The repatriation of Alondra Luna follows DNA tests showing that she is not the daughter of Dorotea García, who had obtained a judge’s order to get her forcibly brought to Houston.
“We are all very happy,” Luna’s mother Susana Núñez told Milenio TV, adding that she had received a phone call at dawn telling her that her daughter would be on the first flight home today.
“They stole my daughter,” Núñez said.

Yeah, I hope this doesnt become a trend to the point that we cant trust people in uniform.

You know, I saw this happen years ago, can't remember the country. The mother in the US had found the right child and some organization bombed in to take the child, a girl about 13 y/o. Even though the child was the biological daughter of the mother it was still a mistake. The girl had a very loving father, she spoke no English and did not want to leave her friends, father or country. Fortunately an agreement was made for visitation to the US but it could have been a very traumatic situation for this child even though she was the biological daughter. They need to rethink this stuff, especially if it's been like five years or more. BECAUSE, they need to take the desires of the child into account if they are no longer babies or small children.

Well, in some places in the US..... I can see this happening. The way some people dont even question authority is disturbing.
