In a Monday news conference, Pamela Allen, an advocate for the family, said that there were several details that police had not told them in the years following Lina’s disappearance.
Just days into the federal government shutdown, the Care Zone at Dwight Middle School, operated by the nonprofit Eagles Flight Advocacy and Outreach, is already experiencing the impact of paused state support.
Pamela Allen with Eagle's Flight SA said there's been a huge demand for car seats by families since a crash that injured six children who were not wearing a seatbelt.
Nearly two years after San Antonio police say Lina Khil was reported missing, investigators are still looking for clues to find her.
A newborn baby left at a church two weeks ago, showed child safety advocates that more education is needed about the Baby Moses law. The law lays out legal and safe ways to surrender babies in Texas.
The family of 3-year-old Lina Khil is thanking everyone for the tremendous amount of support as they end day 17 with no sign of their little girl.

SAN ANTONIO – Texas was the first state in the nation to enact a Baby Moses Law allowing mothers to safely surrender their babies at hospitals, fire stations and police stations, without penalty. Now, advocates say Texas needs to follow other states like North Dakota and Missouri that have extended their laws, allowing mothers to surrender babies up to 12 months. “In 2011, we got a call for a baby and we were told she had been left at a fire station,” said Laurie Cobb, who adopted a Baby Moses baby nine years ago. Bella, now nine years old, had been safely surrendered as part of the Baby Moses Law. Related: Advocates want to extend age of babies allowed to be surrendered under Baby Moses law
