Two women running a daycare in California have been arrested and charged with felony child endangerment resulting in death and criminal negligence after two toddlers drowned in a pool at the facility. The daycare, called Happy Happy Daycare, had four children in its care at the time of the incident, with a fifth about to be dropped off.

The two women could face up to 16 years in prison if convicted.
