Baltimore police have charged the father of a toddler with murder in the death Saturday of his 2-year-old daughter.

Melonie Hamber was pronounced dead at 5:19 p.m. Saturday after she was taken from the 2000 block of East Hoffman Street to Johns Hopkins Hospital, said police spokesman Donny Moses. Police suspected she had been shaken.

Her father, Tyrone Hamber, 22, of the same address, told police he found the child unresponsive on the bathroom floor. Under questioning, he told investigators that he beat the child with a belt to discipline her, Moses said.

:rose: Fly with angels, sweet little girl :rose:
 
So, she was 2 years old and he is an adult and he needed a belt?..... Boy, what a tough guy he is.
 
where was he beting her? couldnt have just been in her butt :(
 
"Father" was initially charged with child abuse, but the autopsy showed additional injuries and he was charged with murder.

Poor little angel. That was most likely not her first beating. Rest in peace, sweetie. I am so sorry you had to see sch an ugly world in your young, short life.
