A three-year-old girl from America's northernmost community has died after being locked in a freezing bedroom as punishment for wetting the bed.
Her younger sister suffered hypothermia after their mother and the mother's boyfriend left them in the room with a window open to a temperature of minus 30 degrees to air out the area.
The mother, 28-year-old elementary teacher Esther G. Edwards-Gust, was apparently on the run on Saturday, a day after she and 29-year-old Richard Tilden Jr. were indicted in the child's death. Tilden was in custody.
The couple shared a home with Edwards-Gust's 1- and 3-year-old daughters in the Inupiat Eskimo community of Barrow.
