Two women who owned and operated a residential day care in California have been arrested after two toddlers drowned earlier this month.

Nina Fathizadeh, 41, and Shahin Gheblehshenas, 64, were charged with felony child endangerment resulting in death and criminal negligence, according to press releases from police and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

The mother and daughter ran Happy Happy Daycare in San Jose. 

On the morning of Oct. 2 police responded for a wellness check after Fathizadeh called 911 to report a drowning at the small day care licensed home on Fleetwood Avenue.

2 CHILDREN DROWN IN POOL AT CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL DAYCARE

Police learned that four children were at the home at the time, with another expected to be dropped off soon. They were all being watched by one person after a day care worker called in sick, and Gheblehshenas had gone to another day care.

The District Attorney's Office said that while Fathizadeh was making breakfast she left one child in a crib and allegedly let three children into the rear patio play area unsupervised and out of her sight. The play area was set up in the backyard adjacent to a pool surrounded by a five-foot fence, but investigators found the gate to the pool had been propped open for the purpose of watering plants, allowing the toddlers to enter the pool.

When Fathizadeh went into the yard, at least five minutes later, she found one of the children floating in the pool. As she attempted CPR, her brother – at home and now alerted to the emergency – found two other children floating unconscious in the pool.

"There is a responsibility to watch over little children in your care like a hawk," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said. "Now it is our responsibility to make sure that these defendants are held accountable for this avoidable and heartbreaking tragedy."

State officials have suspended the day care's license, according to KTVU FOX 2.

The suspects turned themselves into police on Oct. 13. They will be arraigned on Dec. 6.

The victims were 16- and 18-month-old girls.

A third child, aged 2, was left in critical condition but is expected to make a full recovery.

Kent State wanted to gain immediate momentum in their game Saturday afternoon – however, they got anything but.

The Flashes were set to kick to Eastern Michigan, but to the Eagles' surprise, Kent State went for the onside kick instead.

It didn't work out, as Eastern Michigan's Kendric Nowling was able to recover it. And he gained possession of the ball standing up with room to run.

So, he took off, and instead of what Kent State thought was the worst-case scenario in simply just playing defense at their own 45-yard line, Nowling took it all the way to the house for a game-opening kick return for a touchdown.

That was the beginning of Kent State's 28-14 loss to the Eagles, as they fell to 1-6 on the season.

Kent State was held scoreless until the end of the third quarter. In their first nine drives, they punted five times, turned it over on downs twice and fumbled once. The other was the end of the first half. The Flashes also lost fumbles on two of their three final drives as they tried to come back.

It was an ugly game in ugly weather overall, as both teams combined for 18 punts. Kent State actually outgained EMU, 343-218, but they were unable to fight back from their attempt at immediate satisfaction.

After their fourth consecutive loss, Kent State will host Buffalo next week. Saturday was Eastern Michigan's second-straight win, and they will head to Northern Illinois next week.
