such things must not be allowed to occur in modern-day Mexico.'

The woman, Olga Lidia Zavala Arias, was arrested.
