TEMPE, AZ (CBS5) –

Tempe police detectives have arrested the parents of an 11-month-old boy on charges related to the boy’s  near drowning in a Tempe hotel on Aug. 5.

Summer Dawn Angelly, 23, and Jasen Anchondo, 28, were arrested Aug. 12, according to detectives.

Tempe police officers said the infant’s 4-year-old sister had found him in the bathtub under running water at the Days Inn at  1221 E. Apache.

Police said the mother ran to the motel office screaming, and the motel manager, Gina Padilla, ran to the room with a cell phone and called 911 after seeing the child.

“He was purple and his eyes were rolled back,” Padilla told CBS 5 News. “He wasn’t responding at anything.”

According to officers, the father maintained  the child was “OK,” but the manager said the child didn’t appear to be breathing.  She called 911 and took CPR direction from the dispatcher and guided officers to the room.

The boy was taken to a local children’s hospital.  He was released Aug. 10 and appears to be making a full recovery, police said.

Both parents admitted to being aware their son was left unsupervised in the tub with the water running.

Both Angelly and Anchondo said they were asleep in bed when the boy’s sister awakened them, saying that her little brother was “asleep in the tub,” officers said.

Police called Child Protective Services, and the sister, a 2-year-old brother, and a twin 11-month-old brother are in the care of CPS.

The parents and four children moved to Tempe from California approximately eight weeks ago, and had been staying with a family member prior to moving into the motel, officer said.

Angelly and Anchondo each are charged with one count of child abuse, a Class 2 felony.

TUCSON – An angry mother is speaking out for the first time, after her 10 month old daughter drowned in her babysitter’s care.

Zada Davis told police she left Winter Azure in a bathtub unattended with the water running for about ten minutes.

The girl died six days later, becoming Pima County’s only child drowning this year.

Wednesday Davis pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.

Winter’s mother Kiari Holland sat in court and watched as Zada Davis pleaded not guilty to 2nd degree murder. A woman she thought she could trust.

Holland said she ran a background check and talked with friends who had also used the suspect as a sitter and thought that would be enough, but it wasn’t.

Holland said, “I figured it would go without saying for common sense, especially for a parent much less for anyone. You just don’t leave a child around water period.”

Its common sense that police said was missing for 10 minutes, leaving the little girl under water one minute, for every month she was alive.

It was a life cut way too short, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t leave her mark.

Talking about some of the things Winter liked Holland said, “For a ten month old she liked being thrown and hung upside down.” She also talked about how good of a baby she was. She said, “I still think to this day I don’t think she knew how to produce tears. She was just not a very good crying type of child.”

As for the suspect, the judge released her on her own recognizance, which is something Holland isn’t happy about. She said, “I’m a little irritated because almost anywhere else I’ve lived she’d be sitting in jail right now.”

But just because she’s out of jail doesn’t mean she’s off the hook by any means. If Davis is found guilty, she could face up to 25 years in prison for the 2nd degree murder charge alone.

GLENDALE, AZ – A 1-year-old girl was flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in extremely critical condition after being pulled from a back yard pool in Glendale Friday evening.

Mike Young of the Glendale Fire Department said the call came from a residence near Bethany Home Road and 75th Avenue.

The girl was being watched with four other children by their grandmother at a home owned by the child’s aunt.

Fire officials say the girl’s 3-year-old brother opened the back door so the kids could get to the back yard.

There is a pool fence but it apparently doesn’t close all the way.

You could see from Air15 video that the pool is green and murky.

Fire officials say the girl was found face down in the pool for an unknown amount of time.

She was flown to the hospital and is expected to recover.
