Mother granted visitation
rights to kidnapped baby
EDINBURG, (AP) — A
woman Wednesday was grant
ed visitation rights with the 2-
year-old boy she claims was
snatched from her at birth in a
Mexican clinic.
“I’m very glad with the re
sults,” Laura Lugo Alaniz said
Wednesday, minutes after state
District Judge Robert F. Barnes
allowed her limited visitation
with the boy, who is currently in
a McAllen foster home.
Lugo said she’s even more
pleased that the family of Pauly-
na Botello — whom she claims
stole and raised the baby — was
denied visitation rights.
“I don’t want them near my
child anymore. This is my
child. They have no bearing on
this anymore,” Lugo said.
Lugo, 27, said the baby was
stolen after a Caesarian section
at a clinic in Matamoros Sept.
2, 1992.
Ms. Botello, 33, still main
tains the child is hers, said her
attorney, Enrique Juarez.
The judge based his decision
on DNA tests indicating a
99.11 percent probability that
Lugo is the mother.
“The record also indicates
that Paulyna Botello is exclud
ed from possibility of being the
mother,” said Jaime Aleman, a
Hidalgo County assistant dis
trict attorney representing the
Texas Department of Protective
and Regulatory Services.
Aleman said a Child Protec
tive Services case worker will su
pervise Lugo’s visits, which will
begin at one hour a week.
“We want to make sure this
child meets the mother slowly
but surely under a supervised,
controlled environment,” he
said. “Our main focus is trying
to keep this child calm, safe.”

sues of her campaign platform.
“A lot of time student body
presidents shove their platform is
sues aside,” she said. “I told my
self that I would focus on my plat
form and my campaign pamphlet
hangs on my wall in my office so
that I see it everyday.”
Leslie said the Crime Stop
pers Program, which was on her
platform, will be set up in about
two weeks.
“I said I wanted to improve
public relations and Krista Kirk
land just sent off a packet of infor
mation on Bonfire to the Dallas
Morning News,” she said. ‘‘We’re
working on organizing the Leg
islative Tracking Committee and
its main job will be to take legisla
tion that is passed and make sure
it is implemented.”
Also on her platform was
adding reading days during finals.
“The extra reading days were
passed two days ago by the Facul
ty Senate,” she said.
Leslie said she wants to stress
the importance of working to
gether.
“My main point is this - I can’t
do all these things on my own.”
Leslie said she really knows
the importance of the Student
Senate.
“Every single issue I deal with,
every single program, will start
right here in this room,” she said.
Leslie compared the job of the
student government to the build
ing of Interstate 10. The inter
state was originally built with no
hills or curves to reduce highway
deaths, but it actually resulted in
more deaths.
“I tell you this because it’s very
easy to take that straight inter
state and it’s harder to find the
curves and hills,” Leslie said.“We
have to find the issues that affect
A&M students and the year will
be the best ever.”
