A Wisconsin mother was arrested this week after her 1 year old son drowned in the bathtub while she cooked breakfast.

Selena Doxzon, 28, informed investigators that after giving her two sons, aged 3 and 1, a bath, she left them in the tub to play as she moved to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and start washing dishes, according to WDJT.

She recounted being in the kitchen for about four minutes when her older child entered the room “soaking wet.” She then went to the bathroom to retrieve a towel and discovered her younger son floating face up and unresponsive, Law&Crime reported.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said a nearby neighbor responded to Doxzon’s calls for assistance and helped perform CPR until medical professionals arrived. The child, named Asher Wyatt Doxzon, was transported to Children’s Wisconsin hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to the criminal complaint, Doxzon said she usually washed the boys separately and only recently had begun putting the younger child into the tub instead of the sink, WDJT said.

According to the complaint, the water in the tub was about 3 1/2 to 4 inches deep, reaching the older boy’s belly when he sat in the tub. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation as a result of drowning.

Doxzon was charged with on count of neglect of a child causing death. Her bond was set at $10,000, and she is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on May 30.
