An Amber Alert has been issued for a missing 4-year-old girl in Rock Island after her mother’s car was stolen with her inside

Rock Island: Authorities are in a race against time to find a missing 4-year-old girl named Blessing. She was in a car that was stolen early Thursday morning.

Around 6:07 a.m., Blessing’s mom left her in a booster seat with the car running while she popped into a house on the 1300 block of 14th 1/2 Street. When she came back, the car was gone.

They found the car just 17 minutes later near 8th Street and 15th Avenue, but sadly, Blessing wasn’t inside.

Police describe Blessing as an African American girl, about 3 feet tall, with black hair in twists and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink jacket, pink boots, and blue pants.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Rock Island Police and the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Department, are teaming up to find her. They’re going door-to-door and even using drones to help in the search.
