Federal officials are trying to track down the mother of a two-year-old girl who was found strapped to the chest of a 17-year-old boy traveling with a group of illegal immigrants just north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Some of the members were questioned and claimed to be part of the Central American caravan, federal officials said. The mother “became tired and asked if one of the group members could carry her daughter,” the teen told authorities. When the group got to the U.S.-Mexico border, the toddler was still strapped to him. After being stopped by federal officials, the little girl was taken to a local youth holding facility.
