COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The mother of a South Carolina toddler missing since Thanksgiving was arrested in Georgia and accused of prostitution shortly before her son's disappearance.

East Point, Ga., police said 22-year-old Zinah Jennings was arrested in November after she offered sex to an undercover officer. Authorities say Jennings agreed to take $40 in exchange for sex and is also facing a drug charge for smoking marijuana when she was arrested.
