The world needs to know! The human rights crimes committed by the dictatorship of Pinochet, who many still in Chile worship, are despicable. The stolen babies are thousands! As the tortured, killed, missing Chileans….
Where’s the next patt
5:57 the 1st question that arises in every mother's heart🤧
This is so sad. But amazing to know they found each other. I would be devastated knowing this happened to me.
I wish him and his family the best of luck 🤞🏼
So sad for mother and son. Happy they finally reunited.
How horrible it’s when a dictatorship takes over a country! The abuses of the riches families in Chile, continues. They are still deciding for the poor, they never had respect for them, the natives in Chile are treated like they are not human! For the aristocratic rich people the natives should disappear! This is one sample out of many!!
His mother loves him dearly. This scenario is inhumane and in happens in every country. There is no accountability in the hospitals, they can do no wrong. That is the perception that they is placed on people and it is done on purpose. I hope he moves forward in a peaceful manner and creates another life with his mother, father and siblings. There are so many children that are stolen especially in usa and there is no accountability because everyone especially in the government is involved in the kidnapping and sex trafficking of children. I bless this wonderful man with love, peace and happiness. God loves you dearly and he knows of everything. Enjoy your family in Texas and your family in Chile🙂😇😇😇🙂💛💛💛
who would he have been if he wasn't stolen? … he seems like he grew up well.
Imagine the things that we still don't know about our own government.
but did he grow up good tho?
Gosh, I’ve turned back to say…This young man is a spitting image of his Mom, he’s even walking like his Mom! Just look at it, that is exactly the same walk!!! Look at them from the back while holding each other’s hand, …look how the same and synchronized their walking is!!! Yeah, yeah… So true! Blood is no water! I am so glad they’ve found each other! A Mother and a Son!!!
😭
The Chile government isn't the only one doing this. There's stories from china, usa, etc. of babies being kidnapped and sold. Not all of them will be in loving homes
This is heartbreaking and extremely upsetting. I remember learning about this in high school but never saw a story on it in US news until now. I cant help but feel that he missed out on a lot of love, culture and expression.
Well,… Don’t know what to say…what a story! A story with happy ending! This young man’s lucky that’s for sure!!! I am so happy that he’s happy and that he managed to close the circle with a help of two wonderful women who Both are his Mothers for good! He was lucky that he’s been raised and grew up in a wonderful, normal very warm family! It was a luck in a luck! And, I am so happy for this young man! I am from Serbia, now living in USA, and I have a son who’s of the same age as this man! The kidnappings like this were happening in my country right at the time when I was in the hospital where I gave a birth to my son. I hardly waited for me and my son to live the hospital cos I was concerned about them kidnapping my baby boy! This young man was lucky enough and still is cos his Both Mothers are wonderful carrying Mothers and human beings! I wish them All everything the Best from the bottom of my heart! May they All Be Blessed!!!
I can’t stop crying omg this is by far the most heartbreaking thing ever
As an adoptee from a foreign country my heart goes out to Tyler and his birth family. Fortunately all of the pain they went through brought them back together again. I hope they are able to stay connected for life ❤️
This was something needed by addressed illegal adoptions are more common than you think….
They took his heritage from him
They took these kids from the slums and gave them to upscale families? They possibly saved these kids? They should be given a Nobel!
I feel this to the core of my being! 😢🙏❤
I am happy for him, and so sad for the mothers who suffered. His lovely wife probably could always sense some sadness in him, even though he had loving adoptive parents. Wishing you two much happiness in your married life and families now. And thank you for you community service. You are brave and strong.
This was so heartbreaking it made me cry so much. I hope they get to spend a lot of time together.
The way she says "my son" every time she is referring to him is so heart warming ❤ she is so proud of him!
