A Bronx mother is facing charges for allegedly killing her 6-year-old daughter.

A tragic and disturbing incident has come to light in the Bronx, involving a 27-year-old woman named Lynija Eason Kumar and her 6-year-old daughter, Jalavah Eason. Kumar has been indicted on charges of murder and manslaughter after allegedly hanging and abusing her daughter in their apartment last year.

It all began on May 26, 2023, when police officers were called to Kumar's residence in the Morrisiania area of the Bronx. Upon arriving at her 12th-floor apartment, they were met with a heartbreaking scene. Jalavah was found with multiple bruises and scars, some of which were old and others still healing. It was evident that she had been suffering from prolonged abuse at the hands of her own mother.

The paramedics did everything in their power to save Jalavah, but sadly, their efforts were in vain. She was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Kumar had been subjecting her daughter to abuse for months, starting from March 1 until the day the police found her lifeless body.

According to authorities, Kumar would allegedly hang Jalavah in a closet and beat her with a hard object. The city medical examiner determined that the cause of Jalavah's death was due to child abuse, including asphyxia, blunt force injuries, and malnourishment.

Tragically, Jalavah was not the only child living in this house of horrors. She had two siblings, an 8-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl, who also showed signs of abuse and neglect. After Jalavah's death, the Administration for Children's Services took them into custody to ensure their safety.

In a written statement, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark expressed her outrage and promised to seek justice for Jalavah. She also mentioned that the surviving siblings would receive support and services during this difficult time. It was reported by the New York Post that Kumar has been indicted on multiple charges, including second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

For now, Kumar is being held at the Rose M. Singer Center in the Bronx and will remain there until her next court date on June 26. This devastating case serves as a reminder to always be vigilant and protect our most vulnerable members of society. No child should have to endure such pain and suffering at the hands of those who are supposed to love and protect them.
