The Department of Children and Families has found an allegation of child abuse against a South Florida father to be unfounded.
The mother of the same child was recently charged with murdering her 4-year-old daughter.
Court records show that Leon Paige and his daughter's mother, 31-year-old Tina Farrington, were embroiled in a legal dispute after Farrington accused the officer of abusing their 2-year-old son in June.
Farrington filed a restraining order against Paige after the alleged incident. She also claimed that Tania Paige had scratches on her face that were from her father.
The Florida DCF opened an investigation, but found no signs of abuse.
"The child was very timid at the beginning of the interview, but after a minute or two she began to converse... The child did not mention that the father has done anything to her in order for her to be afraid of the father," the report states.
Paige was not arrested.
Police said Farrington admitted to suffocating Tania Paige with a pillow because she talked back to her.
The girl's brother is now in the custody of relatives.
