Five unaccompanied minors, all under 7 years old, were abandoned overnight on a farm near the Rio Grande River along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a Texas couple who found the children on their land Sunday morning.

“This baby and four others under four years old dumped like trash by the river on our farm! All alone, all night, no food no water no adult…nothing…” Kate Coleman Hobbs wrote in a Facebook post, along with photos and videos of the girls sitting on a dirt road.
