Florenzia Vazquez, 36, allegedly told detectives she hit the girl so hard on the head that the handle shattered.
The girl, Alejandra Vazquez, was found dead Sunday in the family’s Atlantic Avenue apartment — three days after she was left whimpering in her bedroom.
The mother and her unidentified boyfriend — the father of two of her other children — called 911 after a man renting a room from them saw the girl lying motionless, according to the Daily News.
