Prisoner feels after release to test kidney donation

A prisoner who was temporarily released from jail to be tested as a potential kidney donor for his ailing teenage son instead fled with his girlfriend to Mexico, prompting outrage on both sides of the border, officials said today.

Nearly 100 people have offered to donate their own kidneys to 16-year-old Destin Perkins, who requires dialysis twice a week. Widespread media coverage has also given authorities renewed hope that they can capture the fugitive father.
