MIAMI (AP) - The operator of a Miami daycare has been charged in the death of a toddler who squeezed through a hole in a pool fence and drowned after jumping into the water.
The Miami Herald reports (https://hrld.us/1bOGdMW ) that 63-year-old Zobeida Gonzalez was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated manslaughter and child neglect.
Three-year-old Jonathan Feliciano fell into the pool Dec. 22. He was left by his parents at Mayling Brache Family Day Care that morning with Gonzalez. Gonzalez helps run the daycare.
An arrest warrant said surveillance video from a neighbor’s yard showed the toddler was unattended for at least a half-hour. It also showed the child was in the water nearly 23 minutes before being discovered.
Gonzalez remained jailed Thursday on a $22,500 bond. She didn’t yet have an attorney.
