Butler police have charged a father with allowing his 3-year-old child to wander onto a snow-covered second-story roof at their house last month.

Anthony J. Calderon, 26, admitted he was sleeping after a night of online gaming Nov. 20 when his barely dressed daughter found herself alone in the precarious position on South Street, police said.

A next-door neighbor was credited with rescuing the frightened toddler, who was wearing only an adult-sized sweatshirt — no pants, socks or shoes — in frigid temperatures.

She was cold and her skin red but she was not injured in the ordeal.

Police Thursday charged Calderon with child endangerment, a first-degree misdemeanor, following an investigation that turned up other findings of alleged parental neglect.

For example, according to court documents, the girl had no sheets or pillow on the bed where she slept at the house.

Police also found that she lacked clothes to wear. Her father could only show investigators one complete outfit for her.

Additionally, the house had no furniture except for two beds and a computer stand.

The Butler Eagle could not reach Calderon for comment. His preliminary hearing is set Jan. 9.

Authorities believe the girl, possibly excited by the new snow, about 8:30 a.m. Nov. 20 opened an upstairs window and climbed out onto the plastic porch roof.

Police said neighbor Victor Gould rushed to the home and banged on the defendant’s door but got no answer. He immediately climbed onto a porch railing and managed to reach the girl, who was crying.

He took her to his home and he and his wife tended to her. The child’s hands and feet were “bright red” from the cold, documents said, and she was “extremely cold to the touch.”

Police got there and eventually Calderon woke up. He told officers that he had been up all night “gaming” on his computer, documents said, and had not gone to bed until 6 a.m..

He did not know his daughter was missing until he awakened. By then, thanks to Gould, the child was safe.

The Butler County Children & Youth Services was notified and an agency official also joined in the investigation. The girl was eventually turned over to her grandmother’s custody.

A “safety plan” for the girl was also put into place, said Butler police Deputy Chief David Adam. But he had no details of that plan.

Last month’s incident was not the first time Calderon had left his daughter untended, police said.

Officers were called Oct. 29 when she left the home and was found wandering several blocks away on well-traveled Center Avenue.
