A viciously beaten 1-year-old girl was found dead inside a Queens home Wednesday night in a sickening discovery that came just two days after ACS workers had visited the residence, police sources said.
Elania Torabi suffered bruises to her head and genitals, a large wound on her abdomen and blisters and open lesions across her tiny body, police sources said.
The toddler’s twin brother, Keon, suffered equally horrific injuries, such as broken ribs, bruises on his groin, a broken hip and lacerated liver, but managed to survive the injuries.
The mother, Tina Torabi, was charged late Thursday with assault for the injuries Keon — while cops were still grilling her about Alania’s death at the 111th Precinct as they awaited autopsy results, sources said.
The house of horrors was discovered at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, after the 30-year-old mom of five dialed 911.
Elaina was found unconscious in the family’s basement apartment and was later declared dead at Flushing Hospital, while her brother was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where he is listed in critical but stable condition, sources said.
Torabi’s three other children — Mila, 2, Nadia, 4, and Ariana, 5 — were placed in the care of the Administration of Children’s Services. Mila had a burn on her right ankle, while the other kids were being evaluated.
The 1-year-old’s gruesome death came just two days after ACS officials had visited the home, which sits in a tree-lined, suburban neighborhood in Auburndale.
ACS had launched an investigation a few years ago into Torabi’s alleged drug use and abuse of the stimulant Adderall, sources said.
Elaina had the prescription pills in her system when she was born Aug. 27, 2017, sources added.
At one point, Torabi had some of her children taken away from her, but they were returned after she underwent treatment to kick her addiction, sources said.
The children’s father, Mohammed Reza Torabi, is estranged from the family. An order of protection had been issued against him, according to sources.
Efforts to reach him were unsuccessful.
The city’s Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet determined a cause in Elaina’s death.
As police and rescue workers struggled to save the injured children, neighbors saw the mother run outside screaming hysterically.
“She was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening, oh my God, save the baby,’ ” said one witness who gave his name as Sal. “She fell to the floor crying. She was kneeling like she was praying.”
The mom was overcome with grief as her babies were loaded into ambulances, according to neighbor Judanna Cavallo.
Another local said the mom “seemed unstable.”
“Once I saw her with the children,” she said. “She had the baby strapped to her chest. It was raining and the baby had no hat on, no coat, no umbrella. The baby was unprotected.”
Reza Razavi, the owner of the two-story home, said he saw Torabi a couple of months ago and that she appeared “normal.”
“As far as I know, she lived alone with five kids,” Razavi said. “I was just helping her out to get out of her mess.”
