She had been found in Chicago on June 27 after being missing since May 17. At that time, she was found by Milwaukee activists and was taken to a hospital and reunited with her mother, Chicago police said then.

Her mother, Bonnie Bruno, said then that activists got a tip about a disturbing video of Armoni being assaulted by a man. Bruno said her daughter was trafficked by several men after being lured to Chicago by someone online.

Saturday, Bruno said her daughter has emotional issues and is vulnerable to being harmed again.

She said Armoni had not been seen since late Friday afternoon after a worker with the social services agency Wraparound Milwaukee failed to pick her up as scheduled at the Boys & Girls Club at 2404 W. Rogers St.

"I feel like this person dropped the ball," Bruno said.

Mike Lappen, administrator for the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division, which oversees Wraparound, declined to say whether agency staff was serving the family,  citing privacy concerns, but said, "we, like everyone, remain hopeful for her safe return."

Armoni was last seen on a surveillance camera at 5:48 p.m. outside the Boys & Girls Club, Bruno said, and she should have been picked up much earlier.

"I never let her stay there past 4 p.m.," Bruno said. "I believe that someone forgot they were supposed to pick her up, and that she just started to walk."
