Lee County mother could lose children after recording baby gasping in bathtub

LEE COUNTY, Fla. – The Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Child and Families are investigating after a two-year-old video surfaced on Facebook.

The video shows a baby struggling to stay afloat in a bathtub.

The person who posted it on Facebook claims the mother let her baby suffer because the baby’s father wasn’t giving the mother enough attention.

The video is two years old, but was just posted to social media. The baby is okay, but the mother could lose custody of her four children.
