Hicks was believed to be with her mother and father, identified as Carlos Hicks and Jacqueline Hendricks, neither of whom have legal custody of her. Both parents have a history of violence, police said. Authorities believed Hicks to be in danger when the alert was issued. Neither parent has been arrested but an investigation is ongoing, a public information officer with the NYPD told Newsweek.
"Additional information will be shared as it becomes available," the New York State Public Safety division said in a statement.
