OPINION

CONTRERAS, Presiding Judge.

In this appeal, we are presented the question of whether a mother whose child nearly drowns when she negligently fails to supervise him is immune from common law liability for his injuries under the parental immunity doctrine. We hold that the doctrine of parental immunity applies under the circumstances in the present case and therefore affirm the trial court's grant of summary judgment.
