Yes. Drowning is not about the amount of water the person is in but how the water enters the persons system.

But...a child should NEVER be left alone in a bath long enough for that to happen....PERIOD!

Yes. If the nose and mouth are underwater, than the person can drown, no matter how little water there is.
