PITTSBURGH
A 7-year-old girl who authorities say killed an infant at a Pittsburgh day care center will face a closed family court hearing.
The confidential hearing will determine whether she can be removed from her home and ordered to have counseling.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office has ruled the death of 10-month-old Marcia Poston a homicide. Pittsburgh police say the 7-year-old told them she twice threw the infant onto a carpeted concrete floor, but county prosecutors say that is inconsistent with the child's badly bruised body.
Police say the 7-year-old has anger management issues and is seeing a psychiatrist.
