(Summit County)  -- The parents of a toddler who wandered outside and froze to death have been sentenced to prison.  Tierra Williams and Dariaun Parker pleaded guilty to the charges in connection to the death. Williams was sentenced to 18-months and Parker is sentenced to two-years behind bars.  Police say they were called to a home on Doty Drive in Akron last year after Williams found her daughter unresponsive on the porch.  Parker was in charge of the child at the time of the incident and police say he fell asleep when he was supposed to be supervising her.
