NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Mexican government has hired a lawyer to monitor a child-custody battle in Nashville involving a severely brain-damaged Hispanic girl.
The child, 4-year-old Alessandra Villalobos, is also at the center of a medical malpractice lawsuit that could provide millions of dollars for her care.
The girl's mother, Ingrid Diaz, is a Mexican national trying to regain custody of her daughter, who is an American citizen because she was born in Nashville.
Attorney Elliott Ozment says the Mexican consul in Atlanta has asked him to investigate and make sure Diaz is being "adequately represented" in her legal battles.
Diaz is an illegal immigrant, but she has been allowed to remain in the U.S. while the cases are under way.
