Detroit police are searching for a 2-year-old girl reported missing by her mother's boyfriend.

Police are treating the matter as a reported abduction and have issued an Amber Alert.

They say the boyfriend told them he left 2-year-old Tangena Hussain in his car when he entered a gas station store to buy gum Thursday night. He says she was missing when he returned to the car.

Police say the man didn't search the area for the girl but instead drove to her mother's workplace and picked her up.

Tangena is described as 3-foot-2 and 34 pounds with brown eyes, black hair and a burn scar on her chin and lip.

I think i agree with you lucy...first thing i would have done is Yell out at the top of my voice "her Name" and scream someone stole my baby HELP call 911 ...Just another sad ending im afraid and God i hope im wrong. Wherever that little one is may we pray god is looking out for her and keeping her safe unless its already too late. I dont mean to be negative really i dont but Everyday on the news it's something involving our precious little ones.

I agree with Lucy, something is missing here. He didn't even look for her???? Very scary for the missing child!

Something doesn't sound right here. Is there any kind of surveillance camera from the gas station? Doesn't really sound like an abduction. Sounds to me like he's the guilty one. Why wouldn't he rush back into the gas station and call police??
