Central American Mothers Search for Children Who Disappeared Along Migration Route to U.S. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, dozens of Central American mothers whose children went
missing in Mexico while attempting to flee violence in their home
countries are now traversing Mexico on a journey to search for their
missing children. The three-week-long Caravan of Central American
Mothers includes women from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and
Nicaragua. Their children are among the tens of thousands who disappear
each year along what experts call one of the most deadly migration
routes in the world. Speaking at a press conference in Mexico City on
Monday, Lourdes Sauzo, whose son was killed in Mexico, spoke about his
body being returned to her in pieces.

Lourdes Sauzo: "After 26 months, we received his remains, the pieces. We
did not receive all the pieces of his body. We demand that, please—not
please, but a demand—that the bodies be sent in their entirety, to
send the right remains, because bodies have been sent that don't belong
to the victim. They say it's a woman, and they send the body of a man."
