Written by City News Service - Sheriff's homicide detectives today were investigating
the drowning death of an 8-month-old baby in Valinda.
   It happened at 8:50 a.m. Friday in the 1500 block of Pass and Covina
Road, said Deputy Don Walker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters
bureau.
   The child's 25-year-old mother had been bathing the infant in a bathtub
along with his 1-year-old sister and 2-year-old brother, Walker said.
   ``The mother left all three siblings unattended in the bathtub for about
10 to 15 minutes,'' Walker said. ``When she returned, she found the eight-
month-old face-down in the water and not breathing.''
   The infant was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, he said.
   Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services officials
took the other two children into protective custody as a homicide investigation
remained underway. LOUDLABS NEWS
