CORPUS CHRISTI -- Laura Day, the woman whose lengthy criminal history surfaced days after her stepson drowned while she was watching him near Bob Hall Pier, appeared in court for the first time Monday.

Day was ordered to "Have no contact of any kind with... the victim's family and/or witnesses..." She was also ordered to "Not come within 100 yards of any school... or other public or private places where children usually congregate."

Day's stepson, Taylor Syring, 6, drowned Oct. 5 after he was swimming unsupervised without a life preserver.

She appeared in court with the boy's father this afternoon.

Day did not answer any questions when she left the courthouse, but said reports that she did not give Taylor CPR were "not true."

The district attorney's office said additional charges are possible.
