The boy can be seen walking towards the Border Patrol agent and asking for assistance because he had ben dumped near the Rio Grande.

‘It’s that I was coming with a group and they abandoned me and I do not know where they are at,’ the child told the officer in Spanish…

‘At the end they abandoned me. I have come here to ask you for help,’ the frightened boy said.

The agent asked the boy if he had been instructed ‘to come ask for help,’ but the the child replied, ‘no, I am coming because if I did not, where am I going to go? Somebody could abduct me, kidnap me. I am scared.’
