Agents say they are still searching for the toddler’s parents or anyone who may be able to provide more information

Border patrol agent Dustin Araujo believes the boy was traveling with a larger group who left him behind as soon as they were encountered by the federal agents. A K-9 agent found the 3-year-old migrant alone. He was crying when agents approached him. Identified only by a phone number and his name written on his shoes.

“After agents discovered the child, they carried him out of the cornfield and took him to a local hospital where he was medically evaluated. Agents at the station tried to contact family members of the child but were not successful.”
