Nixzmary Brown's mother yesterday admitted she stood idle as her sadistic husband viciously beat her daughter because she feared for herself — and, besides, the child was insolent and sneaky.
"Nixzmary had an attitude," Nixzaliz Santiago, 27, told The Post in a jailhouse interview at Rikers Island.
"She is isolated because she creates mischief in the middle of the night," she said, still speaking of her dead daughter in the present tense.
A whimpering Santiago said she cried to her evil hubby, "Leave her alone!" at about 11 p.m. Tuesday, as cops say the maniacal fiend was launching his merciless attack on the hollow-eyed 7-year-old.
But it was the only intervention she offered.
"I was afraid of him," said Santiago, wearing a gray prison suit, her bleached-blond hair worn loose down her back.
"If I were to interfere with the discipline of the children, he would have hit me."
Even as the child was slowly dying from her beating — having been dunked in a tubful of ice-cold water and slammed around the bathroom — the mother tried to ignore the little girl's cries for help.
Santiago said she dried off her daughter, put her in pajamas and laid her down on mattress in a backroom near a heater. She said that Nixzmary felt cold but that she thought that was from the water.
Then she left to join her husband.
"Mommy, don't leave me," the girl moaned. "Mommy, don't leave me."
Those were Nixzmary's final words.
Only after the girl was dead and Santiago and Cesar Rodriguez, 27, were in a squad car did the mother finally confront the man who allegedly beat her daughter to death.
"Why did you do this to my baby?" she asked. "What was going through your head?"...

Nixz both parents, says I.
This is sickening. Both should get the death penalty and then beat to death.

Was the father's name Mr. Mxyzptlk?
Okay, kidding aside, what nationality/ethnicity are these names? They're quite unusual.

They said the maternal grandmother had visited recently from Puerto Rico. I don't know if they are made up names or ethnic names.

Thanks for the link.
And what prison will keep these two safe from the other inmates?
None.
And deservedly so.

Mom's chilling account
January 16, 2006
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" Santiago screamed through tears as her sister-in-law, Iris Rodriquez, approached in the jailhouse visiting room yesterday. "It was all your brother. You know I love those kids."
As she spoke, the roomful of inmates glared at her. Santiago confided that another inmate blamed the child's death on her and threatened to kill her.
BedStuy family values!
Puerto Rican. Folks in the Caribbean are notoriously creative with names.
He'll wish he was back in Texas once he gets to state prison and the inmates find out what he's in for.
I feel physically sick
"Mommy, don't leave me," the girl moaned. "Mommy, don't leave me." Those were Nixzmary's final words.
She could have taken the little girl to the nearest church or police station. Dialed 911, called a friend. She could have done something...she found time to bleach her hair.
