THE 18-year-old girl who discovered she was kidnapped at birth has launched a scathing attack on social media against the man who raised her after he sobbed on TV about finding out she was snatched from hospital as a newborn.

Charles Manigo found out last week Kamiyah Mobley wasn't his biological child when his former partner Gloria Williams, 51, was arrested in connection with the abduction.

The little girl was taken in 1998.

Manigo appeared in floods of tears on ABC News on Monday and claimed he and Williams had raised her in Walterboro, South Carolina, and had called her Alexis Kelly.

He also said they shared custody of her when they went their separate ways in 2003.

But the teen took to Facebook just hours after the interview and slammed the man she called 'dad" saying: "He did nothing.

"He was the reason I didn't go to my senior prom, he was not there when I moved to Georgia, never saw him."

She then went on to suggest Manigo had not helped with child support and gave credit to the woman she called "mum" Gloria Williams for bringing her up: "He like (sic) to bring up a $40 check a week? Thats (sic) nothing but $160 dollars.

"My bundles [of weave hair] cost $290."

She went on: "Do the math? Who was there? Gloria Williams. So what is a Charles Manigo?"

Her rant didn't stop there – she went on to say that while her father works in a car dealership, it was actually her grandfather who gave her her first car: "I call my granddaddy daddy and he earned it.

"I can count on my fingers how many times I've spent the night at your house."

Kamiyah then claimed he made out Williams wouldn't let her stay at his house, but it was in fact that she didn't want to see him: "All he did was lie my whole life then tell people different."

Mobley was devastated when it came to light  the woman she thought was her mother, Georgia Williams, had actually kidnapped her when she was a baby.

When Williams was dragged away from court in handcuffs, on Friday she screamed: "I love you mum."

After meeting her blood parents Craig Aiken and Shanara Mobley for the first time last week, she is now forced to choose whether to stay with distraught 'dad' Charles or begin a new life with the people who lost her over 18 years ago.

In reports she is already being referred to by the name given to her at birth, renouncing the name Alexis Kelly Manigo that she was known by up until police last week made a groundbreaking discovery.

Cold case cops investigating the 1998 kidnap of a baby from University Medical Centre in Jacksonville, Florida discovered that Kamiyah was still alive — and was under the care of her alleged abductor.

Williams, 51, was arrested and charged with what police said was the meticulously planned kidnap nearly two decades ago.

They say the Walterboro, South Carolina woman suffered a miscarriage in the days leading up to the abduction.

In her heartbroken state, she then came up with the plot to pose as a nurse and take baby Kamiyah out of her mother's arms.

She along with unknowing partner Charles then raised her as their own, and even shared custody after they split in 2003.

But the shock of discovering Kamiyah was an abductee threatens to break up what was once a blissfully happy family.

"She was the love of my life," distraught Charles said.

"One of the hardest things she said [after discovering she was not his daughter] was, 'Dad I love you,' even though she knows what's going on.

"She's still my child. I understand what's going on, but she's still my child."

But whether or not she legally remains his daughter is up to Kamiyah.

Now that she is 18 years old, she has the right to divorce her non-blood parents for Aitken and Mobley — who themselves are no longer a couple.

This option looked all the more likely after an emotional first meeting with them at the jail where Williams is being held.

Smiling for a selfie, the trio seemed like they were looking forward to beginning a happy new life together.

"It was the best day of my life. It was a beautiful, beautiful day", Aitken said after the meeting. "We are so happy. I hope the world is rejoicing with us."

Besides, her alleged kidnapper now faces the threat of life in prison when she stands trial, which would make the prospect of their mother-daughter relationship remaining in tact nearly impossible.

But the reaction of Kamiyah to Williams' incarceration shows she may stick with the two people that were there for the biggest moments in her young life.

She told a courtroom "my mom's no felon", and further referred to her "mother" in a heartbreaking Facebook post.

"My mother raised me with everything I needed and most of all everything I wanted", she wrote. "The ignorant ones won't understand it."

In this case, which is so fraught with emotion and intrigue, the only person whose understanding really matters is Kamiyah.
