Woman charged with child cruelty after grandson drowns in Roswell pool
Emelisa Paz-Santos, 44, was booked into jail on Wednesday, weeks after a social gathering on June 21 where authorities allege she failed to properly supervise her grandson, Axel Delgado. The Roswell police reported that Axel died at a hospital the day after the incident. A warrant states that Paz-Santos “failed to provide adequate supervision of Axel while at the pool which ultimately resulted in the child’s drowning and death.” She has been charged with cruelty to children and involuntary manslaughter. The investigation into the incident revealed that the child was found unresponsive in the pool. Following the tragedy, the police conducted interviews and gathered evidence related to the case. The court records indicate that Paz-Santos did not have prior criminal charges against her. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding child supervision in potentially hazardous environments. The community is now grappling with the implications of this incident and the charges brought against her.
