Santa Jesus

NPR has the story of Jesus Cortova. He is an illegal immigrant, who was sneaking into the US. He came upon a 9-year boy, wandering barefoot in the desert. It turns out that the boy's mother had driven their van off a cliff. The boy had gotten out of the crash. The mother was still trapped.
The boy led Cortova back to the crash site. He kept the boy on the road while he checked out the crash. The mother was still alive, but he couldn't enter the van. Instead, he built a fire, with the intent of attracting the authorities.
The authorities arrived. The young boy was safely returned to his father. The mother did not survive.
Jesus Cortova was detained and returned to Mexico.
