A British dad and his wife fear their newborn baby may have been swapped by hospital staff and have sold the child to traffickers after DNA tests revealed the child they were given was not theirs.
Richard Cushworth and wife Mercedes Casanellas, who are so devastated have launched a desperate appeal to find their son after fearing he was swiped in hospital who thought his light skin would catch a high price on the black market.
The couple, who live in the United States, had traveled to El Salvador so that their offspring could be given birth to in the wife's home country.
But after giving birth, the pair decided to have a DNA test while back in the US after noticing the child did not look like either of them - and discovered to their horror that the child wasn't theirs.
"Someone took my child and I have no idea where he is, who is taking care of him, what has happened to him. Is he in the country? It's awful. We just want them to give us our son back."
Ms Casanella's obstretrician-gyneocologist, Dr Alejandra Guidos, who the couple accuse of masterminding the plot, has since been arrested.
