Shannon Johnson let her son drown because she was too busy playing a Facebook game to be bothered with him.
According to Denver’s ABC 7 News, the mother of a one-year-old boy confessed she had been busy on Facebook when her son, who had been left unattended, drowned in the tub. Citing an arrest affidavit, ABC 7 News reports, “Shannon Johnson, 34, admitted to police that she was on Facebook playing Cafe World, checking on a friend’s status and sharing videos in the living room, while her son was in the bathtub. Johnson told police her son was playing in the bathtub for about 10 minutes and she checked on him once. Johnson said that about three more minutes went by and she didn’t hear her son playing, so she went to check on the baby and saw him sideways with his face in the water, according to the arrest affidavit.” The affidavit also notes that when asked why she would allow a one year old to be in the bath alone, Johnson said that the child was a “very independent baby” and explained that she “didn’t want him to be known as a mama’s boy.”
He’s not a momma’s boy at all, Shannon. He’s a dead boy because you cared more about your game than him. I hope she enjoys pondering what she’s done. For the rest of her life. In prison. For murder.
