“Our school resource officer and the school counselor tried several times to contact Madalina’s mother due to a high number of absences. After agreeing to bring Madalina to school, Diana Cojocari showed up alone, saying she didn’t know where her daughter was and hadn’t seen her since November 23rd.”
