Photos: 8 Year Old Boy Found In Suitcase At Spanish Border
How can you risk your child’s life this way? An 8-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast survived several hours locked in a suitcase, bundled in a fetal position, as his family tried to smuggle him into Spain. But they didn’t succeed as police officers discovered him in the suitcase via scan on Thursday May 7 in El Tarajal, a terrestrial point of entry at Spain’s border with Morocco.
The boy, who is now in Spanish custody, is believed to have spent many hours in the pink, medium-sized polyester suitcase, pressed against a few personal belongings.
“He was shocked when we opened the suitcase to see so many people looking at him,” a Spanish police spokesman told CNN. He also said the boy is in good condition.
The police spokesman said police officers in El Tarajal became suspicious when a 21-year-old woman, a Moroccan National, showed signs of nervousness as she attempted to cross the border wheeling the suitcase down the street.
“Our officers asked her if she needed help as the wheels began to give in,” the spokesman said
Suspecting a drug smuggling case, police brought the suitcase in for an x-ray. That is when they found the boy.
He was immediately taken to a state child custodian and awaits judicial process, the official said.
A man who is apparently his father, identified as A.O., was arrested a few hours after the boy was found. The man, who has permanent residency in Spain, awaits formal charges
The spokesman said this is the first time they have found this type of smuggling, in which a child was locked into a container.

Christianity, like all religion, is man-made, and therefore imperfect and subject to abuse. Religions have a lot in common with scams in how they work.

How does Christianity come in this story? If you play with God you will soon be visited and realize you wasted time but it will be too late.
Sorry for the boy. I wish his parents followed the right procedure of taking him to Italy.
