Mistaken: Teenager Forcefully Flown To US Return To Family

The moment Mexican Alondra Luna Nunez a fourteen years old was taken was captured on video where she was seen screaming as officers push her into a police vehicle in the central state of Guanajuato.
The images went viral on social media and gripped Mexico.

Alondra was then flown to Texas, to a woman who thought she was her daughter.

But a DNA test on the girl has proved they are not related - and she has finally been allowed to go back to her real parents.

"Ask me all the questions you want tomorrow. Right now, I want to be with my parents," Alondra told a group of journalists who were waiting for her on her arrival at Guanajuato airport.

Her parents are considering taking legal action against the officials and judge who gave the order to allow police to snatch their daughter and transport her to Texas.

"I want to enjoy being with my daughter. Thank you all for supporting us," her father Gustavo Luna said.

"Right now, what I want is to speak with my daughter," he said. "I think that all the authorities involved in this were wrong." 

The girl herself holds no grudge against the woman from Texas - Dorotea Garcia - and said she hoped she finds her daughter.

"She told me to forgive her for everything she had done to us," Alondra said. 

Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement that the case dated back to 2007 when the authorities received a request from the woman in Texas for the return of a child whose father, the woman said, had taken her to Mexico.

US officials in March this year told their Mexican counterparts the mother had been to Guanajuato and, after an eight-year-search, identified the girl - Alondra - as her daughter.

She said the girl had the same scar between the eyebrows as her daughter had.

The foreign ministry insisted it was "just acting as a facilitator" at the start of court proceedings.
