Ahh...”uncle” most definitely should be in quotations since it’s not, with near certainty, an actual uncle.

So, deliver him. Arrest the mother on pickup, and deport them both.

Imagine an American parent or parents, here in the U.S. as legal as can be to be here, dragging their young children across the Sonoran or Chihuahuan desert on foot with little water or food for days. Camping under desert scrub trees among the scorpions, tarantulas and rattle snakes.

What would happen to them if the authorities found them? Think child welfare services might take an interest?
Maybe take the children into custody and take the parent/s to court to fight to get them back?

[Pearls Before Swine]

“Uncle”. Yeah, right.

WTF????

Deport them BOTH!

[lee martell]

There probably never was any ‘Uncle’.
‘The boy is used to calling any older man in charge
‘Mi Tio’.

[EinNYC]

Throw both of them out on their stinking cans.

[Retvet]

The uncle should be charged with attempted murder!

[Retvet]

The mother should be charged with reckless abandonment a child.
