As 6-year-old Zymere Perkins lay dying from a brutal beating by his mom’s boyfriend, she spent 10 minutes putting on her makeup and a wig before taking the child to the hospital.
The shocking disclosure came as Geraldine Perkins recounted the horrific last 24 hours of Zymere’s short but unbearably cruel life while testifying in ex Rysheim Smith’s murder trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“Why’d you do that?” Assistant DA Kerry O’Connell asked Perkins, 29, of her heartless beauty routine.
“Because I’m very self-conscious how I look outside,” she replied.
The boy was unconscious and likely already dead, according to prosecutors.
On Sept. 25, 2016, one day before the child died, Perkins and Smith dined on Chinese takeout in front of Zymere, who was forbidden food or water as a punishment. He had gotten into trouble, Perkins said — though she couldn’t remember the transgression.
That night, the child, hungry and filthy, curled up on the living room floor alone and went to sleep.
Perkins said she heard Zymere awake in the middle of the night.
“At first I thought it was a mouse — but it was him in the living room, eating out of the garbage,” she said.
She chastised the starving child and snatched away the trash bag.
The next morning, Smith discovered that Zymere had defecated in the living room and grew enraged. “He was scared, he didn’t say nothing,” Perkins recalled of her son’s demeanor. “He was shaking.”
Unmoved, Perkins also berated the child, whose underwear and shirt were smeared with feces.

I swear if this was not a mixed company site I would go off on this bitch.
No matter what she does she is an ugly bitch that needed a child to prove that someone would actually stick it's dick on her.
If there is any real justice this bitch will be found in a ditch dead.
