Mother of 8-year-old who died in Border Patrol custody demands justice for ignored pleas.

The mother of an 8-year-old girl who died in US Border Patrol custody in Texas said officials ignored repeated pleas from her family to hospitalize the girl, who had existing health problems and was experiencing pain and difficulty breathing. The girl, Anadith Tanay Reyes Alvarez, died Wednesday. She was from Panama and was traveling with her parents, who were from Honduras, and two older siblings. The girl's mother, Mabel Alvarez Benedicks, said agents knew the girl had a history of sickle cell anemia and heart problems, including an operation three years ago.
