A father in Pennsylvania, the United States, who cared for his 10-month-old daughter, raped the newborn and left her dying as he searched Google for what to do if a child stops breathing and talks to friends on social media.

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the man was charged with rape of a child, sexual assault, and endangering a child, among other crimes, by the local authorities on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old man took care of his daughter in Pennsylvania on Saturday, when he assaulted the infant and left her bleeding from the wounds. As she stopped responding and breathing, she started searching Google for "if the baby stops breathing," "What if you don't hear the baby's heart or beat" among other things.

However, he still did not call the hospital or the emergency services for help. The police seized his phone to take another look at his activity at the time of the incident. It was found that, apart from searching Google, the man was also talking to two women on social media where he did not mention his daughter's condition.

Later, when the emergency services were called for help, they failed to revive the baby as she had died before. The police searched the apartment and found the baby's blood-soaked diaper.

The autopsy confirmed the assault on the baby girl in which she suffered serious injuries on her private parts, as well as blunt injuries on her head.

The man had the child's joint custody with his mother. The woman has now given a vow to make her pay the accused father for the crime that claimed the life of her 10-month-old baby.
