Border Patrol captures heartbreaking video of abandoned boy

Video captured by a Border Patrol officer that is now circulating social media shows a young boy, tears streaming down his face, who had apparently been abandoned alone in the desert in Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

The child, believed to be between 10 and 12 years old, was taken to a nearby Border Patrol station. He had spent the night in the desert, full of rattlesnakes and wild animals, according to Univision.   "To all the parents who are considering sending their unaccompanied children to the border, please reconsider that act because it is very dangerous to expose children, " head of the El Paso, Texas Border Patrol sector, Gloria Chávez, told Univision in response to the minor’s case.
