Walter Rodriguez, 28, remained held Friday in the Bergen County Jail following his arrest two days earlier on four counts of child endangerment, records show.
Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said members of his Special Victims Unit began investigating after receiving a report from city police and the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency.
