News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Bitter custody battles have some parents running for the border.

Parental abductions happen more often than you might think, and Mexico is a favorite hiding place.

Greg Allen treasures his memories.

“She looks so young,” he said.

The moments captured on home video are some of the last images the Texas father has of his daughter Sabrina.

She disappeared four years ago with is ex-wife.

Most of his cases, like Allen’s, involve parents who defy custody orders by crossing the border.

“There are resort communities down there; there are a lot of English-speaking people down there,” Klein said. “They can blend into the community.”

The growing number of Americans living in Mexico makes it an attractive hiding place for parents on the run.

According to U.S. officials, there are more than 200 such cases.
