So I went and looked at the story-

Father Charged In Drowning Of Toddler Out On Bond

SAN ANTONIO -- A Northeast side man is facing charges in the death of his 3-year-old daughter, who drowned in a bathtub full of water.

Christopher Hopkins, 29, was arrested Monday afternoon on a charge of injury to a child. Hopkins was seen leaving the jail at the Bexar County Magistrate's Office around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday after posting a $50,000 bond.

In an interview with KSAT-12 News last Tuesday, Hopkins and his wife, Eileen, shared pictures of their daughter, Cassie, and tearfully told of how she suffered from Angelman Syndrome, a rare illness that left her prone to seizures and unable to walk or talk.

Eileen Hopkins said during the interview that she suspected Cassie must have suffered a seizure when she was left alone in the bathtub for a brief period.

The arrest affidavit showed Hopkins admitted to detectives that he had been giving Cassie a bath when he decided to leave her alone so he could have a beer and watch pornography.

Hopkins told investigators he checked on her twice and, on the second time, found her floating in the water.  FULL STORY

This is what I call a "Light-bulb moment" AKA an epiphany
