MORRISANIA, Bronx (WABC) -- A 6-year-old Bronx girl died after she arrived at the hospital with bruising all over her body.

Jalayah Eason's mother called 911 just after 4 a.m. Friday, reporting the injuries.

Police responded to the Forest Houses on East 165th Street in Morrisania and found the child unconscious in her mother's bedroom.

Authorities say she had bruising and trauma on her wrists and torso.

Jalayah was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln where she was pronounced dead.

Detectives are questioning her mother but no charges have been filed, and the cause of the girl's death will be determined by the medical examiner.

The girl had been living in a squalid 12th floor apartment that was filthy and filled with clothes and other belongings strewn about.

Two other children, an 8-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl, have been removed from the household by ACS. The other children also appeared to have older injuries.

The investigation into the death is ongoing.

The mother's other two children, an 8-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl, were also home at the time, and police sources say they had signs of bruising and ligature marks indicating restraints. The 8-year-old told police his mother had hit him in the past.

Police sources said the mother has two prior ACS cases involving the 8-year-old and one prior arrest, although it's not clear for what.

“I’m just up thinking like how deep i was really in the streets literally in my living room cooking upppp to now being a whole NYC city agent with a whole 401K & everything… God gone do it EVERYTIME!” the mom, Lynija Eason, posted to the social media site about a week ago.

Eason, who also uses the name Lynija Mone online, is in police custody after her daughter Jalayah Eason was found unconscious and covered in bruises inside the family’s squalid Bronx apartment Friday.

Neighbors heard the girl, who later died, beg for her life during a 4 a.m. beating.

Eason has not been charged in Jalayah’s death.

The mom’s online commentary betrayed no sign of the girl’s horrifying end.

Eason, who claims she works as a 311 operator, also remarked on thedisappearance and deaths of two boys who had been playing near the shore before their bodies turned up in the waters off Manhattan.

The mom wrote the situation “doesn’t make sense. So if the witness saw him pushing the other boy into the water where was this witness when they was missing for 5days ?!?!?! Who tf is lying toooo like please okay !!!!”

As of Saturday afternoon, Eason was still in police custody, according to the NYPD. The Post could not confirm her employment and 311 said she did not work there.

On May 17, Eason reposted a meme that read in part, “Me at home: The world is a dark place, we need more kindness and compassion towards one another. Me in public: I hate every single person on this planet.” bbm

''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. ''


""The neighbor, who lives below the apartment, one floor down, may shed some light into the possible darkness above. She says on several occasions she heard children crying, running back and forth, adding their screams, at times, were deafening."

How horrible to actually have to live with this memory .

Ms. Eason was the subject of an abuse and neglect report last year in regard to Jalayah’s 8-year-old brother, according to a person who saw some of her social service records and spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
[snip]
In October, the brother’s school reported that the child came to school with a bruised and swollen face and told a teacher his mother had punched and kicked him for drinking out of the sink, the file says. The school also reported that the brother had been absent most days, was often not picked up until an hour after dismissal on days he was present, wore the same dirty clothes for days at a time and smelled of urine.

When a caseworker visited the apartment a week later, no marks on the brother were visible, the files state. Ms. Eason told a caseworker that she had been given a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during the pandemic but had never gotten help for it. She offered no explanation for her son’s frequent school absences. (Jalayah, who was 5 at the time, did not appear to have been enrolled in school.)
