Charles Manigo has revealed his shock and
heartbreak after finding out that the 18 year old girl he raised from
childbirth as his own daughter wasn't his, but was actually kidnapped at
childbirth by his former partner, Gloria Williams in 1998.
According to Charles, his
ex-partner , Gloria, lied to him she had given birth to the baby, he named
Alexis Kelly Manigo, while he traveled, not knowing she suffered a miscarriage
one week before abducting the baby from Florida while posing as a nurse.
Gloria, then passed off the
kid as hers and they've been raising the child together since 1998- the pair
even shared custody of the child when they split in 2003.
The child's real name is
Kamiyah Mobley, and she has been returned to her original parents, Shanara
Mobley and Craig Aiken, after Gloria, was on Friday arrested by the
police following a tip off.
Kamiyah was kidnapped from
her mother’s arms at the University Medical Center in Jacksonville in July
1998, resulting in a state wide inquiry and Mr Manigo has revealed upon
Gloria's arrest that he still loves his 'daughter', even though she's been
re-united with her new family:
‘She was the love of
my life.
‘One of the hardest things
she said on Friday was, “Dad I love you” even though she knows what’s
going on.
‘She’s still my child. I
understand what’s going on, but she’s still my child.’
Speaking after the meeting
with his daughter, Aiken, 41, told DailyMail.com: ‘It was the best day of my
life. It was a beautiful, beautiful day. We are so happy. I hope the world is
rejoicing with us.’
