Pittsburgh's Headlines: November 12, 2026

A Pittsburgh man is accused of not taking his toddler to a hospital after she was badly burned.

Police say Aubrey McClendon instead left the girl with a family member and didn't return for more than 24 hours.

McClendon admitted to leaving his 19-month-old daughter alone in the bathtub to get soap last month.

She apparently turned up the hot water which burned her arms and legs.

McClendon told police he didn't take his daughter for treatment because he would go back to jail.

She was left at her aunt's house where the burns were covered with Neosporin, Vaseline and dressings.

McClendon then went to shoot a music video. 911 was called when the burns worsened and the girl was having seizures.

Doctors at UPMC Children's Hospital say she had to be resuscitated and was flown to a hospital in Akron.

McClendon is at the Allegheny County Jail, bail was denied.
