A six-year-old boy whose mum was feared to have sold him is now presumed to be dead, authorities have said.
Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was last seen in October 2022 at a hospital when his mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, was there to give birth to twins.
On March 20, the Texas Department of Family Services asked police to conduct a welfare check on Noel, but he was not found at the family's home in Everman, south of Fort Worth, Texas.
