South African Mother Charged with Trafficking in Daughter's Disappearance

The mother of a 6-year-old girl who went missing in South Africa has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and human trafficking, along with three others, after neighbors accused her of selling her daughter for just over $1,000. Despite a major search operation involving police, firefighters, and specialized sniffer dog units, the girl, Joslin Smith, has not been found. The suspects, including the mother's boyfriend, did not enter a plea and remain in custody, facing a potential life sentence if convicted. The community is deeply angered, and authorities are focused on finding the child alive, with the possibility of more arrests in the future.
