El Salvador's stolen children
During El Salvador's brutal civil war soldiers abducted children in rebel-held areas. This is the story of one of those children.
In 1994 investigators in El Salvador located the first of several hundred children who'd disappeared more than a decade earlier during the country's brutal civil war. There had been rumours that the children had been kidnapped by the army. Mike Lanchin has been speaking to Elsy Dubon who was taken from her family as a child, and to the investigator who helped to find her.
