As the outlet also reported, authorities began looking for Amirah and issued a warrant for Brooks' arrest "on charges of not returning a child within 72 hours per custody order."

As reported by WMBF News, Amirah's father, Mansoor Watson, said: "When it was time for her to bring her back to me on February 2nd, she never showed.

"I sent out multiple text messages, multiple phone calls, waited an hour, and then I called the Dillon Police Department. I haven't received a text message saying that she's okay."

He continued: "I'm not thinking about pressing charges or anything. If she's listening. 'I want you to be in Amirah's life. I don't want to keep you from Amirah.'"
