MEXICO CITY A 2-year-old boy abducted in June in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas has been found and returned to his mother, officials said Friday.
San Cristobal de las Casas city councilman Emiliano Villatoro confirmed the recovery of Dylan Esa via Twitter.
The search for Dylan, who was led away from a market where his mother worked by a young girl on June 30, led investigators in July to break up a child trafficking ring and recover 23 children, but not Dylan. Investigators said at the time that the children were forced to sell trinkets in the streets of the picturesque colonial city and housed in poor conditions.
His mother traveled to Mexico City to draw attention to her search in July.
The Chiapas Attorney Generals Office found the boy Dylan Esau and he is already with his mother, who did not rest a single day until she got him back, Villatoro wrote.
Officials didn’t immediately give details of how he was found, but the state prosecutor’s office scheduled a news conference for later.
