Cuyahoga Falls -- A Cleveland woman is in jail on child endangering charges after police say her 3-year-old son was found unresponsive in the family's swimming pool last month.
Krystal Krause, 24, was arrested on June 23 and charged with child endangering, a third-degree felony. Her case was bound over to a Summit County grand jury and bond was set at 10 percent of $100,000, according to Falls Police Capt. Tom Pozza. She remains in the Summit County Jail.
Falls Police Lt. Mike Gay said that the child was taken to Akron Children's Hospital.
On July 1, the child was listed in critical condition, according to a hospital nurse.
The woman was in town June 19 to visit her parents on Maitland Avenue, who have custody of her son, said Pozza. After spending time outside with the child, the mother went inside for about 15 minutes, Pozza continued.
Gay said the 3-year-old's grandfather was returning home from work when he found the child around 1:20 p.m floating face down in the shallow end of the in-ground swimming pool, which ranges in depth from 3 to 8 feet. The boy's mother was watching him while her parents were at work, Gay said.
The boy had been taken out of the pool by the time officers arrived, Gay said. Falls EMS also responded and immediately transported him to Akron Children's Hospital, he said.
Ed Bonetti, Krause's attorney, said he had no comment on the case, but added, "My client is concerned about her son."
