A church in Mandarin is offering a $10,000 reward for answers to the mystery surrounding a toddler who had cocaine in her system.
The girl attended the Promise Land Day Care at First Baptist Church of Mandarin.
The Department of Children & Families is trying to find out how the girl ingested the cocaine and where it occurred.
All the workers at the day care tested negative for cocaine, as well as the girl's parents.
Church leaders say the information which investigators have now just doesn't add up.
"I believe that those who are truly concerned about the safety and well being of this child and not about spinning a story should come forward," said Pastor Gary Williams.
The church says the child is fine.
Leaders hope to push the reward to $20,000 after a collection this weekend.
