Police charged a Bronx woman after the death of her 6-year-old daughter, Jalayah Eason, who was found bruised and unresponsive in their apartment. Christinafantv reports.
Lynija Eason, 26, was charged with acting in a manner injurious to a child, but it could be upgraded if the medical examiner rules her daughter's death a homicide.
Paramedics rushed Jalayah Eason to the hospital where she was pronounced dead less than an hour later. A neighbor who lives one floor below wondered if Eason was telling the truth. She described to CBS2 hearing cries and deafening screams from the children on several occasions. "I'm so heartbroken. This is disgusting. I don't even know her and I'm hurt," another neighbor said.
