In what became a case of severe nerves for the family, the child’s father notified police as a desperate search for the unreachable nanny took place.

It wasn’t after hours of police frantically seeking the nanny’s whereabouts that Fatima Alexander inexplicably returned to the family home with Gabriella in tow just on 12.15 am.

According to a report via the nypost, ‘distraught family members started to scuffle with Fatima Alexander’ who was taken into police custody.

Asked by reporters outside the family building where Fatima Alexander had taken the child, the nanny replied, ‘nowhere.’

Why or where the nanny ended up taking her employer’s child without notice has yet to be necessarily understood

A report via the nydailynews tells of the family telling Fatima Alexander having worked with them for over fifteen years and to their knowledge the woman having no known medical issues.
