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

FDLE said the alert is for Naomi Cernik, 16. The agency’s Missing Child Information Center flyer lists her as a white female with blonde hair and brown eyes.

FDLE provided a physical description: 5 feet 2 inches tall, 95 pounds.

The alert is a statewide notice used to get information moving quickly to law enforcement. It matters locally because these alerts can cross county lines fast, and the public is often the difference between a tip that goes nowhere and one that helps investigators.

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

For residents, the key details to watch are the name and description provided by FDLE. Anyone who believes they have information is asked to report it directly to law enforcement using the numbers listed on the alert.

The official FDLE Missing Child Alert flyer is posted online through the agency’s Missing Child Information Center.
