Mum, 31, denies playing cooking games on phone while seven-month-old son drowned in bath at home A MUM denies playing cooking games on her phone while her baby son drowned in the bath.
Richard Wright KC said: "The prosecution case is that defendant left her child unattended for a long period of time so that he fell out of his unsafe bath seat and drowned which would not have happened if he had been properly supervised as he should have been at the time.
The mum has already admitted manslaughter and having possession of cannabis on the day Charlie died but is undergoing a trial of issue at Teesside Crown Court to contest the basis of her guilty plea.
Mum Danielle Massey had placed the tot inside the bath and claims she left him unattended briefly, while she went to fetch a clean towel.
When Charlie was found unresponsive, Massey called the emergency services who rushed to the property on West Chilton Terrace, County Durham.
