It's terribly sad.

An eighteen year old girl from Waterford, Pa., was charged with involuntary manslaughter today after she fell asleep while babysitting - and the two toddlers she was looking after took advantage of the opportunity to go swimming. Tragically, both children died.

The babysitter fell asleep. Now she's being held responsible for the death of the two children.
