Kamiyah Mobley told ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d in an interview broadcast Wednesday that the woman charged in her abduction, 51-year-old Gloria Williams, \u201cwill always be mom.\u201d
A girl who was abducted from a Florida hospital in 1998 was reunited with her parents after nearly two decades. Investigators found 18-year-old K…
Mobley met with her birth parents, Craig Aiken and Shanara Mobley, last weekend in Walterboro, South Carolina, where she was found earlier this month.
\u201cI feel like I do owe them that, to give them a chance, you know, get to know them,\u201d Mobley said.
She realizes her life would have been different had she not been kidnapped, Mobley said.
\u201cWhen you find out you\u2019ve got another family, it gives you more love,\u201d she said.
Williams was booked into the Duval County jail in Florida Tuesday afternoon, records show.
\u201cIt did hurt that they had her in cuffs,\u201d Mobley said of an earlier court appearance in Walterboro. \u201cShe\u2019s a gentle woman.\u201d
The young woman born as Kamiyah Mobley was reunited with her biological parents, 18 years after being abducted.
Williams\u2019 arrest came after DNA tests helped authorities identify the 18-year-old woman who had been living with Williams in South Carolina as Kamiyah Mobley. A woman dressed as a nurse took Mobley as an infant in 1998 from University Medical Center in Jacksonville.
Some months ago, the young woman \u201chad an inclination\u201d that she may have been kidnapped, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said last week. CBS affiliate WJAX reported she learned her birth documents were fake in recent months when she tried to apply for jobs.
Mobley says she\u2019s forgiven Williams.
\u201cFrom that one mistake, I was given the best life,\u201d she said.
Mobley said she is worried about what will happen to Williams in court.
\u201cI understand that was she did was wrong, but just don\u2019t lock her up and throw away the key like everything she did was just awful,\u201d Mobley said. \u201cShe loved me for 18 years. She cared for me for 18 years.\u201d
Mobley says she still talks to Williams daily but is not sure when she can see her again. \u201cI will always love her,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
