Danielle Massey, 31, from Chilton, County Durham, has been charged in connection with the death of her seven-month-old son, Charlie Goodall. The incident occurred in February 2022 when the baby was found unresponsive in a bath at their home. Despite being airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, efforts to save him were unsuccessful.

Along with the charge related to her son’s death, Massey is also accused of possessing cannabis. The case attracted immediate attention from local authorities, leading to an ongoing investigation by Durham Police. Massey is scheduled to appear at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court to face these charges. The circumstances surrounding the tragic event will be further examined during the court proceedings.
