"Sgt. Steve Martos told CBS5 that investigators have contacted family members in Arizona and California, but there's still no sign of Emily.

The big concern now is the child's health, Martos said.

"We're talking about 11-year old girl who can't take care of herself," said Martos.

Martos said Emily recently had her arm amputated because of infection.

Doctors also put a chest catheter in Emily's heart, which could be life-threatening if not taken out soon, said Martos.

"This catheter, if in fact she receives an infection, she could, potentially die," said Martos. "So there is some criminal aspect to this and we're looking into that."

It is still unclear why Emily's mother suddenly took the child out of the hospital or where they may be headed.

Authorities said that while it's not a crime for a parent to walk their daughter or son out of a hospital, it is against the law to not provide medical aid to a child facing a life-threatening situation.

"We are running out of time," said Martos. "We want to find Emily as soon as possible to get her the help she needs."
