This poor little girl. I have no idea why I still get surprised that such disgusting evil just walks freely around the world. I hope she is alive and they find her quickly. No child should ever be in that situation.

Joslin Smith disappearance: South African mother and boyfriend charged with trafficking
Kelly Smith appears in court on trafficking charges following the disappearance of her six-year-old.

The mother of a six-year-old girl missing in South Africa since 19 February has been charged with human trafficking and kidnapping.
Kelly Smith was charged along with her boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis, and two others, following their arrest.

The prosecution alleges that Ms Smith instructed Mr Appollis and another of the accused, Stefano van Rhyn, to sell Joslin to a traditional healer for 20,000 rand ($1,000; £835), the privately owned Citizen newspaper reports.

I hope for the best while preparing my heart for what has probably happened to this sweet little angel. No one was there to protect her.

Reminds me of the Shaniya Davis case
I'm going to continue to hope until it's proven otherwise. I wish unspeakable horrors be inflicted on the egg donor and anyone else involved in what happened to Joslin.
Yes, it does. However, in South Africa, they say this mother sold her child to "a traditional healer". As I understand it, this could possibly mean she was sold so her organs can be sold on the black market??

I can't get this little girl out of my head? How can you sell your child? Especially if you know harm will be done to them. Ugh.

It’s been three months since the six-year old disappeared from her Saldanha Bay home.
