Abstract

This article reports on the drowning death of Dahquay Gillians, a 1-year old boy from Brooklyn, after his mother, Tracina Vaugh, left him alone in the bathtub with his 3-year-old half brother. The details of the incident are described. Vaughn pleaded guilty to child endangerment six months previously after her child was scalded by hot water by her boyfriend. Vaugh was arrested and charged with two counts each of reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child in this incident. Both children had recently been returned to Vaughn's custody. The city's Administration for Children's Services is investigating the situation.
