The 16-year-old boy who died in U.S. custody April 30, days after crossing the southern border following a long and perilous trek from Guatemala "was a very nice student, intelligent, creative, but shy," according to a former teacher.
Juan de León Gutiérrez's former elementary school teacher described him as a hardworking boy who helped his father in the region's dwindling coffee fields, where drought and decreasing prices have led to debt and unemployment.
Gutiérrez was apprehended by border patrol agents near El Paso on April 19 and transported the next evening to Casa Padre, a shelter for unaccompanied migrant children in Brownsville, Texas. When he awoke on April 21, staff noticed he appeared ill, and nine days later he died in a hospital bed. The Guatemalan Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Gutiérrez died from complications from an infection in his brain's frontal lobe.
García recalled with sadness that Gutiérrez was a very motivated kid who "demonstrated ability in many things."
García said when the boy missed class he would run out to the road as García walked by to explain his absenceit was typically because his father needed help in the fields.

I guess I should not be surprised by that.
I still roll my eyes when people start talking about him and stuff.....
I mean, hey, I liked the early Beatles and some later stuff.
Worship them? Not a chance.
[ After all, he was the Walrus. ]
Poor Donnie. He didn’t realize they were talking about Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.
(I had forgotten the last name until I saw that clip)
i dont really care, the brat should not have been there
The theory I have was John was beginning to come around, and even had some kind words about Reagan.
Yoko couldn’t have that.
John got shot six times and Yoko was standing right next to him.
Sorry, but the title ‘teacher’ these days means little.
There are good ones and there are bad ones.
Check 1: If they teach man based climate change - disregard all the say about science.
Check 2: If they teach that boys can be girls and visa versa, then disregard all they have to say about mental illness and biology.
Check 3: If NEA member, disregard all they say.
He dindu nuffin. Everybody loved him. He was just turning his life around.
We need to start fighting back against these mediapuke bastards!!! We need to bombard Graham Kates and Angel Canales twitter, Facebook pages along with emailing them!! They need to feel the wrath of the American people!! Enough!! They need to be held accountable by us!!! Let’s do it!!!
Youd think theyd want to keep all their rocket-surgeons from illegally entering other countries?
I heard a comedian once joke, 18 inches to the right, he coulda been a hero.....(not JL)
What a wonderful contribution to society!
(the guy in that pic I mean)
He was a criminal illegal. His parents are guilty of child abuse and souls be arrested and incarcerated with high bail
This is typical crap lies. The actual article says:
“Gutiérrez was apprehended by border patrol agents near El Paso on April 19 and transported the next evening to Casa Padre, a shelter for unaccompanied migrant children in Brownsville, Texas. When he awoke on April 21, staff noticed he appeared ill, and nine days later he died in a hospital bed.”
He died because he was ill and was treated as soon as it was identified. It has absolutely nothing to do with being in custody for an illegal entry to the country and the US border personnel had no action that caused it. Factually, he probably got better care from our hospitals than he would have got in Mexico or his home country. Sad he died, but the US was not involved other than to try to save him which is probably more than he would have gotten if he had continued into the country. I hate liars like CBS

I’m very sorry about the child but Uncle Sugar is not the bad guy.
Now how in the HELL would this woman KNOW this illegal immigrant was so humble and SO FULL of promise how in the HELL could she possibly know him this well??? GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!
Bears repeating. Thanks.
His father brought him hr ego someone else would pay his hospital bill.
If the child dies, there are probably dozens of attorneys who will sue and the father will end up with American million$$$ and citizenship.
bottom line is that sadly the kid was probably going to die no matter what, he just happened to die on US soil.
Three migrants have died even though the border patrol has given them treatment. How many American kids have died due to drugs in that same time?
Being “full of dreams” is not a qualification for asylum. In fact, it isn’t even a qualification to be a refugee.
The president and his policies had absolutely NOTHING to do with this boy’s death.
The Deep State Media is just running psyops on America in its attempt to make as many negative associations with President Trump as it can.
Send these trespassers back to Guatemala, or whatever third-world country they are coming from, and let them fix their country. America needs to support foreign policy that helps rid the world of socialism so that countries like Guatemala will have happy and prosperous citizens who do not feel the urgent need to risk life and limb to flee to America, the land of opportunity.
