Father accused of killing 4-yr-old daughter

In the latest case of alleged child abuse by a parent, a 4-year-old girl was fatally suffocated by her father because she reportedly would not stop crying. The alleged crime occurred in Shanghai's Baoshan district on Wednesday. The youngster's father was said by police to have the family name Hu. It is the most recently reported incident of a series of deaths and injuries allegedly caused by abusive parents across China and has prompted legal experts to call for laws and intervention institutions to be created to protect minors from violent relatives.
