Josiah's father, Dantrell, posted on Instagram that Josiah's heart will be going to a 2-year-old in Canada.
Moreno already is being held without bond, and at her first hearing on the upgraded charges Tuesday afternoon, was once again denied bail.
Another family member became alarmed when she noticed Moreno and the child were gone. Moreno was not allowed to drive because of medication she's on for mental health issues. During the chain of events Monday, prosecutors said Moreno drove into Chicago and attempted to enter the Shedd Aquarium with Josiah, but could not because she only had cash.
Moreno eventually took the boy to the pier, where chains are located on posts to keep people away from the water.
