AC Man Charged In Death Of One Year Old Daughter

An Atlantic City man was charged on Monday with first-degree aggravated manslaughter in the death of his one-year-old daughter, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office. BreakingAC.com reports 29-year-old Imodd Brown Dillihay was the sole caretaker when emergency teams responded to a 911 call regarding an unresponsive infant on February 2. The infant was transported to a local hospital but ultimately died from what medical experts identified as significant and extensive injuries.An autopsy later documented trauma to the head and neck, resulting in the medical examiner officially ruling the death a homicide. Authorities allege that the injuries sustained were non-accidental, leading to the criminal charges filed against the father this week.

School districts in South Jersey are getting ready to adopt new policies in order to comply with the new state regulations on the use of devices in classrooms as the back-to-school season approaches.

The state did provide direction on the policies to all schools, as seen by how identical the proposed policies are. Not only are telephones forbidden during school hours, but any internet-connected device-including tablets and smart devices-are also prohibited.
