A mother is charged with neglect after her child was pulled from a Myrtle Beach resort’s pool.
Myrtle Beach police were called on Friday to the Caribbean Resort on North Ocean Boulevard for the incident.
Video surveillance showed Ana Becerra-Lira taking pictures of her child in a shallow hot tub before walking away to sit in a lounge chair, out of sight from the child, according to an arrest warrant.
While she was away, the child got out of the hot tub and jumped into a five-foot pool, where they were under the water for about six minutes before being pulled, the warrant states.
Becerra-Lira allegedly didn’t know where her child was or that her child had been pulled from the water and given CPR.
Police arrested her on Monday and charged her with unlawfully placing a child at risk of or cause harm or willfully abandon the child. She has since been released from the Myrtle Beach jail on a $1,000 bond.
The child was taken to the hospital on Friday after the incident, according to a spokesperson for the Myrtle Beach Fire Departm
