Parents of drowned toddler given community service

The parents of a Michigan toddler that drowned have been sentenced to 400 hours of community service after a judge ruled their neglect was responsible for the drowning. Seems like a rather light sentence…

Misty Harvey, 29, and Jamie Harvey, 33, will serve that sentence and spend three years on probation under an order fashioned by county and state authorities as punishment for Grandon Harvey’s death.

The couple pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter after they found their boy inside their home on Sept. 25. A charge of marijuana possession was dropped as part of the plea deal. They could have faced up to 15 years in prison.
