The Queens mom of five charged in the beating of her 1-year-old son – as authorities investigate the abuse death of his twin sister – napped “peacefully” in the station house Friday before being whisked off to her arraignment.
Tina Torabi, 30, wearing a black skirt, black jacket and flip flops, said nothing and kept her head down as she was led out of the 111th Precinct station house in handcuffs flanked by detectives who then placed her into a waiting gray sedan.
Hours before, Torabi had been “sleeping peacefully” in the station house and then awoke to stare at the wall, an NYPD officer said.
She was charged late Thursday with felony assault for the brutal injuries to her toddler son Kian, who remains in critical but stable condition in the intensive-care unit at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.
The family’s house of horrors was revealed Wednesday night when Torabi called 911, just two days after at least one worker from the city’s Administration for Children’s Services made a visit to the residence. Kian’s twin sister, Elaina, was discovered by police fatally beaten inside the basement of the family’s Auburndale home at around 9:50 p.m.
The baby girl was discovered not breathing and unresponsive, and emergency responders rushed the child to Flushing Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later.
She suffered injuries to her skull, abdomen and pelvic area and had blisters and open lesions across her body, according to law enforcement sources.
The 1-year-old boy suffered multiple acute rib fractures, contusions on his lungs, an acute fractured pelvis, a visible healing bite mark, an acute left spiral tibia fracture and adrenal hemorrhage, officials said.
Possible charges involving the death of Elaina are pending as authorities await the results of an autopsy, the Queens DA’s office said.
