VAUGHAN, Ont. — York Region Police have charged a woman with manslaughter in connection with the death of a toddler nearly three years ago.
Police say they were called to an unlicensed home daycare in Vaughan on July 8, 2013 over a report that a two-year-old girl had no vital signs.

Police allege the pair, both from Vaughan, interfered with the investigation and destroyed evidence.
