The mother of the 14-year-old girl who vanished in New Jersey last month and was subsequently found safe this week has been arrested for alleged child endangerment.
Jamie Moore, the 39-year-old mother of Jashyah Moore, is accused of physical abuse and neglect and has been charged with two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed in a statement that Moore is currently being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility pending an upcoming court appearance.
According to the statement, the teen and her 3-year-old brother have been removed from their mother’s custody.
