U.S. Border Patrol agents found a 3-year-old boy alone in a field in Texas after likely being abandoned by smugglers at the southern border, authorities said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said late Tuesday that the boy's name and a phone number were written on his shoes when agents found him that morning. The agency said it is trying to reach the boy's family and that the boy "does not speak well enough to communicate."
CBP said Wednesday that a Border Patrol agent purchased clothing for the child and that other officers watched movies and played games with him. Most minors are usually teenagers from Central America who travel north on their own, but some are young children who arrived with an adult relative or a human smuggler. And parents carrying infants or holding the hands of young children arrive daily .
