The mother of Jashyah Moore, the 14-year-old New Jersey girl who ran away from home & was found safe Thursday after a monthlong search, has been arrested & charged with child endangerment.
Jamie A. Moore, 39, of East Orange, faces 2 counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, which include "allegations of physical abuse & also neglect," according to a statement Friday from the Essex County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey.
Moore's teen daughter & 3-year-old son have been removed from her custody by the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency, officials said.
Stephens had previously said that the child protection agency did not have an open case for the family when Jashyah, who did not appear to be registered in school, went missing in October.
She had last been seen at a deli on Oct. 14 in East Orange.
Jashyah spent the past month in locations throughout New Jersey and New York City and was recently staying at a shelter in Brooklyn, Stephens said.
"The young lady appears to have run away," he said. "And she did not want to make herself known to anyone as to where she was. She seemed to be ... more so at ease where she was."
