A 25-year-old Edison, N.J., man has been charged with kidnapping and endangering the 20-month-old girl who was abandoned at a Newark gas station Sunday, according to the Middlesex County, N.J., Prosecutor Office.
Dwayne Jackson was charged today in Middlesex County, N.J., and is being held there on $750,000 bail.
Newark police have a warrant for Jackson's arrest, charging him with first-degree reckless endangering for locking the girl in the bathroom of the Shell service station at 804 S. College Ave.
The child was identified as Jacksons daughter after her photograph was published in The News Journal and elsewhere, according to Jim O'Neill, spokesman for Middlesex County Prosecutors Office. The child, who had been living with her mother in North Brunswick, N.J., remains in Delaware with her foster family.
Officials did not release the girls name. The identity of her mother also was withheld due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, they said.
