The 10-year-old boy’s uncle says Wilton and his mother made it to the U.S. after their long trek from Nicaragua before being deported, then kidnapped in Mexico. The family says it was able to pay off Wilton’s $5,000 ransom, but his mother is still being held captive.

New Details On Migrant Boy Who Approached Border Patrol Agents | NBC Nightly News
So the pair were caught and deported to Mexico but they were kidnapped. The family then gave a 5k ransom and the kidnappers brought the boy back into the US but abandoned him in Texas? Are you sure that wasn’t coyotes that were paid off but then dumped him? Why would kidnappers bring hm all the way to Texas?
So if they have legit family in the US why are they immigrating illegally in the first place ,their family should have respected procedure and helped them…Having said that I wish no ill to any especially those falling victims to predatory criminals.
will the government of these countries ever get there sh***t together? lol? no?…
Is the uncle in the country legally
.
I PRAYED TO TO GOD THAT THE MOTHER BE FOUND. IM GLAD THE BOY HAS AN UNCLE IN THE US. AND SOMEONE PAYS THE RANSOM FOR THE MOTHER..
This what happens when you reward those who came illegally via DACA
White white people thinks they are bad people. FYI California and Texas was part of Mexico long time ago…. so its their land but white people took it from them
It is is scary being lost. When l was 12 hrs, and see l didn’t know English.l was only lost for 10hrs. Crying. Running from dogs. Until l saw one house in the country. And the lady there asked me .Where I live. I didn’t know what to say so l decided to keep walking .l decided ty turn back little by little l found the way back to the house l stayed overnight.ll hot home ,5pm.. lts a sad feeling.

Why would you blur the mothers face out if she was kidnapped? Wouldn’t you want people to see her in case someone see’s her and can report it. So they can save her.

We are our own worse enemy,COVID has brought out the worse in us! We have to do better before the problem becomes normal.
Welcome to America.
I wonder who is directing that propaganda movie
The biden harris border catastrophe is what evil looks like…

People getting kidnapped, on their way to illegally enter the USA, is a problem that these southern countries need to deal with. If you cannot prevent your women from being ravaged what good are you to the USA? At some point the fight must be taken to the devil. You cannot run from it forever. You run from it and bring it to the USA. In so doing the devil will gain a more entrenched position here. If we do not fight evil in the western hemisphere soon and wherever we find it we will all be overcome.
This never happened under Trump.
The kid deserves to live the American dream.
https://youtu.be/00nw5uX6lg8 k
The american dream doesn’t exist anymore
My heart breaks for him. He kinda looks like my sonephew. Even cries like him.
https://youtu.be/00nw5uX6lg8 k
Lord Jesus you said that you will come again one day you will give every man his just reward.

The child will grow up to become a monster seeking and wreaking revenge and hatred on the society that tore his family apart.
He is cherished now for his plight but the moment his adolescence changes into young adulthood he will be shaped by forces of incarceration and imprisonment and be another number forgotten and buried until the next politician uses him as a means to get your vote. The only time we will remember him is when he is shown in shackles entering a court room.
He is the victim in this and his family left Nicaragua because not enough of the riches of Nicaragua stay in Nicaragua to keep them there would lead to investigations and expose wrongdoing giving wind to the sails of a Comprehensive Immigration Policy. Better that children lose everything than a handful of lawless policymakers go to jail.
Its sad. If the country isn’t corrupt and poor, kids don’t have to cross the border in a such tragic ways. Pray to all of them.
Delta ought to offer free plane tickets to kids and ensure they are home safely with their parents.
This breaks my heart 💔💔 💔 poor child 🥺
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
May this poor child find his way home…
God bless the children and the ppl suffering. Smh. my heart goes out to the less fortunate. There are ppl who can help these situations but choose not to. Smh. God help them. I wish I could hug that boy though. I will keep him in prayer. Frfr
Social services must get involved and child protection teams to make sure the children are looked after and do not get victim of paedophiles or people who will use them as slaves.
In 2015 I was looking after refugee children.
The Jugendamt went to the centers and checked how the children were taken care of, made sure they were not being taken advantage of or sexually abused.
A group of volunteer workers brought them food, games, football, clothes and it seems to have paid off.
The children are now 6 yrs older, ho to kindergarten or school and speak German.
Many are my patients.
It was a tough time and I was visiting the camps daily and checking the refugee children for medical signs and sending them to hospitals if they needed urgent care.
It is very important for the American people not to look away but tackle the situation also from the aspect of child protection and medical and health needs.
Somebody help him now
May God continuously cover you baby boy , my heart breaks for all 🥀
Crisis Actor! Waaaaaaaaaauuuuuuggh
has the border patrol agent who filmed this kid been fired, your not supposed to take videos of undocumented people you are going to detain and post on social media
Prayers for the mother’s safety as well
That poor child. His poor mother.
What a world.
Yo AOC where you @ ?
“When I’m president come! Come! All are welcome!” – President Biden #Impeach
Let me guess you one of those who would kick that kid back into his country knowing they waiting to make an example out of him?!
Heartbreaking!!
😭
Joe Biden should already be in PRISON.
Why joe….why do you want all these kids?
Breaks my heart 😢
The children all over the world with no parents will get help from Joe Biden once they cross the border. It’s the drug cartel parenting program.
This will be Bidens legacy
Legalize all drugs
I don’t trust the uncle.
But on the other hand- what a great cover story to smuggle your relatives into the country.
Drop the kids over a fence, claim they were abducted, while claiming their parents are still missing, so naturally it makes sense to place the children with any relatives in the US.
Now the parents can try to make their way into the country unencumbered by small children.
(I’m not saying this IS what happened here, but it is definitely a possible scenario.)
It’s sad that these children are placed in such a dangerous position.
this is sad times, but I hope biden knows what he’s doing; with jacobson’s resignation, i have a feeling he wants americans to foot the bill of this border disaster
He’s looking for ceviche
He’s “in U.S. custody”? Can’t he be with that uncle or the rest of the family that came up with the ransom? They obviously care what happens to him.
Well done!Joe Biden!
I have lived and worked in Mexico for 3 years. There are plenty of Americans expats living and retiring in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua – the South American continent.. How come the cartels, smugglers, or gangs are after them? You got to have some money to live/retire there, right? All Americans think for a minute. I don’t believe this story a bit!
America spends 50 years destabilizing South America and now has surprised Pikachu face that there are hordes of people fleeing to a more stable country.

