COCOA, Fla. (AP) - Two Florida parents have been charged in the death of their 1-month-old son.

Police in Cocoa Beach, Florida last week charged Superiah Campbell and Cameron Dowden with manslaughter in the death of their infant son.

Orlando television station WESH (https://bit.ly/2qsvuRn ) reports that detectives said the child had not been checked on or cared for at least six hours before he died earlier this month.



A detective says the parents were negligent in their care.

Both suspects were in police custody on Sunday and couldn’t be reached for comment on Sunday.
