The emotionally disturbed woman, who in a dramatic 911 call told the dispatcher, \u201cI killed my daughter,\u201d<\/a> has been arrested for murder, police said Friday.<\/p>\n

NYPD detectives charged Francis Cabello, 32, late Thursday, a day after her 5-year-old daughter was found unconscious and bleeding from her mouth and nose inside the family\u2019s Richmond Hill home after the suspect called 911 and confessed to a dispatcher, police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

Little Fabiana Cabello was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where she later died.<\/p>\n

Police sources said Cabello has a history of mental health problems recorded by the NYPD, who have responded to the home in the past.<\/p>\n

After she called 911, police took Cabello into custody, at which point she was taken to Jamaica Hospital for a psychiatric observation.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately disclosed how Fabiana died.<\/p>\n

Cabello\u2019s arraignment in Queens Criminal Court was pending Friday.<\/p>\n

Outside the home on Thursday, Fabiana\u2019s father, the mother\u2019s ex-boyfriend, Kuldeep Singh, told the Daily News his ex was a loving mother he never would have suspected to be involved in the girl\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never see anything in her actions to cause concern,\u201d Singh said. \u201cShe cared for her so much. When I took my daughter, she called me many times to check on her, like, \u201cEverything okay? Any problems?\u201d<\/p>\n

Singh, 36, an Uber driver, did not live with his daughter, whom he called \u201cFabi,\u201d but spoke to her nightly on the phone. When he last saw her two weeks ago, she seemed happy and normal, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was happy with me,\u201d he said. \u201cShe kiss me 100 times.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shared a voice message Fabiana sent him saying, \u201cHi Papa, how are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Neighbor Luis Salomon Perez, 60, said his grandchildren often played with Fabiana, who he described as \u201ca good girl, very decent, kind and cheerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

About six months ago, Perez said he noticed a change in her mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe used to come around to take her daughter to school and then, from one moment to another, she stopped coming out,\u201d Perez said in Spanish.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a good mother, but she was suffering from depression. I even spoke to her sister about it, how she was acting depressed, hardly ever leaving the house, not even taking the child to school or out to play anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The emotionally disturbed woman, who in a dramatic 911 call told the dispatcher, \u201cI killed my daughter,\u201d has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,122,124,123,265],"class_list":["post-374783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