Biden ! All this suffering is your fault you sorry SOB !
I do not believe the uncle story. Did they contact the Police .
I just wanted to give him a huge hug to comfort him. This breaks my heart. So happy he’s safe. Hope the mother is found soon.
My heart breaks 💔 for this sweet young little boy.
I pray our beautiful LORD protects and comforts him. 🙏🏼
I thank the CBP finding him and giving him shelter food water while they try to connect him with his family! ✝️✝️🙏🏼
These Trump Supporters make America boring.
Better to annex those counties with USA
DOES BIDEN REALIZE THERE IS A CRISIS NOW LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID ?
This is in many ways Biden’s fault.
To the Democratic administrations how much more of this has to continue. Before you step in !!!Stop it
man my heart just broke…this sweet poor boy i pray he reunites with his mother!!!!
The unlawful inhumane policies from the prior administration 45 of Deporting people into Mexico only fuel cartels and human smuggler.
Biden’s Katrina.
I don’t believe the mother and the boy got kidnapped sounds like BS they just wanna justify their actions and horrible parenting skills and choices.
BIDEN BORDER DISASTER – CREATED BY BIDEN
IMPEACH 46 !
Just STUPID.
Poor kiddo. Can’t imagine😐
No wonder he told the officer he was afraid of being kidnapped . He had just been kidnapped.
1:06 well so much for that, “wall”..
Why did his parents do that to him?
Idiots..
Go home. Not our responsibility! We habe our own children, homeless and veterans that need help
Democrats are the party of abortions; think they really care about these children and their abuses?!!
Kamilla is MIA- her back turned in embarrassment.
Ole communist autocratic Biden in hiding again .
His absence SPEAKS VOLUMES
Over the wall they come by the thousands and black ppl can’t get help of any kind from these colonizers every body else can swim sneek and fly here and get all kinds of help right right 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
See what u get 4 coming here illegally now they r paying the price
Maybe next u would think twice coming back over here
So where does he mention his mother who traveled with him? Something does not add up. The uncle says money is required to free her. But the boy does not mention his mother at all in what I saw.
way to go biden look what you are doing to peoples lives
Give that boy and this man a DNA test, then I’ll believe this story. Nice try though.
So sad. I pray for this boy. I can imagine how he feels and how overwhelmed he is feeling. Prayers to all of these children and teens who are facing this alone.
I pray that Allah will bless this young boy, All Praise To Allah, the most powerful God.
They need to stay where they came from, this is probably all the setup.
well, i am skeptical.. when asked where are your mother father uncle–the boy responded–WHAT?
THE PARENTS NOT ACCOUNTABLE!!! BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS PARTY FAULT!!!!
Many of them border patrol agents are pedophiles
just a couple of years ago the world saw the image of a dead 3-year-old Syrian boy who drowned when the boat carrying his family to refuge sunk. Now we see this 10-year-old child on our own soil. Humans are such a cruel species. Definitely NOT made in the Image of G-D.
I am glad Biden says they are planning on filling some gaps in the wall.
Please stop this 😭
This hurts!!! Wish I can just hold him
They should had stayed in their own home country period, this is why you do not come to the USA illegally and drag your kids into it also
Kid should be sent right back to his home country, they have orphanages in other countries and the catholic church organizations, just like USA has. So he can be taken back to his home country that he is a legal citizen of, and the family in USA can do the proper procedures to have a him allowed to enter the USA, just like every other foreigner has done lawfully.
He didn’t leave his country on nice little stroll to the US 🤦🏽♂️ theres a reason why they’re leaving everything behind for this country.. but I wouldn’t expect your entitled American mindset to understand anyways
whole world is fked up😡
Human tragedy and the coverup is tragic as well. Reporters are kept out for the first time ever in the wrose border mess ever. Drug cartels thrilled and being enriched over the mess they profit with.
We live in a world of evil
How can someone do this to little boy
OMG, I hope this little boy is ok. May God Bless him.
These children will grow up a problem adults and us will suffer these crisis
Can Mexico gives the US the keys already.
Please.. everyone pray for him and all the children.. I pray for him every night. My heart aches.. God bless you sweet child🧡💛
Nearly half a century in politics and Biden is screwing up
im sorry guy
