Essex County officials today reported that Ms. Jamie A. Moore, 40, of East Orange, is scheduled to appear before the Honorable Michael Ravin, Judge of the Superior Court, on Wednesday, November 17, at the Essex County Veterans Court House, 50 West Market Street, Newark.
Officials say Moore is charged with two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
According to Essex County, endangering charges include allegations of physical abuse and neglect, including physically assaulting her 14-old-daughter, forcing her to log out of online school during the 2020-21 school year and failing to enroll her daughter in school during the 2021-22 school year when they moved to another community.
County Officials said On Nov. 12, Moore was arrested by detectives from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the East Orange Police Department after her daughter was located in a New York City shelter.
The charges are accusations.
All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they enter a guilty plea or are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Moore is being held in the Essex County Correctional Facility.
The defendant’s 14-year-old daughter and three-year-old son have been removed from her custody by the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP).
