Mom of missing New Jersey teen Jashyah Moore charged with child endangerment
Jaime Moore, the mother of Jashyah Moore, the 14-year-old who had been missing for about a month, has been charged with child endangerment.
Jamie Moore, the mother of Jashyah Moore, the 14-year-old from New Jersey who had been missing for about a month, has been charged with two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Jaime Moore Charged
The charges against 39-year-old Jamie Moore were announced in a press release Friday from acting Essex County prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens and East Orange Police Chief Phyllis Bindi, who added that the charges include allegations of physical abuse and neglect.
Moore was arrested early Friday and is being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility.
Jashyah, who was found safe in New York City on Thursday, and her 3-year-old brother were removed from Moore’s custody by the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP).
At a press conference Friday, police said Jashyah had run away from home and did not want to return.
Officials update on Jashyah Moore’s whereabouts since she went missing on Oct. 14: “She was in several locations, as far as we can tell, in New Jersey, ultimately though ending up in New York, where I believe she was staying in a shelter in Brooklyn.” https://t.co/1U24GtMZam pic.twitter.com/Vko5s6hVZb

The teen “is currently safe and is being provided all appropriate services,” Stephens said in a statement.
Authorities believe Jashyah was alone when she was found. She is said to have found shelter in Brooklyn.
Jashyah Moore Goes Missing
Jashyah went missing after going to Poppie’s Deli Store in East Orange.
According to reports, Jamie Moore asked her daughter to go to the deli for groceries. When Jashyah returned from the store, she told her mother she misplaced the family’s debit card.
Jaime Moore told reporters that she had sent her daughter to retrace her steps to locate the misplaced card. When the teen did not return, Moore said she went searching for Jashyah and alerted authorities.
There was a weekslong search for Jashyah, including a reward that reached up to $20,000.
Criminal complaint
New details have emerged since Jamie Moore’s arrest.
According to the criminal complaint, Jamie Moore had a history of physically abusing her 14-year-old daughter Jashyah Moore.
The mother allegedly stabbed her daughter, sprayed bleach in her eyes, pulled her braids out and hit her on the head with a frying pan.
She is also accused of putting her knees on the teen’s neck and back, causing the teen to struggle to breathe.
Jamie Moore allegedly disrupted Jashyah’s education forcing her to log out of remote learning so that she could panhandle for money and take care of her younger brother.
Authorities say that Jashyah was not enrolled in school this year, even though she wanted to be.
On the day Jashyah went missing on October 14th, she told authorities her mother verbally abused her and cursed at her for losing a debit card.
She says that her mother grabbed her by the neck, scratching her and told her to go back and find the card.
Jashyah also apparently told investigators that she knew if she went back home without the card, her mother would beat her.
Jamie Moore reported Jashyah missing about a month ago. Then, she started speaking out about the investigation about 10 days ago.
Ongoing Investigation
East Orange Police, the FBI and the New Jersey State Police worked in collaboration to help find Jashyah.
Anyone who knows about her disappearance should call the East Orange Police at (973) 266-5041.

McIntyre’s mother, Monikki Williams Tippet, told the outlet that a body found days later at the San Antonio park had tattoos resembling those on her missing son.
Tippet says she and her family believes someone hurt her son because he was Black and gay.
“I want answers now. I want this person found,” she said, adding that her son “didn’t deserve this. They took my baby’s life for no reason.”
McIntyre is from St. Louis, Texas and had flown to San Antonio to visit his two sisters during his birthday weekend.
He was supposed to return home on Sunday 9 June, but he tragically never made it home.
The family said they want the San Antonio Police Department to do more to help find the person responsible.
“They are treating this like a murder case,” Tippet said. “It is being treated like a murder case.”
Anyone who knows any information about this case is asked to contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-7660.
Note: This article was updated June 21, to reflect new revelations in the case and McIntyre’s body has been confirmed as the body found in the park.

Marine from Massachusetts goes missing off coast in Puerto Rico
A family is holding out hope after U.S. Marine Samuel Muturi Wanjiru went missing on March 27 off the coast in Puerto Rico.
A family is holding out hope after U.S. Marine Samuel Muturi Wanjiru went missing on March 27 off the coast in Puerto Rico.
Missing details for Marine Samuel Muturi Wanjiru
Corporal Samuel Wanjiru, 26, of Worcester, Mass., was swept away by ocean currents while being in the water at La Pared beach in Luquillo.
The Coast Guard launched helicopters and aircraft to look for Wanjiru, but those search efforts were unsuccessful. The active search was called off on April 1.
At the time of his disappearance, Wanjiru was vacationing with his partner of five years, Natasha Castillo-Vargas.
Castillo-Vargas, her father, and Wanjiru’s mother are still in Puerto Rico, returning to the beach daily where Wanjiru went missing, continuing to look for him.
GoFundMe
She has since started a GoFundMe campaign to help the family with expenses and search efforts while they remain in Puerto Rico.
“Samuel’s mother and I are trying to get as much resources and help as we can because we will not give up hope in finding our Samuel. Please, anything anyone can help with would be most appreciated.”
In addition to donations, the family asks the public for prayers and love during this “devastating and heart aching time.”
“We are firm believers in God as Samuel is too and we have faith that he will be found. Thank you for your support!”
