SLIDELL- Police have made an arrest in connection to the drowning death of a 4-year-old boy last month. Shortly before 6:00 p.m. on March 5, officers responded to 104 West Pinewood Drive, after the father of 4-year-old Timothy Brooks found the child unresponsive in the backyard swimming pool. Timothy was transported to a local hospital, where he later was pronounced dead. “We extend our thoughts and prayers to the friends and family affected by this incident,” Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal said in the original release. “Whenever a young child has an untimely death, it affects everyone involved, including our officers and other first responders. It really hits home for everyone.” Fandal will be hosting a press conference at 11 a.m. to discuss the recent arrest.

That's really interesting. Have they found evidence of deliberate endangerment that lead to his death?
Or have they decided to start arresting parents for negligence such as leaving children in hot cars or letting them near pools unattended.

I’ve been wondering about this case, too. It’s shocking how dumb some people can be about water safety. Some people actually have a hard time believing that there are people in the world who actually cannot swim. I wonder if this guy simply push the four-year-old into the pool assuming that he could swim, or even thinking that such an act would help the kids learn how to swim.

How fricking terrible do you have to be to drown a 4 year old?

"After interviewing multiple witnesses, it was discovered that Timothy was left unattended in the backyard while his father was engaged in using illegal narcotics inside of the home, according to a release.
“There is no question in my mind that the drug use, the deplorable conditions of the house, and the way Timothy was being cared for, contributed to his death. This is nothing short of a tragic, untimely death that could have been prevented," Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal said.
Zachary is currently being held on a $200,000 bond at the St. Tammany Parish Jail."
