Asked about digital evidence showing she had been using an app called Cooking Madness: A Chef’s Game for 26 minutes during the time when Charlie was alone, Massey said she had not been actively playing the game at the time of his death and it was just running in the background.
Teesside Crown Court heard Charlie was found unresponsive in the bath when police were called by paramedics to a house in West Chilton Terrace, Chilton, on 16 February 2022.
The defendant denied intentionally leaving Charlie unsupervised for a prolonged period of time, telling the court she had left the ground floor bathroom to go upstairs and get a towel for him.
A mother who played a cooking game on her phone as her baby son was left alone to drown in a bathtub has been jailed for manslaughter.
