The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is trying to track down the family of a 3-year-old migrant boy found alone in Texas.
Officials say he was discovered crying in a cornfield Tuesday morning.
The agency tweeted his pictures.
The agency says his name and some phone numbers were written on his shoes.
The Border Patrol believes the boy was part of a larger group of migrants, but they split up when they ran into agents.
