A Fourth Girl Has Disappeared From Fieldston’s Youth Treatment Center

Just weeks after three young girls disappeared and then shortly returned to a youth treatment center, another girl has gone missing.

Authorities are currently searching for 11-year-old Deynea Fludd, who was last seen wearing a black-and-blue jacket, blue jeans, red sneakers, and a green durag at the Henry Ittleson Center on Iselin Avenue around 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The Ittleson Center is a place for “young, emotionally traumatized disturbed children,” referred by the state’s mental health office. The facility houses 32 beds and takes in children between the ages of 5 and 13.

Fludd’s disappearance comes 14 days after three other girls were reported missing from the same facility. They were found shortly afterward, but police provided no additional details.

Hank Newsome, a Black Lives Matter activist, has previously mentioned that there is “lack of accountability in keeping the girls safe” in New York, as he stood outside the 50th Precinct, The day the other three girls were found,

“There has been no accountability on behalf of the city,” Newsome told reporters.”These are children who went missing and somehow crossed state lines in New Jersey.”

Newsome states that the girls were located at an apartment in Newark, being held by a lady with a knife in her hand.

He, and one of the first three victims’ aunts, Jadé Coachman, believe human trafficking may have been involved in their disappearances.

“My father and brother were out there at the 50th Precinct when she arrived,” Coachman said. “The first thing she did was jump out of the car and give my dad and my brother a hug. And then she went inside. We were outside for six hours, thinking that she was coming with us. That was our thought. That was all we were praying for.”

Instead, the three girls were taken to another facility so that they could be evaluated, leaving Coachman without a chance to get to see her niece. She went on to say that she was unhappy with the fact that an Amber Alert was not used to quickly spread the message about the young girls going missing.

“With human trafficking in the Bronx being so big, you think there would have been an Amber Alert,” Coachman said. “There was no Amber Alert. There was never anything on the Citizen app.  I watched the news every day. I didn’t see anything on the news.”
