Stripper Mom Arrested After Brooklyn Fire Kills Her 2-Year-Old

Firefighters dousing a blaze in a Brooklyn apartment early Tuesday found a dead 2-year-old girl who had been left in the apartment by her stripper mother, who had gone out partying, police sources said.

Kaleenah Muldrow’s body was found hidden under a bed in the third-floor apartment shortly after the fire had torn through the top of the Monroe St. building in Bushwick and was put out at 7:30 a.m., police sources said.

It’s believed the tot hid under the bed in a panic when the fire started an hour earlier, the sources said.

Police charged the child’s mother, Leila Aquino, 20, with endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment, saying she didn’t return home until about 9:30 a.m.

“She was crying, yelling, ‘My daughter’s in there!’ ” said neighbor Shameeka Smith, 34.

Firefighters had put out the blaze, but didn’t find the body until Aquino showed up and said she couldn’t find her child.

When asked, she told investigators she left the toddler with someone — but then bizarrely claimed she didn’t know who she left the girl with, police sources said.

Kaleenah’s father was stunned Aquino wasn’t watching their child.

“I’m just at a loss for words right now,” said Kason Muldrow. “There’s really nothing I can say.”

Other relatives were equally heartbroken.

“She was beautiful,” said Muldrow’s mother Shelly Archibald.

“We’re all devastated.”

Relatives said Aquino was usually a dutiful mother, who was always at her daughter’s side.

“She used to take care of her,” Kaleenah’s paternal great-grandmother, Jean Archibald, 73, said of Aquino.

“I’ve never heard of (Aquino) doing anything like this. I guess people change.”

Aquino and Kaleenah lived in the third-floor apartment of the building, which is owned by Muldrow’s father. Muldrow moved out after the couple broke up.

The cause of the blaze remained under investigation.

Update:


City officials were already investigating a stripper mom before she left her 2-year-old girl alone to die in a Brooklyn apartment fire, police sources said.

The Administration for Children’s Services opened a Feb. 15 probe involving Leila Aquino, 20, now accused of abandoning adorable little Kaleenah Muldrow for a night of partying, the sources said Wednesday.

The agency was told that Aquino was leaving the little girl home alone when she went to work in a strip club, the sources said. Aquino was supposed to work on the night of the fire, but her plans changed.

The fire in the third-floor Bushwick apartment was extinguished Tuesday at 7:30 a.m., but Aquino didn’t show up until she arrived two hours later in a panic about her daughter.

The little girl’s body was then discovered beneath a bed where she apparently went to hide when the fire started, authorities said.

The girl’s father and neighbors in the building were heartbroken by words of the little girl’s death.

Aquino, who initially put the blame for the Tuesday tragedy on a bogus “baby-sitter,” finally confessed that she left her daughter sitting alone in front of the television, according to sources.


The woman’s actual ex-babysitter told cops that she stopped working for Aquino on Feb. 6 because the mom owed her $200, the sources said.

The sitter would watch Kaleenah when Aquino worked her strip club shift until the split over money.

The mom was charged with endangering the welfare of her child along with reckless endangerment.

Aquino had four prior arrests — the most recent for robbery and gun possession in April 2015, police said.
