Mexican government begins search for a deserted migrant kids family

On Tuesday, the Mexican government expressed that they are looking for the family members of a 2-year-old kid who was found abandoned near a truck that had brought more than 100 migrants in cramped conditions.

According to a report by UNICEF, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise in unaccompanied migrant kids and the entry of complete families has put critical pressure on Mexican humanitarian centers.

The kid was found standing alone without a shirt surrounded by half-empty water bottles, snacks, and scattered clothes from other migrants, black trash bags on the road.

Veracruz state lawyer for the security of children and teenagers, Lutgarda Madrigal stated it was still unclear where the kid was from.
