MISSING JUVENILE

This agency is searching for a missing juvenile (runaway) and is asking for the public's help in locating her. Jazmine Amaya (16 years of age) left her Clifton home in October 2011 and has not been in contact with her family since. Jazmine is a habitual runaway and usually frequents the area of Paterson, NJ. Investigators have been working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other state agencies; however, have been unsuccessful in determining her whereabouts.

At this time, Jazmine faces no criminal charges. However, due to her status as a juvenile, anyone choosing to harbor her, can be charged with offenses relating to child endangerment.  Anyone with information regarding Jazmine is urged to contact the Clifton Police Juvenile Bureau @973-470-5882 or the Clifton Police  Communications Center @973-470-5911.
