The woman – Alina Ciornei (30) – will appear in the Magistrate’s Court on two counts of neglect.
Police have confirmed that Ms Ciornei, who is originally from Romania, was released on bail pending this morning’s court appearance.
The two year-old boy was found floating in the shallow water on Tuesday 30 June, when a member of the public sprang into action, performed CPR on him and managed to resuscitate him before paramedics arrived.
He’s now safe and well, having been released from hospital later that same day.
