Mexican Government Hires Lawyer

The Mexican government has hired a lawyer to monitor a Nashville child-custody battle involving a severely brain-damaged girl.

Alessandra Villalobos, 4, is also at the center of a medical malpractice lawsuit that is seeking millions of dollars for her care.

The girl's mother, Ingrid Diaz, is a Mexican national from San Pedro Pochutla, a city on the southwest coast of Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. Diaz is in the country illegally, but her daughter is an American citizen who was born in Nashville.

Diaz is trying to regain custody of her daughter from a local nurse.

The Mexican government has come into the mix? I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

Is their motive to help Ingrid Diaz regain custody of Alessandra Villalobos, or are they thinking of getting to the settlement money?

This is a case to watch.

What I wonder is if the case is lost, will they lose interest in Alessandfra Villalobos?

Oh this is making me sick, this case is smelling so bad because if the child Alessandra Villalobos
was not in a position to generate $$$$$$$$$$$, no one would care about her! And, that folks is a fact just look around at the kids who are living in poverty, where are their guardians, hmmmmmm?
