Summary: 

In order to better protect migrant children, Mexico has created a unique model for the Protection of Unaccompanied Migrant and returnee children and adolescents. The model includes the creation of a specialized corps of child protection officers (in Spanish: Oficial de Protección a la Infancia, OPI) within the National Migration Institute (INM).
