FRANKFORT, Ind. (AP) - Dozens of people are calling every day,
offering to adopt a 2-year-old boy who was abandoned by his mother
at a Wal-Mart in Frankfort. Nearly a week after employees found him
wandering alone in the store, police are still trying to locate his family.
Authorities believe the family is from Guatemala. They are using
a blurry surveillance video and a note written in Spanish identifying the boy only as Martin. The note includes his birth date and birthplace.
In the note, the boy's mother says the father had left her.
Hispanic Community Services director Zenaida Loveless says the
boy is staying with a local foster family while authorities are looking for his family. The local organization supports the migrants that make up about 40% of Frankfort's population of 16,000.
