Toddler Drowns In Hot Tub While Two Women Get High On Meth

Two women from Winchester Kentucky are in custody and charged with the death of a toddler after the girl drowned.
Authorities reported that on the 16th of November, 41 year old Monica Goodwin and another family member 44 year old Erica Goodwin were at home with Monica’s 14-month-old child. The two went upstairs to one of the bedrooms in the house and left the child alone downstairs.
Police said that the child was unsupervised long enough to climb into a hot tub that was inside the home, and drown.
First responders transported the girl to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital in Lexington in a critical condition.
The girl, identified as Hazel Vanessa Harrison, passed away on the 22nd of November.
Upon investigation, authorities said that the women admitted to regularly using meth and said that they had left the child alone to go upstairs and get high.
Deputies said they found drug paraphernalia and drug residue in the upstairs bedroom, backing up the women’s statements.
Monica and Erica were arrested on Monday the 28th of November.
Both face one count of manslaughter and are being held in the Clark County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
Both women are scheduled to appear in court on the 5th of December.
The Clark County Sheriff’s office says that the investigation is still ongoing.
The funeral for Hazel was held on the 29th of November at the Grissom-Martin Funeral Home.
