TOULON (AP) — A 19-year-old mother was charged Friday with dumping her 3-week-old daughter along a rural road for 12 hours and lying to police about the baby's whereabouts, prompting an Amber Alert.
Bond was set at $100,000 Friday for Kendra Meaker of Toulon, who is charged in Stark County with obstruction of justice and endangering the life or health of a child, the Journal-Star in Peoria reported.
Meaker told a judge during a Friday court appearance that she had no job and no income, and said nothing else.
