Man Leaves Daughter, 2, Outside to Freeze

from CNN

A Pittsburgh man angry his toddler daughter wouldn't go to bed knocked her unconscious and left her to die outside in single-digit temperatures. The frozen body of Nyia Miangel Page, who was about to turn 2, was found Sunday at an abandoned playground about a 10-minute walk from the family's home. Tiny footprints in the snow suggest she had gotten up and wandered around before she died.

Her father, William Lorenzo Page, 23, was arrested on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping, false reports and simple assault. He has been in custody since Sunday, when he was charged with sexually abusing another child shortly before Nyia died. Page told police he woke up early Saturday and found the girl awake and playing near a mirror in the hallway. He said he got angry when the girl wouldn't go back to bed and he hit her so hard she lost consciousness.
