FLORIDA (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Florida Missing Child Alert has been issued for a 16-year-old girl, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

FDLE said the alert is for Naomi Cernik, who is missing from Florida. The agency’s Missing Child Alert flyer lists her age at disappearance as 16.

FDLE’s flyer describes Cernik as female and white, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She is listed as 5 feet 2 inches tall and 95 pounds.

Missing Child Alerts are used to quickly push identifying information to the public so tips can get to investigators fast. For residents in South Florida, the key point is that these alerts can involve travel across the state, and the public is being asked to pay attention to the description and report information directly to law enforcement.

FDLE directed anyone with information to contact the Clay County Sheriff's Office at 904-264-6512 or call 911.

What happens next is driven by tips and investigative follow-up. FDLE’s flyer provides the identifying details and the contact numbers for the agency handling calls. Residents who believe they have information are asked to report it to Clay County Sheriff's Office or 911.
