Missing 11-Year-Old Girl’s Mom and Stepfather Face Charges

The new footage shows missing 11-year-old girl Madalina Cojocari getting off a school bus at 4:59 p.m. on November 21. However, cops say her parents did not report her missing until December 15, nearly 22 days later. Her mother, Diana Cojocari, said she did not notify authorities of her daughter's absence because she was worried it might start a “conflict” between her and her husband. Now, Madalina’s mom and her stepfather were arrested and charged with failure to report a missing child.

It's real sad when your community cares more than your parents!

22 days? I lost my 13 year old dog last year for 10 minutes & ran around the neighborhood yelling his name & frantic as hell literally losing my mind.
The "parents" absolutely knows what happened to her.

That stepdad looks like a piece of work. I bet the Mom is covering for him. We see it time and time again. How desperate do you have to be to stay with someone that abuses your child, even after they kill them? Wow... Pathetic isn't a strong enough word.

The fact that the mother WAITED a MONTH just to file a missing child report??? Nahhhh they were involved for sure on her missing and I really hope they end up in prison smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

My mom last Saturday couldn't wait until I got home so once I got out of work at 11:30pm. I found her in her car waiting and waving at me telling me "Let's go, I will drive behind you". I am 21. Moments like these makes me cry and I tell myself, I thank God for giving me loving, and caring parents. I can't imagine what could happen to the young lady

Edit: for the people who said that it is controlling, the area where I work is surrounded by lots of homeless, criminals, and I live in Las Vegas, so the traffic gets extremely crazy with manics driving 100+ per hour on the weekends. This is the only time she has done it because I normally get out at 6 or 8. I worked a 14 hour shift that day.

My question is: What about the school? Didn't they notice that she didn't show up for days?

[tamarawilson]

22 days? If I can't get hold of my ADULT son on the phone for a day I'm freaking out! Sad to say, but I think we know how this ends! 😥💔

I think it is mind blowing the amount of parents who wait to file missing child reports or never do at all and a relative does after the Casey Anthony trial! No one will ever make me think she did not set a precedent on how to get away with offing your child! It's sick!

If a missing child is not reported the second that child is supposed to be home, look at the parents. As a parent, I know we all freak out of the bus is a few minutes late

I once walked down to the store with a friend one night when I was 14 without warning my Mom because I thought we'd be back in an hour. 2 hours later, we came back to my Mom panicking, her boyfriend + my Nana driving around the neighborhood asking around about us, and the cops called.

Those "parents" deserve their charges for their lack of care about their dearest.

[cienergi]

As a mom, I worry about my child anytime she’s not in my nor her dad’s sight.

[niklorenz]

That's just terrible what the parents did. What parent does not file a missing persons report after like a day? Especially an 11 y/o. This is just sad. I hope they find her :(

[tacobell]

Yeah they definitely did it. If it took them that long to say anything they did it. This is honestly sad. She deserved better.

[amistenson]

Disgusting! Hope those "parents" get everything they deserve.
Pray she rests peacefully. ❤

[SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Wow just looking at the mom and step father faces clearly shows they DO NOT even have a care on what happened would not surprise me if they murdered her and waited so long to try and cover any and all traces

[Rock_K]

This poor child never had a chance with a mother like that. Breaks my heart. Difficult to even think about her life and what may have happened to her. Damn sad.

[savagebear]

They were in on it. No actual parent would wait that long.

[Ms.NoNo]

I guarantee that step dad was doing something to that little girl and they had to make her disappear before she talked. Sick asses.

[JupiterRising]

They've possibly murdered her. Prayers for this little girl.

[gijomathew]

She's most likely with the Lord now. Hope you get justice...RIP
