Some odd/suspicious details:
"Mother" wearing Elsa t-shirt (several sizes too small) - signal to potential customers?
"Mother" bears no physical resemblance to children
"Mother's" rough grip of child's wrist in both photos - distinctly unmaternal (although what kind of mother drags her young children 2000 miles across Central America)
Child aged at least 4 or 5 wearing diapers
Child's fingers stuck in wiffle ball - some form of punishment?
"Mother" wearing orange wristband (but not children)

@Mad_as_hell, do you have the source link for these photos? I think you right -- these are highly suspicious.

Why do you view these as suspicious?
You just invented some signal based on a poor woman wearing clothing that doesn't fit well? Seriously? There have been news reports of migrants getting donations while in Tijuana. They have limited how many people can apply for asylum per day, so migrants are staying up to a month in camps in Tijuana. It's probably a donated shirt. That's a much more likely scenario than a tight shirt is a signal.
This is based on several assumptions and you have no idea who the father of the children is.
Unmaternal? This is rich. A mother getting her kids out of range of tear gas? And you're criticizing the grip she's using. Are you kidding? Kids who don't know what tear gas is? You don't think a maternal instinct is grab your kids and get them out of there? This seems like a primal maternal instinct.
As a little kid I once almost stepped in front an oncoming car, my grandmother grabbed me by my hair and yanked me back. This item might be the most ridiculous.
probably a desperate one.
This is weird. But as you noted the child has been on the move and is in foreign country drinking local water. Diarrhea seems to be a possibility.
OMG. Come on. Have you ever played with a whiffle ball? that's pretty common. I have no clue why you think the child's finger's are "stuck." I have no clue why you think that would be punishment. A more likely explanation, is this toy is one of the kid's very few possessions and he is holding it that way because he doesn't want to lose it.
Um, And?

You always ignore the most solid points and work to "debunk" the less solid ones. Like that thread where you took on the crumbs but repeatedly ignored the cake sliced house. I see you didn't comment on the fact that the children in no way look like they could possibly be related to the lady... They're white kids with Sandy colored hair. She's obviously Latino. Dark skin and hair. So why does they have almost blonde hair and fair skin? You can't tell me you believe those are her own kids....

I mean....... look at kids with white mothers and black fathers....

Blonde hair is resessive... It doesn't come out of thin air, it has to have a grandparent or parent that produced it... I mean their father or grandparents could have been white I suppose, but they look nothing at all like their mom let's just say that..

You sure they're white? They look like they were born with surfer skin. Mom's hair is dark, however my mother had blond hair in highschool and now has dark hair and I'm still blond as an Aryan. A light father, Mom being a farmer in the sun, it's not that unlikely. I personally believe the photo is staged though. And if it is..... how do you know those are her kids and not three actors thrown together?

That's my point, they don't look to be her kids. Why? Who knows.. could be staged, could be trafficked..
