DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - A Pee Dee woman is facing charges in connection to the drowning death of a two-year-old.

The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened on May 2 in the area of Old Timers Court in Lamar. Deputies were called to the scene where a small child was found unresponsive in an above-ground swimming pool. The child did not survive, deputies said.

Authorities later arrested Tailor Parsons in connection to the child’s death. Arrest warrants state Parsons allegedly neglected to watch the victim for at least five hours, which resulted in the child climbing into the neighbor’s pool and drowning.

Online records show Parsons is charged with homicide by child abuse and was booked into the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center on Wednesday. No bond has been set.

Interesting point made at the very end of the video, but not mentioned in the article, was that

"It is unclear how she knew the victim"

I wouldn't think that info would be difficult to find out. Is she the mother? Step-mom/gf? Babysitter?

Wonder how they knew she wasn't watching her for "at least 5 hours?" Was she not even at the residence at the time of the drowning or something?

that is confusing. What on earth was she doing for 5 hours.

It sounds like Parsons was a baby-sitter, or maybe a relative (big sister, neighbor, aunt, cousin, etc.) -- the article says "neglected to watch". It appears, according to the news article, that Parsons was to watch the child. (I don't use FB, so I may have missed some details.)
Such a tragedy. Was the area around the in-ground pool fenced? How did the 2 y/o find the pool and get into it? SMH.
