A baby who was separated from his parents as part of Donald Trump's controversial immigration policy did not recognise them when they were finally reunited.
For months, baby Johan's Honduran parents watched their only son grow up in videos while he was kept in US government custody.
That is how they saw him take his first steps and spoke his first words.
The parents were reunited the 15-month-old boy on Friday, five months after US immigration officials forcibly separated the baby from his father at the Texas border.
Johan initially did not recognise his mother and father after he was flown to San Pedro Sula in Honduras.
"I kept saying Johan, Johan, and he started to cry," said his mother, Adalicia Montecinos. "He suffered everything that we have been suffering."
His father soon won him over by playing a ball game with him. Within an hour, the boy was laughing and kissing his parents, they said.
Johan was earlier widely pictured in media after he appeared a US courtroom in a nappy, becoming a kind of poster child for the highly criticised separation policy.
Captured by Border Patrol agents almost instantly upon arrival, Johan's father, Rolando Antonio Bueso Castillo, 37, was deported - and the 10-month-old remained at an Arizona shelter, in the custody of the US government.
He did not expect to be separated from his son. "I never thought they could be so cruel," he said.
