22 yr old Babysitter allows the kid she's watching to drown, was busy doing drugs!

 PALM BAY, Fla. - A Palm Bay babysitter charged this week in the drowning of a 5-year-old had allegedly been smoking marijuana, when the girl fell into the pool at a Knecht Road home, investigators said.



The night before the Nov. 25 drowning, Jacqueline Chiara Bjorndal, 22, had gone to a party, where she was drinking and used “a multitude of drugs,” including marijuana and methamphetamine, a Palm Bay police report said.



Bjorndal asked the victim’s mother if the girl, Aubrey Alcott, could sleep over at her house with her and her roommate’s child, investigators said.



The 5-year-old’s mother agreed, “unaware of the amount of narcotics that the defendant ingested,” the police report said.



The next morning, Bjorndal allegedly smoked more marijuana, police said.



“This is just a real tragic situation. Even with prosecutors that have been doing this a long time, sometimes we see situations where we just have to shake our heads,” said Assistant State Attorney Gary Beaty.
