The mother of Jose Lara, 1, talked to News4JAX one day after her little boy's body was found in a septic tank near their home.

Deputy said there is a swamp near the homes and divers are on standby and will wade through the water if necessary.

After a 1-year-old boy in Putnam County fell into a septic tank on his family’s rental property and died this weekend, alarms are again being sounded about the dangers of unsecured septic tanks.

Deputy said there is a swamp near the homes and divers are on standby and will wade through the water if necessary.

The death is being investigated as a tragic accident, and an “unimaginable loss.”

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is searching Sunday evening for a missing 1-year-old boy south of Crescent City.
