Child Left at Border in Crisis | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico’s Attorney General is suing the Children, Youth and Families Department after a 15-year-old boy with a heart condition was allegedly abandoned at the U.S.-Mexico border—left alone at night to cross into Mexico—following a dropped abuse complaint against his mother. Despite his objections to living with her, CYFD forced reunification, ignoring his medical needs and safety. The boy fled, ended up homeless, and was eventually returned to Mexico, where he ran away again. The lawsuit seeks to ensure his safe return and stop CYFD from prioritizing reunification over child welfare, exposing a troubling pattern of neglect.
