Mom criticizes police over missing girl

The mother of a missing Oxnard teen told reporters Thursday that she’s received little help from law enforcement officials since her daughter disappeared with a 20-year-old Ventura man Dec. 13.

“As a mother, I’m extremely frustrated,” said Franciene Black, as she sat next to her attorney, Gloria Allred, during a news conference in Los Angeles.

Police and the FBI say Andrew Joshua Tafoya disappeared with the 15-year-old girl into Mexico seven months after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with her.

Authorities suspect Tafoya used a stolen car when he left with Chioma Gray on Dec. 13. Tafoya is charged with child stealing, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, vehicle theft and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Black criticized Ventura police for failing to issue an Amber Alert when her daughter disappeared.

One of the girl’s brothers, and her father, Desmond Gray, dropped the Buena High School Rest of the story…student off at the Ventura school Dec. 13.

“That was the last time they saw Chioma Gray,” she said.

    Yeah, the girl is just a black hussy who ran off. Who cares?

    Who cares if this grown man is teeing off on her in Tijuana?

    If she was blond haired and blue-eyed, it’d be a different story. Fox News would be doing hour long specials. Nancy Grace wouldn’t shut up about the case.
