[edit] Nixzmary's murder
Nixzmary was allegedly tortured and killed by her stepfather, Cesar Rodriguez over a cup of yogurt and a broken printer. On the night of January 11, Nixzmary was beaten to death by Rodriguez and allegedly ignored by her mother, Nixzaliz Santiago. Rodriguez was charged with second-degree murder, sex abuse and child endangerment. Santiago was charged with manslaughter and child endangerment as well as Rodriguez.
After Nixzmary's death, New York State senator, Joseph Bruno put forth a bill titled Nixzmary's Law that would charge a parent or guardian of a child, who was either murdered or tortured, with first degree murder and face 25-years to life-in-prison without parole.
