Alondra Luna Nunez's Family Celebrates Her Return To Mexico

A day after she returned to Mexico, Alondra Luna Nunez's family celebrated the event by having a barbecue on Thursday at the home of the teen's aunt in Guanajuato.

Streamers and balloons greeted the 14-year-old who was forced to go to Houston, Texas, and stay with a woman who claims she was her long-lost daughter. According to Alondra, Dorotea Garcia and her relatives apologized to her for the hassle she went through before she went back to Mexico.

Garcia, whose daughter Alondra Diaz Garcia is still missing, said she is aware that many people would condemn her for disrupting the life of a Mexican family and causing trauma to the Mexican Alondra.

"The people who know me don't need me to give an explanation for what happened..." AP quotes Garcia as saying. "Whatever explanation I give won't change the minds of people in Mexico or here."

However, Mexican Judge Cinthia Elodia Mercado was not even apologetic for her wrong decision in favoring Garcia despite the Nunez couple presenting the birth certificate, baptismal certificate and baby photos of Alondra as proof she is their daughter. She also rejected Alondra's challenge to have a DNA test to confirm her identity.

Mercado insisted that her only job in the case was to resolve whether the missing child needed to be returned to her true family or not.

"We, as judges, are only responsible to resolve this case with respect to recovering the minor," Mercado added. "We don't do investigations or make inquiries."

A DNA test in the U.S., ordered by the Mexican consulate, worked in favor of Alondra.

Mercado even erred in the facial scar that Garcia initially claimed was the key to identifying her lost daughter. Alondra's scar, sustained in an accident with a remote-control car when she was a young girl, is on the bridge of her nose, while it was between the eyebrows of Garcia's real daughter, reports Daily Mail.

Her parents are now considering filing a lawsuit over what happened to their daughter whose video of being dragged screaming from the sala of Mercado became viral on the internet.

Susana Nunez, Alondra Luna's mother, said she felt angry and powerless when her daughter was forcibly taken by Interpol agents. During the time that Alondra was in Texas, she said that she could not eat or sleep.
