A careless mother left her two-month-old baby alone to learn swimming in the bathtub for several minutes over the weekend, and the baby almost drowned.

The mother had tied a mini-life buoy on the baby's neck and left the baby alone for several minutes. Unfortunately, when the mother came back, she found the life buoy had slipped off the baby's neck.

The mother, a nurse, immediately resuscitated the baby and sent it to the hospital. The baby was saved, but is still in poor condition.
