How horrible. A stupid mistake has cost this little one his life. I pray for the parents and other loved ones.

I was always very careful about leaving standing water, bottles of cleaner, etc anywhere my little one could possibly get into it. God bless this little one and the grieving family.

So sad!
I am praying for them all.
It is amazing how fast little ones can get themselves in trouble.

It happened to the neighbor's baby when I was a kid. You just can't be too careful.

Too sad.

This doesn't sound good:

Prosecutors said Khan changed her story three times about why she left the boy unattended and even claimed she dozed off after gulping down cold medicine.

Baby-sitter Kristal Khan, 28, was initially charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor..
Bedlam erupted in a Queens court room as furious relatives of the boy screamed at Khan

What a disturbing and heartbreaking story. So much has been written about buckets and children; I have trouble imagining someone doing this; especially a daycare provider. I'm thinking negligent homicide would be a more appropriate charge.

From March 2011:

http://nypost.com/2011/03/28/nyquil...-drown-in-bucket-gets-1-to-3-years-in-prison/

As a judge sentenced her to 1-to-3 years in prison, a Queens babysitter who allowed an 11-month-old baby to drown in a bucket while she was zonked out on cold medicine finally apologized to the tragic tot’s family...

Khan, 30, of Richmond Hill, was found guilty of the reckless assault and endangerment of James Farrior III who fell face first into a blue bucket of water and drowned as the babysitter was asleep on the couch after taking Nyquil.
