Journey For Justice Dec 9th, Day 9: La Bestia Guatamala to Juarez a mother and her 2 year old baby girl
After a couple days of this kind of dangerous travel, her daughter got sick. The mother couldn't find help for her daughter and holds her close, getting ready to jump on the next train. Other migrants try to help her but there is no doctor, no medicine and her daughter is getting sicker.
She is trapped. She cannot return nor can she allow the Mexican authorities to find her.
When she tries to give her toddler a few drops of water from an empty plastic water bottle, she realizes her baby is dead.
She begins screaming, her voice so anguished it carries over the entire length of the freight train. People try to help her, try to take her dead child but she refuses to let go of her baby and continues to wail the entire rest of the way to the final stop.
