GIRL RUN OVER AS LYING MOM PLAYED ON FACEBOOK

CARELESS

TRAGIC

AN IRRESPONSIBLE mom was checking Facebook when her daughter wandered outside and was run over and killed by a van - and then lied about it to cops.  
Little Laniece Pena's skull was crushed by the horrified driver, who didn't see the girl as she ran out of her yard, which contained a broken gate, a can of lighter fluid and a paddling pool with five inches of water in it, unsupervised. 
She was struck by a van which takes children with disabilities to a local hospital, outside her apartment block.
Her mom Karen allegedly told police her daughter had been playing at a neighbor's house, but she later admitted she had told her to play in the yard.
Then she claimed she could see and hear her from the window but cops quickly established this was impossible.  
According to the arrest affidavit, Pena's bathroom was 'unsanitary', the fridge was full of out-of-date food and there were piles of dirty clothes in every room.

The 30-year-old was arrested on Thursday, and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
