WINCHESTER, Ky. (FOX 56) – Two Clark County women have been charged in the death of a 14-month-old child.

Court documents accuse 41-year-old Monica Goodwin and 44-year-old Erica Goodwin of leaving a child alone while they used drugs. Both women admitted to regularly during meth during an interview with Social Services.

On Nov. 16, the two adults took drugs while the child was left alone downstairs long enough to climb into an inside hot tub and drown, according to the criminal complaint.

In an upstairs bedroom, documents said drug paraphernalia and drug residue were located.

“The circumstances surrounding this incident manifest an extreme indifference to human life and created a grave risk of death to the child,” reads the complaint.

Both women face a second-degree manslaughter charge and are scheduled to appear in court on Monday, Dec. 5. They are being held in Clark County Detention Center on $50,000 bonds.
