The prosecutor's office was contacted by the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency Sunday, when the girl was admitted to Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck with "multiple fractures of her extremities," the prosecutor's office said.

An investigation by borough police and the prosecutor's Special Victim's Unit led to the arrest of Dalia E. Toalongo Monday. She was being held at the Bergen County Jail on $150,000 bail. She has been barred from any contact with the infant and had to surrender her passport.

Authorities did not release any information on the nature of the relationship between Toalongo and the infant.
