The girl was described by authorities as an acquaintance of Salvador-Jauregui.
The arrest came after Emerson police learned of the unspecified injury and notified the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency, which contacted prosecutors, the statement said.
The child's condition was not immediately clear. Officials did not immediately respond to a message seeking further information.
