Father Who Had Two Children With His Own Daughter ‘Starved 15-Month-Old Daughter to Death’

man and his 23-year-old daughter have been arrested outside Atlanta after the man’s infant daughter starved to death and three other children and a disabled adult were found to be severely malnourished, police said Friday.

The 15-month-old infant daughter was brought to the hospital, but was already dead upon arrival. Doctor’s believe the infant was mistreated based on her appearance.

The father, Calvin Mcintosh, was living at a motel where police found the infant’s mother, a 21-year-old woman weighing only 59 pounds, wrapped in blankets on the floor. The woman, identified as Iasia Sweeting, was reported missing in 2010. Police also found three other children, ages 5, 3 and 3, who were severely malnourished. Mcintosh, 44, reportedly ordered his 23-year-old daughter, Najaa Mcintosh to deprive Sweeting and the children of food if they misbehaved.

Mcintosh and his daughter now face an array of charges, including felony and malice murder, cruelty to children, and cruelty to a physically disabled adult. The man was also charged with rape, incest and aggravated sodomy of his daughter.

Sweeting and the three surviving children all required medical attention. Police have placed the three children under state custody while Sweeting remains in the hospital in serious condition.
