LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has terminated the parental rights of a Lincoln man who’d been charged with negligent child abuse after his daughter was scalded in bath water.

In August a jury found 21-year-old Reid Alden not guilty. Alden has said he filled up the baby tub like usual on April 16, 2014, and gave his daughter, Raelynn, a bath for the first time without his wife. But Raelynn’s delicate skin turned bright pink and started sloughing off when he took her out.

Judge Toni Thorson was able to consider evidence the jury could not at Alden’s trial. Thorson wrote in a Jan. 15 order that Alden presented an unacceptable risk of harm to the girl and so terminated Alden’s parental rights.
