For many migrants from the American hemisphere, such as Mexico, America is the ultimate destination, the El Dorado, the Promised Land. It has a lot of facilities and creature comforts they long for, something they will never get in their own country.

However, reaching there is near impossible for a good number of people: it is a road to perdition as many die in the process of crossing the border.

Children suffer the most. Hundreds of them are being kept in border detention centres without adequate food, clean clothes and diapers, toothbrushes or showers.

Now, a two-year-old Honduran boy who has been found abandoned in Mexico is facing the hapless situation of also losing the great opportunity to reach the US of A.

The boy, Wilder, stole the global spotlight earlier in the week, when he was found alone on the roadside in Veracruz, Mexico.

He was all tears, as he had been separated from his father in south-eastern Mexico.

After the Mexican government circulated pictures of the child, Garcia identified herself to Honduran officials as Wilder's mother showing a document as proof.

In an interview Lorena Garcia, 23, his mother, said she was just dying to be reunited with her son, who is now under the care of the Mexicans.
