A woman has been charged with felony child neglect after she fell asleep while caring for a 3-year-old boy who drowned in the swimming pool at her home, according to police.


Brendyn Law was pronounced dead at Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte on Tuesday afternoon. Mary Dorsch, 20, reportedly fell asleep while she and the child were watching television in her bedroom at the house in the 5000 block of Malamin Road, police said.

While she slept, the boy left the room and began playing around the swimming pool, throwing items taken from the house into the water, police said.
