The little boy was abandoned on July 22, 2024 in a hotel in Piedras Negras , Coahuila .
The National Migration Institute (INM) managed the repatriation of a three-year-old child who was abandoned in a Mexican hotel.

Police entered the bedroom and found only the child, no adults, and the family's passports were also found.
A Russian couple rented the room on the same day that authorities found the minor alone.
The Attorney General's Office of the State of Coahuila carried out the corresponding investigations, but so far the parents have not been located.
