Mom pleads to criminal negligence in river death of son, 3

Michelle Hanson has pleaded guilty to criminal negligence in the drowning death of her son, Kaden Young, 3, after she drove her vehicle into the raging Grand River near Orangeville in the middle of the night in 2018. Ms. Hanson also admitted to being impaired when she drove around signs intended to stop drivers from entering the flooded road. She said she had taken Kaden on a 1 a.m. drive because he was not sleeping. The boy was swept from the car and his body was not found for weeks. Toronto Sun
