>> IN OUR COVERAGE OF THE
KAMIYAH MOBLEY CASE ONE THE
RECURRING QUESTIONS HAS BEEN,
HOW WILL THOSE INVOLVED COPE?
AND WHAT COULD HAVE MOTIVATED
THE ACCUSED KIDNAPER TO TAKE HER
IN 1998?
JOINS US TO GIVE PERSPECTIVE ON
THOSE QUESTIONS DR. BLOOMFIELD
IS HERE TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING ON TODAY.
I'D LIKE TO START BACK IN 1998.
THIS WOMAN, AS FARES WE
UNDERSTAND, GOES TINE HOSPITAL,
POSES A NURSE, TAKES THE BABY.
>> I REMEMBER THE NEWS COVERAGE
OF IT AT THE TIME.
PEOPLE WERE WONDERING WHAT
HAPPENED.
JUST A LOT OF SPECULATION THAT
SHE COULDN'T HAVE A BABY
HERSELF.
AND THERE IS FACTUALLY SOME
LITERATURE ON WOMAN WHO ARE
UNABLE TO OR ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN
BECOMING PREGNANT, KIDNAPPING
AND ABDUCTING.
BUT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT
THIS MOMENT TO SAY WHAT WAS
GOING THROUGH HER MIND.
WE DO KNOW THAT SHE WENT TO THEN
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND DRESSED
AS A NURSE AND TOOK THE CHILD.
IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR, ALTHOUGH
I'M HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED IT.
IT SEEMS CLEAR SHE SHOWS CHOSE A
VULNERABLE MOTHER.
THE MOTHER WAS VERY YOUNG.
MAYBE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF
SUPPORT PEOPLE AROUND HER WHILE
SHE HAD JUST GIVEN BIRTH.
SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF INTENTIONALITY.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
THAT WILL BE FOR THE POLICE AND
STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO
DETERMINE.
>> LOOKING BACK NOW, THIS
MOTHER, THE REAL MOTHER, AND THE
REAL FATHER, NOW MEETING WITH
KAMIYAH MOBLEY FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
>> RIGHT.
>> SO MANY DYNAMICS HERE.
>> INCREDIBLE.
>> KAMIYAH MOBLEY WILL HAVE TO
DO THE MOST COPING.
>> WE CAN'T -- PEOPLE WILL TEND
TO -- THERE'S GOING TO BE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CELEBRITY
THERE.
AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ATTENTION.
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FORGETTING
THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
INVOLVED.
A, THIS WAS IN JACKSONVILLE IN
1998, A COMMUNITY EVENT.
AND IT'S A COMMUNITY EVENT
TODAY.
THERE ARE TWO FAMILIES.
THE FAMILY THAT MOST THE CHILD
AND THE FAMILY THAT RAISED THE
CHILD WITH THE WOMAN WHO
ABDUCTED HER.
SO THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER ABOUT KAMIYAH MOBLEY IS
WE HAVE TO -- EVERYONE INVOLVED
HAS TO KEEP THINKING ABOUT HER
INCREDIBLE RESELL YENS.
-- RESILIENCE.
THEN SHE HAS TO ROCK AISLE IN
HER OWN MIND WHAT HAPPENS.
SHE'LL WENT TO RECONCILE WITH
HER BIOLOGICAL PAIRJTSZ.
AT THE SAME TIME, SHE HAS TO
KEEP -- JUST FOR HER OWN SANITY
KEEP A RECOLLECT SILLATION OPEN
WITH THE WOMAN WHO RAISED HER
>> SHE FAR AS WE UNDERSTAND SHE
THOUGHT OF THAT WOMAN AS MOM
UNTIL DA AGO.
>> NO QUESTION.
THAT WOMAN RAISED HER, SHE WAS
BONDED AND ACHED -- ATTACHED TO
HER.
I HAVE READ VARYING STORIES
ABOUT WHAT HER LIFE WAS LIKE,
BUT SHE WAS BONDE ATTACHED.
WE MUST REMEMBER THE RESILIENCE
AFFECTEDDOR, THEN THE RECOLLECT
SILLATION, AND THE RESOLUTIONS.
THERE'S SO MANY RESOLUTIONS THAT
HAVE TO TAKE PLACE.
THERE'S A CRIMINAL EVENT THE
STATE ATTORNEY WILL BE INVOLVED.
SHE'S GOING TO BE DEFENDED.
THE YOUNG ADULT KAMIYAH MOBLEY
IS NOT A CHILD.
SHE'S 18.
SHE'S GOING TO BE DECIDING A LOT
OF THINGS FOR HERSELF.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WANTING
HER TO DO A LOT OF THINGS.
BOTH HER FAMILIES, AS WELL AS
THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS WELL AS
EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND SHE NEEDS SOME -- SHE NEEDS
SOMEBODY -- NOT A THERAPIST, BUT
SOMEBODY TO KIND OF HELP HER
THROUGH, WHETHER IT'S A CLERGY
PERSON OR SOMEONE FOR THE CENTER
FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED
CHILDREN OR A THERAPIST
>> DR. BLOOMFIELD, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
IT'S SOMETHING WE'LL CONTINUE TO
