Mexico finds 3-year-old Honduran boy near US border alone

Mexican immigration authorities said Wednesday they found a 3-year-old Honduran boy apparently wandering alone in an area near the Rio Grande. Authorities had estimated his age at 4, but found out he was younger when his father showed up to claim him.

The incident began when a government helicopter detected a group of seven children and three women hiding in bushes near the river, known in Mexico as the Rio Bravo, according to the National Immigration Institute.

The three women were traveling with their seven children in the area near the border city . . .
