Mexico finds 370 abandoned immigrant children

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - In one week, 370 immigrant children, most of them from Central America, were found abandoned in Mexico, after traffickers promised to take them to the United States but left them to their own devices after being paid thousands of dollars, authorities said.

Almost half of them, 163 children under the age of 18, were found travelling alone, Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) said in a statement.
