The search continues for a toddler missing in Northwest Indiana, and the reward for information leading to her return is up to $10,000.

Jada Justice, 2, has been missing for seven days, but her family and friends has not given up hope of finding her safe, the Times of Northwest Indiana reports Tuesday.

Jada has been missing since June 16, when her baby sitter -- and cousin -- Engelica Castillo said Jada was taken from a car at the Glen Park Gas station in Gary, the paper says.

On Monday, volunteers went door-to-door handing out flyers and asking residents to keep their eyes and ears open for anything that might lead to the little girl.

"It's a beautiful thing," Jada's father, Clarence Justice, said of the volunteer effort. He said the support the family has received has touched him. 

The NWI Times reports: 

(Clarence) Justice said he plans to come back to the Gary gas station every day to continue to inform people about his missing child.

"I'll keep doing that until Jada comes back," he said.
