A Taunton, New Jersey, grandmother who was warned to be more watchful with her young granddaughter has been charged with two counts of reckless endangerment in the toddler’s October 21, 2011 accidental drowning death. Rivera's daughter doesn't believe it was accidental.
Nance Rivera, 52, was just out of jail, living with her daughter and helping care for her granddaughter in October 2011 when 18 month-old Aylah Reed died during a bath, police said. Rivera’s own mother, the dead child’s great-grandmother, said she warned Rivera not to leave the child alone in the tub, but she often found Nance Rivera on the phone downstairs while the 19-month-old played alone in a tub upstairs.
Rivera has a 12 page rap sheet, mainly composed of drug crimes. Arrested in November 2012, after 13 months of investigation, the Latina grandmother faces up to 30 months in prison if convicted.
It's Taunton, Mass.

ReplyDeleteThis was not a tragic "accident." It is not an "accident" when you know the risk, you've been warned about the risk, but you ignore it. Then it becomes reckless and wanton and illegal. This woman did not turn around for a second, or leave the room for a moment and the baby went underwater. She left a 17 month old baby in a bathtub filled four inches from the top and then went downstairs to talk on the phone for upwards of 7 minutes. Those are the facts. That is a crime, not an accident.
