A Pasco County mother is facing charges after her 2-year-old son got out of his crib, left the house, and drowned in a pond.

Selina Ann Warner, 26, of New Port Richey is being charged with child neglect in connection to the incident, which occurred on April 21.

Deputies said the toddler got out of the home on Yellow Lake Drive through an unlocked door and drowned in a nearby pond while she slept.

Neighbors told investigators that they had seen the boy wandering outside the home before.
