December 30, 2025 A New York City neighborhood is reeling after a Monday afternoon 911 call led police to a sight so gruesome it shook even veteran first responders. What was initially reported as an "assault in progress" has spiraled into a nightmare investigation, ending with a mother in handcuffs and a toddler’s life cut tragically short.

Charges Filed from a Hospital Bed
While the mother was stabilized at Jamaica Hospital, the legal hammer fell swiftly. Police officially charged Boodhai on Tuesday with:
Boodhai, who reportedly lived just blocks away from the scene on 155th Street, lived separately from the child's father. As of now, the motive behind this horrific incident remains locked behind a wall of silence.
