South AfricaThe mother of a missing 6-year-old girl in South Africa was arrested and charged Thursday with kidnapping and selling or trafficking her daughter.
- In the days after Joslin’s disappearance in February, local media reported that neighbors had accused her mother of selling her for just over $1,000
- The discovery of a child’s discarded clothing near Joslin’s home last weekend heightened emotions.
- The girl, Joslin Smith, has still not been found and police renewed calls for “every citizen, every person” to help find her amid fears she may have been taken to a different city or even out of the country.
Credible sources confirm that her mother, Racquel Chantel Smith has now been charged with kidnapping and human trafficking offenses along with three others, two men and a woman. One of the men is Smith’s boyfriend. She claimed she left Joslin with him on Feb. 19 while she went to work.
