Seems like a desperate attempt to give the boy a better life.

Sadly that's probably the best thing for that child

[jamiechristylivechat]

This breaks my heart. That baby probably misses his mom so much.

Thank You so much for helping the baby!!! What a shame for the people from my country doing this stupid thing!! So sad and mad about this.

No parent should feel like they need to leave their child for a better life truly sad wish the young man the best

[mlea]

I pray somebody that will raise him and loves him will adopt him!

You can tell the border agent is a Father. His eyes beaming with compassion and love! Some people don’t realize how many agents have a rescuer humanitarian mindset! I believe in the wall but when you’re down there and picking up innocent children all politics go out the window and the only thing you can do is take these little tykes in and give them the tender love and care they need. Though the adults may bring drugs and crime over which I oppose strongly these children haven’t a clue what’s going on.

I'm glad the kid is safe. I hope they either find his family, or he gets taken care of by a loving family

This is absolutely disgusting! America is not all honey and milk. These kids get physically, sexually and emotionally abused in the foster care system.

Wow this kid will have a hell of a time in health and human services in our country. I'll say my prayers

[andrewmartin]

I pray the southern countries will get their governments under control so all those people can feel safe where they live.

So sad. Someone decided to give him a better life, even if it meant giving him up. The ultimate sacrifice.

The agent looks like a loving person, the way the child lays his heas on the agents shoulder they both seem happy with each other👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[greenknight]

Imagine this being one of the child’s first memories. It’s gut wrenching.

I pray someone that needs a child to love and raise gets this beautiful baby boy

[suzanconner]

My God. I can only imagine someone so desperate to save this child's life that they are left on a bridge. I pray this is the beginning of his new life filled with love and kindness . ❤

[jessiesanguesa]

I hope one day he will see his parents again. I hope a family will love him and raise him right.

[jessicas]

As a mom of 2, I can not imagine being away from my kids. We don’t fully know the story behind this child’s life but this aches my heart so bad. Poor baby doesn’t know what is going on. He is probably feeling scared and lonely. I pray he finds a loving home. 🙏😔

The border agent was very kind to save the toddlers life.

Did smuggler do that because the parents didn't make it themselves? How unbelievably tragic to have to abandon your child
