OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A woman charged after the Omaha drowning death of her infant great-granddaughter has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Court records say 63-year-old Sandra Laravie pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted negligent child abuse resulting in death. Prosecutors had reduced the charge in exchange for her plea.
Laravie was accused of leaving 4-month-old Zavara Taylor unattended in a bathtub on Aug. 22, 2018. When Laravie returned to the bathroom, Zavara was unresponsive.
She'd slipped from a hammock-like bath seat, was underwater and covered with a brown mat that had slipped into the tub, authorities said.
