'Tears of joy' for stolen baby's family

  The grandmother of a girl stolen more than 18 years ago as a newborn baby has described her
"tears of joy" at discovering that she is alive and well.
Velma Aiken told the BBC it was a good feeling to
know that Kamiyah Mobley was "all right and
looking good".
Ms Mobley was abducted in July 1998 from a
hospital in Jacksonville, in the US state of Florida.
DNA tests confirmed her identity. The woman she
thought was her mother was charged with
kidnapping.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Ms Mobley
appeared in good health, a "normal 18-year-old
woman".
The office said it had acted on 2,500 tips since the
abduction and received one last year to
@MissingKids that eventually broke the case.
It showed the original composite images released
at the time of the kidnapping, along with a
photograph of Gloria Williams, 51, who was
arrested on Friday morning at her home in
Walterboro, South Carolina, 200 miles (300km)
from Jacksonville.
Ms Aiken said the family had a conversation with
her granddaughter, in which they introduced
themselves and Ms Mobley said she would go to
see them.
"All I know are tears of joy and happiness and a
good feeling, knowing that she's all right and
looking good," Ms Aiken said.
The grandmother added that she always felt that
her granddaughter was alive and that whoever she
was with was taking care of her.
"We just kept praying, hoping and believing," she
said.
The baby was only eight hours old when she was
taken by a woman posing as a health care worker
at the University Medical Center, now known as UF
Health Jacksonville.
The woman told Kamiyah's mother, Shanara, that
her baby had a fever and needed to be checked.
She took the baby out of the room and
disappeared.
The case brought significant media attention as
Shanara tried to locate her child.
