A child missing from Johnston County since October 12 has been found safe in the Bronx, New York, the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.
The child had been considered a highly endangered missing juvenile and had been believed to be a victim of child sex trafficking, U.S. Marshals said.
The Johnston County Sheriff s Office asked for assistance from U.S. Marshals in Raleigh on November 10, and the agencies developed information that the child was in New York.
Marshals, working with Homeland Security and the New York City Police Department, found the juvenile at a residence in the Bronx on Monday and turned the child over to the New York City Administration for Children s Services.

Garner, N.C. A statewide curfew aimed at limiting the spread of coronavirus will hurt businesses bottom lines, but not following the rules comes with its own cost.
The curfew runs 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Friday. Gov. Roy Cooper said when he announced it on Wednesday that he expects people to stay home at night and not be hanging out with others and possibly spreading the virus.
Supermarkets and other businesses that sell food are allowed to stay open past 10 p.m., as well as pharmacies and gas stations. But other businesses have to close their doors, and restaurants and bars have to cut off alcohol sales by 9 p.m.
