LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Police say they don’t expected criminal charges after a 3-year-old Lansing girl suffered critical hypothermia when she got stuck overnight outside her family’s apartment.

Police say in a statement Tuesday that it the girl is doing well and a full recovery is expected following the “unfortunate incident.”

Police say a relative found the girl on a sidewalk in front of the apartment complex about 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The temperature was 5 degrees at the time.



Police say investigators think the girl got out of bed, opened the outer door of the family’s apartment and went outside. She apparently couldn’t re-enter through the locked door.
