SC woman charged after 2-year-old drowns in neighbor's pool

The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened on May 2. Deputies were called to the scene where a small child was found unresponsive in an above-ground swimming pool. The child did not survive, deputies said.

Authorities later arrested Tailor Parsons in connection to the child’s death. Arrest warrants state Parsons allegedly neglected to watch the victim for at least five hours, which resulted in the child climbing into the neighbor’s pool and drowning.

Parsons was charged with homicide by child abuse and was jailed. No bond has been set.
