Bridgend: Tribute to boy, 2, as woman arrested for murder
South wales policeTributes have been paid to a "gorgeous and intelligent" two-year-old boy allegedly murdered.
Reid Steele was taken to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, after being found in a critical condition at a house in Bridgend, on Wednesday.
A 31-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and detained under the Mental Health Act.
"He was a super, super-happy, wonderful and intelligent little boy who lit up everyone's lives," his family said.
They added: "He loved the garden and the beach, picking raspberries and going for walks collecting shells.
"He was a very chatty little boy and would happily speak to anyone."
The woman remains on police bail and has been transferred into the care of health services.
South Wales Police said it was not looking for anyone else.
Det Ch Insp Matt Davies said he understood the "very sad and tragic" incident would have caused concerns in the Broadlands area of the town.
"I must stress we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this matter at this time," he added.
"The family continue to be supported by dedicated family liaison officers and I would appeal to people to refrain from speculating on social media at what is a very difficult time for all concerned."
'Shocked and saddened'
Bridgend county council is offering advice on where residents can access additional support and help while the investigation is underway.
Council leader Huw David said: "This tragic news has left local people shocked and saddened, especially as it has occurred so soon after the harrowing death of five-year-old Logan Mwangi.
"Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of the little boy at this extremely distressing and traumatic time.
"Communities throughout Bridgend county have been expressing their grief and sympathy even as they continue to support one another."

People have been leaving flowers and cuddly toys at a site about half a mile from the house on Parkwood Heights.
A lion, a gorilla, and a rabbit are among the toys that have been left by schoolchildren and their parents.
One said the "precious little boy" would always be in their thoughts while another teddy bear has written on its belly: "RIP Little Man. Sleep Tight."
Between the bouquets of flowers are large single sunflowers.
Ian Spiller, councillor for Laleston, Bryntirion and Broadlands, said: "The community is absolutely devastated by the news, we are all in complete shock especially after the events that occurred last week.
"To have this happen in another community - in our community in Bridgend. I am absolutely speechless and our support goes out to those affected."
Mr Spiller added that he was aware of the community's "need to grieve and show support" at this time.
In a post on the community hub, he asked people to show their "love and support from a distance and not to be intrusive to the family concerned".
He asked people to use an area of grass at the corner of Careg Llwyd to leave tributes and flowers.
He also said Bethel Baptist Church in Laleston would open between 14:00 and 16:00 on Friday, while the chapel at Maes y Fedwen, Broadlands, was open all day for anybody who would like to grieve or pay respects.
