The parents of 3-year-old Reena Mae Williams have been charged with felony child neglect in the accidental drowning death of the girl in northwestern Wisconsin in August.

Six people have drowned in Hennepin County this year, and there have been 14 near drownings. Officials say many parents just are not watching their children – and it only takes a moment for a child to slip quietly under the water. They urge moms and dads to put down books and cell phones at the beach.

The father of a Fridley toddler who drowned in her family's bathtub has been formally charged with manslaughter nine months after the child's death. Investigators said Joe Martin put 11-month-old Maddie Martin and her 4-year-old sister, Allie, in the tub in the family's apartment, and went into another room and fell asleep -- an event that led to the death of the child.

A mother dropped off a 3-hour-old newborn boy at a La Crosse fire station Thursday, invoking Wisconsin's Safe Haven law. Fire Capt. Tony Nickelatti tells the La Crosse Tribune the woman was very helpful and gave a medical history. The Safe Haven law allows a parent to surrender an infant to authorties within 72 hours of birth and remain anonymous.
