Jessica Weaver, a 35-year-old mother, was arrested in connection with her son's drowning in September. Her attorney, Ryan MacLeod, claims that this was done in retaliation for Weaver filing a $1 million lawsuit against the City of El Paso and Camp Cohen Water Park for negligence and wrongful death.
Weaver alleges that the water park was severely understaffed at the time of her son's death, and that the lifeguards on duty were undertrained and had no idea what they were doing. Unfortunately, the video footage that would have either proven or disproved her allegations was conveniently destroyed.
Witnesses gave conflicting accounts of the drowning. One person said Weaver wasn't paying attention to her son, while another said she was singing along to a song and looking at her phone. A third witness said it was strange that the child was not wearing any flotation devices. However, the affidavit noted that there were numerous life vests available for those in attendance.
Tragically, Anthony Malave, a three-year-old boy, drowned on May 13 during the soft opening of the water park. According to the World Health Organization, drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide.
The case of Jessica Weaver and Camp Cohen Water Park and the City of El Paso is ongoing, and Weaver's attorney has called for the charges against her to be dropped.
