Cousins! A statewide search is underway as officials investigate the kidnapping of a young South New Jersey girl at the hands of her mother!
According to West Deptford Police Department, Athena Worthy-Miles was last seen on Saturday, June 17th around 3 PM. The little girl was picked up by her biological mother Diasia Serrano-Worthy at her grandmother’s home located at 338 74th St., North Bergen. An official court order details that Diasia does not have legal custody of Athena.
Reports read that Diasia has not yet attempted to return her daughter and has seemingly disconnected her cell phone and all other forms of contact since Saturday. Officials state that no family member has been able to reach her as of yet either.
Diasia is said to have no confirmed address on file or known address by her family. She is said to frequently travel within the areas of Bergen County and New York City — specifically within Brooklyn.
West Deptford Police Department has also released an official statement regarding the missing child on Facebook:
