The city's Administration for Children's Services investigated but took no action against Brooklyn parents now charged in the fatal beating of their 3-year-old daughter, sources told The Post yesterday.

"He beat her," said a case insider. "At one point, she took the kids to Florida, where she had family, then . . . he called ACS."

An ACS spokesman declined to comment except to say the agency was investigating its involvement with Kimberly Cantos, 23, and Michael Jimenez, 25.

Jimenez allegedly killed little Genelis Tuesday night, hitting her with a fist and violently shaking her in the family's apartment on MacDougal Street.

The medical examiner found evidence of long-term abuse.

Cantos was arraigned yesterday on child-endangerment charges and ordered held on $25,000 bail. Jimenez is charged with murder, but his arraignment is on hold while he's on suicide watch at Bellevue Hospital.
