Ramos died in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, while trying to reach the United States on his own. A growing number of unaccompanied minors from Central America and Mexico are illegally trying to cross the US border. Since last October, more than 52,000 unaccompanied child migrants, two-thirds of them from Central America, have been apprehended crossing into the US, US officials said. Guatemala says around 1,550 of its emigrant children are currently in shelters in Texas and Arizona. AFP PHOTO / Johan ORDONEZ (Photo credit should read JOHAN ORDONEZ/AFP/Getty Images)
