I’m Suing The City For Millions Only To Prevent This From Happening To Other Children

It’s never too late to accept responsibility for raising children you fathered. Especially when there’s cash to be made from suing the city:

The first time he ever saw his daughter, she was laid out in a coffin.

But now, the biological father of Nixzmary Brown wants control of her estate – which could reap millions from lawsuits against the city.

And relatives of the 7-year-old girl, whose stepdad allegedly beat her to death while her mom looked the other way, are outraged.

“I tried to see her. I swear to God I did, but I didn’t know where she was. Nobody knew where she was,” said Abdurrahman Mian, 36, who lost touch with the girl’s mother around the time of Nixzmary’s birth.

Mian, 36, plans to file papers in Brooklyn Surrogate’s Court within the next two months to be named administrator of her estate, his lawyer, Daniel Flanzig, said yesterday.

It’s never too late to do something for the children:

“If I had the chance, I would have taken her, but now she’s dead,” said Mian, a Brooklyn cabby. “I lost my daughter and all I feel is pain.”

But Nixzmary’s grandmother, Maria Gonzalez, is having none of it.

“I’m upset. He was never there for his child,” she said. “He never tried to reach out to her, and now he’s suing so he can have all the money to himself.”

This week, Gonzalez signed a petition seeking to be named estate administrator herself, said family spokeswoman Awilda Cordero. She is also seeking custody of Nixzmary’s five siblings.

The grandma, who lives in Puerto Rico, said she would use money from any potential lawsuit to “secure the kids’ future. It’s for their education. My main concern is the children.”

She accused Mian of trying to cash in on her granddaughter’s tragic life and death.

“He’s just doing this for selfish reasons,” she said.

Not true, Mian insisted.

“Everyone thinks I’m doing this for the money, but I’m doing it to prevent this from happening to other children,” he said. “I feel shame because I wasn’t there for her.”
