I'm so very sorry that people feel they in have to try to get through the Rio Grande for a better life.
He was still just a kid. Seeking peace, that's all.

I hope his loved-ones will be located soon, but at the same time, this is the worst possible outcome.

I feel two (at least) countries are failing these kids.
My opinions.
Rest in peace, young man.
