Although it seems to most that there's no need for a reminder to stay diligent and alert around your child even in the shallowest of bathtub water, a Texas mom's negligence just proved that maybe the reminder needs to be resurfaced, just in case.

Cheyenne Summer Stuckey was arrested on June 13 after deputies from the Parker County, TX, police department were called to the 21-year-old's home. According to a news release, Stuckey told the officers she left her 6-month-old daughter, Zayla Hernadez, unattended in the tub "for a few minutes." [1] However, according to People, authorities claimed "she had been on Facebook messaging two individuals for at least 18 minutes while Zayla was unattended." The news release also states that Stuckey found her daughter "unresponsive and floating face down in the tub" once she remembered she'd left her in the bathtub. She wanted to try to resuscitate her daughter [2], but reportedly didn't know how.

In May 2016, Joanne Pedlow also made the fatal mistake of leaving her 7-month-old son unattended in the tub [3] with his 2-year-old sister and returned to find him face down in the water despite having been in a suction-cupped seat in belly-button-deep water.

These tragic deaths could both have been prevented and serve as an unfortunate reminder to parents to always be present when your child is in the bathtub, no matter if they're in a seat and how shallow the water is.
