USA Today investigative reporter Gina Barton shows discrepancies in the way cases of missing white and Black girls are handled by media and police.DETROIT — A 14-year-old girl who was reported missing over a year ago by her foster parents has been found hiding in a hallway closet in Michigan, authorities said.
"She was ecstatic about that," Watson told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network."She was afraid that if she was found, she would go back in the system. ... She was just, 'I wanna be with my dad. I wanna be with my dad.'"How the pregnant teenager was found "They wouldn't let us in. They wouldn't allow us to speak with anyone in the house, which were huge red flags for us," Watson said."The lady said, 'Come back with a search warrant.' So we did."
Watson noted that he did not suspect that the Michigan house was the scene of human trafficking operation, nor could he figure out why the occupants were lying. Watson noted that authorities are pursuing parental kidnapping charges against the girl's biological mother, who previously lost custody of her daughter. He said authorities believe the mother found her daughter after she ran away, and started bouncing the girl around house to house, with the child ultimately falling into the wrong crowd.
