An update in the disappearance case of Jashyah Moore …
The mother of the 14-year-old girl who went missing from her home in New Jersey nearly a month ago was arrested for alleged child endangerment just one day after the teenager was found safe in New York City.
As we previously reported, the young girl had vanished while making a trip out for some groceries at Poppie’s Deli Store in East Orange, New Jersey on October 14. That day, Jashyah somehow lost the EBT card she used to pay for her items and her mom Jamie Moore told her to retrace her steps to find it. But when the girl daughter didn’t return after an hour, she went searching for Jashyah and eventually reported the teen missing to authorities:
“Nothing would keep her away from me. Nothing would keep her away through her little brother. And she’s such a smart girl. She would not stay out overnight. She would not want me to worry. ”

“My daughter did not run away. An Amber Alert, right aside, they should have put it in, but because it didn’t fit the criteria — what the particular hell is the criteria? For us to never see the woman again? ”
