Video .. A boy was found in the Texas desert

The US police managed to find a boy in a desert area near La Garrula in the state of Texas, as reported by Euronews Arabi.

A video clip was published on social media showing the 10-year-old boy asking for help from a border patrol officer, as a large group of migrants who traveled with him left him, and the boy was distraught and cried when the officer interrogated him.

The boy was taken to an immigration facility in Texas.

For their part, the US authorities said that such scenes are common, as smugglers continue to abandon children in desolate areas without regard for their safety. 

Authorities have recovered about 19,000 children who were traveling alone at the border with Mexico over the past month, the highest number ever recorded.
