A Texas mom has been accused of allowing her three-year-old son to drown at a water park as she allegedly 'spent hours looking at her phone and singing along to music,' witnesses told police.

Anthony Leo Malave, 3, died May 13 after being found unresponsive in a four-foot pool at the Camp Cohen Water Park, in El Paso Texas.

The boy's mother, Jessica Weaver, 35, has been accused of negligence and was arrested in connection with the drowning on August 30 and charged with injury to a child by omission.

Seven witnesses revealed the shocking behavior of a woman matching Weaver's description the day Anthony died.

They detailed the careless and avoidable nature of the incident in a police report obtained by KFOX.

Witness one said 'a woman, matching Weaver's description, was on her phone, sitting outside of a pool for over an hour.'

They added that the person 'never looked up or paid attention to anything.'

Two witnesses said that they saw the boy without his mother adding that they saw 'Weaver laying down and singing along to her phone, for approximately seven minutes before the toddler was pulled out of the water.'

Another said: 'A woman matching Weaver's description that day, encouraged the toddler to go into the pool before walking away and leaving the boy by himself.'

This same witness also said that 'it took Weaver five minutes to run to the pool after lifeguards had blown the whistle for everyone to get out.'

As the devastating drowning was unfolding one witness told police they believed 'Weaver was in the water park by herself' as they didn't see her with a child.

'Weaver did not immediately react to the situation and was surprised to learn that she was the mother of the drowning child when Weaver jumped in the water.'

Several more damning allegations were laid against the Texas mom with one witness claiming that they saw two three-year-olds swimming 'unattended and without a life vest,' before noting that the life vests were free for anyone to use.

Weaver's apathetic parenting style was also brought into question by one witness who claimed that the her son had been 'spitting chips' into the pool but was too busy on her phone to care or realize.

According to the arrest report, this last witness called the police and filed a report regarding Weaver's apparent lack of concern for her child while at the water park that day.

The police document also states that the capacity at the water park is 1,460 and that there were approximately only 466 people that day and life vests were available.

Weaver's legal counsel Ryan MacLeod earlier shirked blame saying that the city was 'more concerned with filling the park for a soft opening than safety,' Fox News reported.

A press conference with El Paso District Attorney Bill Hick's was called a 'political stunt' by MacLeod when he said 'a lifeguard is not a babysitter.'

'They're a last resort in hopefully saving a life,' Hick's said in a press conference at the time of the arrest.

MacLeod believes that the city is pursuing legal action against Weaver because she filed a lawsuit against the city and said the DA should be pursuing charges against the 17 lifeguards on duty that day.

DailyMail.com has contacted MacLeod and the DA's office for comment but did not immediately here back.

Its the mother's fault she was negligent.... but..









Nobody else saw a 3 year old drowning including the lifeguard?

They witnessed moms on her phone and son spitting chips in the pool.. but nobody witness a kid drowning?

Yea its her fault but these "witnesses" sat there and did nothing. Watched the boy drown and watched his mama!!! They should be charged with something also

bi#ch was on live and............nevermind. RIP to lil bro.

If I saw that I'm dragging that kid by the ear around the park until I find his parents

Too many pple got that “not my problem” attitude. It takes a village. They coulda prevented it by speaking up way before and getting her kicked out or causing it to her attention. But who knows woulda happened another way another day. That mother a piece of garbage

The average human right now is dumber than the average human 30 yrs ago

Dumb bit thought it was a daycare

If I take my kid to a pool and/or water park, they ain’t leaving my side, it’s as simple as that.

& like everybody said, how TF nobody saw this kid struggling at all?

Sad situation all around

Crazy eyes. RIP to the kid. People be self medicating with this social media and sh1t. Gotta be mental illness to leave a kid that you unattended at a water park so you can play on your ig. Probably posting pictures of her kid to get likes

Fadda Ryker said 🔗 Blessing in disguise No more child support

Weirdo

Social media adds nothing to society other than rotting peoples brains and making scumbags famous.

Leave it up to the “you know who’s” to create something so poisonous for the sole purpose of getting filthy rich and controlling people.

If I was President they would JFK me because all these bullsh1t Apps and “platforms” would be banned immediately and indefinitely.
Take that sh1t somewhere else.

This sh1t pisses me off. What a terrible bi#ch. Hope they beat her ass

So the water park and lifeguards aren’t at fault, at all? What’s the point of lifeguards? Unless that specific pool wasn’t supervised.

Sad sh1t RIP little man, didn't even make it to ten. Mom in love with her phone than her own kid SMH. Why didn't the lifeguards notice little man? New rules have to be put in place that if lifeguards don't see any parental figure around kids they must intervene and make sure they are accompanied.

She got those crazy eyes

Super sad truth PLUS we had more wonder and imagination back then…
Now we have AI and such for the non creatives who wanted to be creative …
These fu#kers also beat the mystery outta everything and swear they know sh1t yet still need google for everything

RIP to the kid and fu#k his airhead cornball a$s mom I hope she shoulders that with her forever and never looks at her phone the same again

Sad situation no one spoke up, but I get how it happens. I almost drowned in the wave pool at a water park in Florida while on vacation as a kid. This lady floating by on one of those inflatable tubes saw me and snatched me up by me trunks.

It’s not the responsibility of others to watch your kid in public. I almost fought a guy at a trampoline park for that very reason. R.I.P. to the kid.

Word up…Hella weirdos frequent spots where children are and if you’re not aware? You can lose your kid in a number of ways…
RIP to the kid poor little guy…
She is one of those who let their children run amok…
The types whose kids are eating candy on the grocery line
That they ain’t paid for nor plan to…

Average height for a 3 year old is 3-3.5 ft. Why are you putting them in water above their head and leaving them unattended?

What a horrible, tragic, avoidable fu#k up.

Damn how'd you almost get into the fight?

So much fu#kery to unpack here..That video really pissed me off this morning..

bi#ch had the nerve to sue the water park and the city for her childs death knowing she was partially to blame..

But I can’t help to feel the city only filed charges against her AFTER she sued the city to cover their own ass..

Then of course the rotten bi#ch documented everything on social media like a grieving mother knowing damn well she neglected that baby

I got real issues with people that hold others accountable for their fu#k ups..


Rest Up Lil’ Man you got dealt a bad hand being birthed by this rotten funky bi#ch.
