Amber Alert Issued for Missing 2-Year-Old NYC Girl

Описание: An Amber Alert has been issued for a New York City toddler they say was taken by her father, who does not have custody and is not allowed to be with her alone.

Seniya Benitez, a 2-year-old girl with autism from the Bronx, was last seen shortly before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in her home on Gleason Avenue.
