The newborn baby has a heart condition.
Police also noted that the newborn baby's health is a concern. Omoria reportedly has a heart condition that requires her to be given medication daily. Amoria’s guardian, Raquel Brown, has reportedly spoken to Amoria, who informed her that she and her baby are both OK, per NBC. However, Raquel still doesn't know where they are.
Raquel said 'it’s just a lot right now.'
Raquel is hoping that the newborn baby will be OK. "It’s just a lot right now; trying to take it all in, trying to process it," Raquel told NBC. "I just want the baby to be OK."
She added that Amoria is "not a bad mom." "I’m not going to say that she’s bad. She’s young. I can’t just expect her to change overnight, so I do want to make that clear, but I’m here to help," she continued.
Anyone who has information is asked to contact detectives.
As Amoria and Omoria are still missing, the LAPD asks anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact Detective J. Rider at (213) 479-2827 or call 911. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
