Home Alone: Burned in New York

Now, I know that the first thing women will say is "where was the father? that deadbeat must have left them."  Or they might say "Poor single working mom - goes easy on her".

Blah blah blah blah.  Save it, ladies.

Somehow she strikes me as the type of person who KNEW BEFOREHAND she should not have gotten pregnant with Mr. Absentee's kid but did so anyway.  Furthermore, if she's working as a stripper that means she probably didn't have good employment prospects to begin with (which means she was aware she could not support a child).

Regardless of her particular situation, what kind of a shitty parent leaves their 2-year old kid alone like that?

Of course if it was a guy who had done this, he probably would have been charged with manslaughter instead of 'reckless endangerment'.  That's our good old feminized justice system at work.

Apartment Fire Kills 2-Year-Old Daughter of Exotic Dancer Left Home Alone

staff@people.com (Chris Harris),People – February 24, 2016

Police have arrested the mother of a 2-year-old girl who died in a raging fire that consumed parts of her apartment building in Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday morning.

A New York City Police Department spokeswoman tells PEOPLE that Leila Aquino, 20, has been charged with reckless endangerment and child endangerment.

Sources close to the investigation allege Aquino went to work on Tuesday morning, leaving her daughter – 2-year-old Kaleenah Muldrow – home alone. PEOPLE's sources claim that Aquino is an exotic dancer, employed by a New York City gentleman's club.

Firefighters were called to the scene of Tuesday's fire at around 7:30 a.m., and found Kaleenah after extinguishing the fire.

Police sources say the girl's remains were discovered under a scorched bed, where investigators believe the child tried to hide from the rising flames.

Police claim Aquino returned to the gutted building at around 9:45 a.m.

Tuesday's fatal fire is being investigated as a possible arson.

Aquino is being held without bail and it was unclear Wednesday if she has retained legal counsel.
