LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 28-year-old Lincoln woman has been charged in connection with the drowning death of her stepson.

Lincoln police Wednesday charged Jacqueline Cooley with felony child abuse in the January death of 2-year-old Jase Queen.

Police say Cooley found her stepson face down and not breathing in a bathtub filled with about 10 inches of water. She told police that she left the child, who had Down syndrome, unattended for a few minutes while seeking a towel.

Cooley attempted CPR but he was pronounced dead days later at an Omaha hospital.

Investigators say Cooley frequently left children alone in the bathtub, including Jase in November 2015. After being found not breathing, he was revived.

Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
