Steward probably fell back asleep as soon as Renea walked out the door.  Unfortunately, her irresponsible behavior resulted in the death of two children.  On the flip side, she may be held accountable for her foolishness.

Yesterday, Steward was charged with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter, endangering the welfare of a child, and recklessly endangering another person.

"Given the fact that she knew she had this obligation on Wednesday morning, she still went ahead and conducted herself in the manner in which she allegedly did on Tuesday evening into Wednesday, coupled with the fact that she knew of this open pond in close proximity to the house, was a major consideration in the filing of the more serious charges," Erie County District Attorney Bradley Foulk told The Associated Press yesterday afternoon.

At her arraignment, District Judge Mark Krahe set Steward's bond at $50,000.  Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Brittany's Facebook Comment

If you look at the comment section on the Facebook.com invitation page, you'll notice that Steward left the following comment on the page twice on June 1—once at 8:47 p.m. and once at 11:39 pm:

"To my baby sister Jenna I love and miss you baby and just remember this baby."
