A 20-month-old boy found in a hot tub in the backyard of his father's Adams County home on Aug. 12 has died.
Kaden Newsome died Tuesday night at an area hospital, authorities said.
The victim and his 2-year-old sister had been left with an uncle, 28, while their father ran errands, sheriff's Sgt. Candi Baker said. A woman found the victim in the water when she arrived at the home at 8199 Welby Road, Baker said.
The death is under investigation, Baker said.

My thoughts exactly. Where was the uncle at when this was happening. The father leaves his children to somebody he thought he can trust and depend on to keep his kids safe while being away for 30 minutes. Not sure if I could forget/forgive in this case.
