Since the young boy's death, her charge could be upgraded.
Prosecutors say Moreno of Des Plaines, Illinois, was seen on surveillance video pushing him into the lake. She was to a child under the age of 13 causing permanent disability, police said Wednesday. Those charges will almost certainly be upgraded.
The 3-year-old boy who was pushed into Lake Michigan on Monday was still hospitalized as of Wednesday with several serious injuries. Cook County prosecutors said in court he is not expected to survive.Prosecutors said, earlier that afternoon, Josiah was at the family's Des Plaines home where he lives with his grandmother and another aunt. Moreno allegedly stole keys to the family's truck and took Josiah without telling the other family members.
The family was especially worried because, the week before, Moreno had taken three children living at the family home to Navy Pier also without permission. The oldest child, an 11-year-old, called other family members for help and told them their location.
