Cops Ask for Help Finding Missing 2-Year-Old NYC Girl

Authorities are asking for help finding a missing 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 from the Bronx, was last seen shortly before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in her home on Gleason Avenue. Police say her grandmother, who has legal custody of the child, got into some sort of argument with Benitez's father Christian -- and the father allegedly took the child.

Cops say there is no information on any violence-related issues in Christian Benitez's past. It's not clear why he is only permitted supervised visits with his daughter, nor is it clear what happened to her mother.
