Tomeka Minick explained that her daughter has had a troubled life, one that included her being a former victim of sex trafficking.
Amiyah Roach’s mother is unsure if this disappearance is connected to sex trafficking, or if her daughter was abducted. Her daughter’s disappearance is troubling since she left home on good terms. No argument took place. She also left all of her things at home — indicating that she planned to return.
Tonight, Tomeka continues to post information about her daughter on her Facebook page in the hopes that her daughter’s case will be shared and will lead to her whereabouts.
“I have asked God that if she can’t come home to us that he take her home out of that. It’s not fair for nobody’s child to go through that. She is a very smart, loving, giving girl.
“We just want her home, either way, no matter how she is.”
Earlier this year in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Dekalb County law enforcement officials aided in rescuing two minors who were victims of sex trafficking in an apartment. The two children were said to be ages 12 and 14. NBC News 11 stated that two men and a woman had been arrested in that case. No further information was provided since police believe that the perpetrators are connected to a larger sex trafficking operation. The Atlanta area was singled out as the area with the most sex trafficking cases in the U.S. The nonprofit organization 4Sarah is helping the missing girl’s mother to find her daughter. Recently, Inquisitr reported on the case of Haleigh Green, another missing African-American teen who vanished in her home town of Columbiana, Alabama.
