Popping my posting cherry. Please forgive any mistakes in advance.
Didn't see anything on this. So sick of lame excuses for these children's deaths.
For now, Daniel Grafton, 31, is charged with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of Mason Hunt, 2, the son of his gf, Shannon Mathews.
Seems as if when he found the child unresponsive, aka dead, in the bathtub he forgot he and his gf live in an apartment above a doctor's office where Mason's mom works. It appears to have taken an hour or so for him to get his story together/decide what to do/remember there is a family practitioner downstairs from him along with the child's mother.
Mom says she went by the apartment with snacks for the two an hour before he brought Mason down.
Man discombobulated by murderous bathtub:
The doctor at the office stated on camera the child was cold to the touch, his lips were blue and she could not find a pulse. Also,

Around 4:40 p.m. Grafton walked downstairs into the doctor’s office carrying Mason’s limp body in his arms while screaming the boy wasn’t breathing, according to the criminal complaint. Grafton told his girlfriend as well as Dr. Patricia Sutton, who was working at the time, that he had left Mason alone in the tub to grab cheese curls and when he returned to the bathroom he found the boy lying face down in the tub, not breathing.

In the affidavit, investigators indicated that Sutton noted multiple bruises on the child’s body, face, head, eye, abdomen and extremities; his right pupil was dilated and his left eye was constricted. Mason’s skin was cool to the touch. Medics noted the same feeling of his skin being cold, as well as ashen, according to the court document.
Mason was transported to Taylor Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:52 p.m.
After his death, hospital staff noticed numerous bruises on his face, head, shoulder, chest, elbow, genitals and anus, according to the affidavit. There were several deep bruises on the right and left side of his body, the court documented. The injuries were photographed for evidence.
