Maybe child endangerment charges would be more fitting....?

So the moral of the story is it’s dangerous trying to sneak into other people’s countries? I kind of knew that already.

No.
The purpose of the story is that we all should admit complicity in the death of this child.
We must accept the obligation to make is safe for all illegals of all ages from everywhere, to make it to the U.S.

Just because.

Of course, I don't buy the guilt trip gift, but it is a common offer.

You have that right. What a bunch of propaganda.

Noemi’s parents have said little publicly. Her mother, Martha V. Quillay, who works in a hair salon, spoke briefly with a reporter, then curtailed the conversation. Her father, José Segundo Álvarez Yupa, a construction worker, said it was too difficult to discuss. “These are private matters,” he said. “This is a very painful thing. It’s all over. We want to recover, we want to move on.”

the parents should be charged with child endangerment leading to manslaughter. If they were willing to pay 15-25K, to hire a coyote, they had the money to make the journey themselves. Both the parents have cash jobs but according to the grandparents, who never should have let the child go, the children received a 't-shirt' 'a $100' here and there. This is child neglect. Sending a child with a coyote is child abuse. And it's ultimately murder. For the parents to say, "it's over...we want to move on" like ThEy are the victims !!!, just floors me beyond words. Throw them in jail where they belong.

I agree, it’s like saying “bummer.”

My take too...
