Dad Beat Toddler Left in Pennsylvania Cold, Will Be Arraigned

PITTSBURGH —

The father of a young girl who died of exposure had knocked her unconscious because he was angry she wouldn't go to bed, then took her outside in freezing temperatures and left her there, police said before the man's arraignment Thursday.

Nyia Miangel Page, who was about to turn 2, was found dead Sunday on a wooded knoll about a 10 minute walk from the family's home. Tiny footprints in the snow suggested she had gotten up and wandered around before she died, police said.

Her father, William Lorenzo Page, 23, of Braddock, was arrested on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping, false reports and simple assault.

Page told police he woke up early Saturday and found the girl awake and playing near a mirror in the hallway, according to the criminal complaint. He said he got mad when the girl wouldn't go back to bed so he hit her so hard she hit her head and was unconscious, the complaint said.

Page then took her outside wrapped in a blanket and left her, police said.

An autopsy determined Nyia died of hypothermia, but the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide because investigators said it was unreasonable to assume the child got to the wooded location alone.

Her small body was found about a 10-minute walk from her home, a trek that would have included climbing 17 snowy steps up to a wooded knoll.

A witness had seen Page enter his house Saturday morning from the direction where his daughter was found, police said. He was back out on the street about an hour later, saying he was looking for the girl and telling the witness, "Somebody took my daughter," according to a criminal complaint.

Nyia's mother told police she last saw the girl after Nyia tried to crawl into bed with her parents about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The mother told police she put the youngster back into her own bed in an upstairs room.

Police, emergency crews and bloodhounds searched in 20-degree temperatures for most of two days before finding the little girl's body.

Page, who did not have an attorney in court Thursday morning, was jailed without bond.

Clearly a nut.

A good candidate for the death penalty, if sane.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

It would be great if people had to qualify to be parents.

This was missed - from the same story:

Police charged the girl's father, William Lorenzo Page, with sexually abusing another child.

Clearly one disturbed individual...

Someone should hit him over the head and leave him outside to freeze to death.

Some people should not be allowd to have children

Given that (if he is guilty) I say we bring back burning at the stake.

Or use these on him:

This is about 15 miles from where we live. It's all everyone was talking about over the weekend.

There was another amber alert yesterday for a 4 year old little boy, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought the two could have been connected. Fortunately, the boy was found with his father a few hours later.

A few weeks ago we had the woman who suffocated her baby and stuffed her in a box in the closet too.

How these people have the audacity to appear on TV looking heartbroken, I don't know. Makes me wonder if psych tests should be part of pre natals.

They're such sad stories, but as the news coverage seems so matter of fact about it, it's as if it's part of everyday life.

Lock him down and throw away the key. He's better away from humans and won't be missed.

What a scum bag.. I guess this is what some here call freedom of "choice".. This guy does not need the death penalty he needs to be beaten within an inch of his life left to recover a little and then beaten again and again and then thrown out in the cold to die..

I hope the mother is charged as well. Or is she going to play dumb on this one..
