cnd Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 A FORT Lupton, Colorado woman, charged over the death of her one-year-old son who drowned while she was preoccupied by Facebook, appeared in court yesterday. Shannon Johnson, 34, told police she had left her child in the bathtub while she played Cafe World, shared videos and checked on a friend's status on Facebook in the living room last September. Ms Johnson said she had left the child alone for 10 minutes, checking on him once. When she could not hear any noise coming from the bathroom after another three minutes passed, she went to check on him again and found him face-down in the water, according to the arrest affidavit cited by ABC 7 News. The boy was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. A final autopsy report January 3 said he had died of anoxic brain injury, cardiac arrest and drowning. Ms Johnson has been charged with child abuse resulting in death. Ms Johnson said she had left her baby alone because he was "independent" and she did not want him to be a "momma's boy." Ms Johnson - who requested a public defender during the hearing Friday - was being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond, The Denver Post reports.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows you don't leave a baby unattended in a tub full of water. And her excuses are absolutely ridiculous.

Mr. Wonder Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think the bigger picture here is that parents have no business being on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aed05 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think the bigger picture here is that parents have no business being on Facebook. How do you figure? This has happened to parents who have gone to answer the phone, or get the mail. The bigger picture is she should have been more responsible. I mean, it takes like 5 or 6 minutes to bath a child that age. She didn't even have to leave the child at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Sarcasm usually isn't that hard to identify. But I guess it is for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphraimAdamz Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just saying that the inclusion of Facebook being in the story is way off topic. Who cares what she was looking at, what matters is that she should of been watching her kid. Instead they try to put "Facebook" in the story to attract readers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
