The father of the 8-year-old migrant who died on Dec. 25 took the boy with him on the dangerous trek from Guatemala to the United States because he heard a rumor that it would help him enter the country.

“We heard rumors that they could pass (into the United States). They said they could pass with the children,” Catarina Gomez Lucas, the dead boy’s 21-year-old stepsister, told the Associated Press.
