Bend Baby Nearly Drowns in Tub; Father Arrested

BEND, Ore. -- Bath time took a scary turn inside James Jones' apartment last Friday night.

Around 8:45 p.m., the 24-year-old left his 13-month old son Ezekiel alone in the bathtub, when he ran to the next apartment over to get some Tylenol.

Jones didn't want to go on camera Wednesday, but he told NewsChannel 21 he was gone just two minutes, and when he got back, Ezekiel was thrashing in the water on his back.

When he left, the baby was sitting upright in this chair that has suction cups on the bottom of it, securing it to the bathtub.

Jones said when he lifted his son out of the tub, he was turning blue. Immediately, he began chest compressions and mouth to mouth.

The two likely saved his life. But

Remember, (and he stands up at this point) And Jesus calmed the stormed!” Sure small bubbles in a hot tub is just like a raging storm at sea. I can believe that. (For some reason this is currently Caleb’s favorite Bible story. We have to read it every night after whatever other story we read. If you could shed some light on this, that would be helpful.) • There was a woman wearing panda bear slippers on Sat. night standing outside...
