AP - An Arkansas woman has been convicted of manslaughter after her 10-year-old daughter - chained to a bed by her ankles - was killed in a house fire.
The body of Molly Holt was found by firefighters in her Clarkesville bedroom under debris where the roof had collapsed after the November 10 fire. Investigators also found a chain and padlock that they determined had secured the girl to her bed.
Teresa Dick, 31, said she began chaining Molly to the bed after she discovered her daughter making threatening gestures with a knife to the other children.
