Another [new] parent that failed to develop that nagging sense of awareness.
If it’s proven he didn’t intend to harm his children, then the loss is punishment enough.
terrible sad story......
I HATE this.
I have never bought that “I forgot about the kid(s) in the back seat” line. Not once did he happen to glance in the rear-view mirror and see them? Not once did they make a noise while he was driving to work to remind him they were there? Really?
Sorry.. no sale.
probably talking on his phone when he parked the car.
and a social worker to boot. Nothing is more important than your kids.
I guess the problem with twins is that it’s hard to explain how they both died of ‘crib death’ at the same time.
Where’s mom? Or is this a homosexual dad?
This is an horrific nightmare for all concerned. Unimaginable grief. In addition to the precious innocent lives lost, many others have been ruined forever. Let us pray for the souls of all.
My kids are grown so now I do grand parenting duties. If I go to the post office just to drop a few bills in the slot inside,I unbuckle my granddaughter and take her in with me. When at home if they go into the kitchen from the living room and 15 seconds go by I holler out “What are you doing in there?!”
If it was an accident, then surely someone else was expecting the infants to be somewhere else that day, not in the father’s car, and that fact would have come to the father’s attention, with a phone call from someone, sometime after he got to work.
That makes me think the time the infants spent alone in the car was not an accident, but an idiotic, stupid and tragic mistake by the father.
We can surmise all sorts of possibilities about why the kids were in the car, and not somewhere else to begin with. None of them would make sense to me. I don’t grant parents the right to “forgetfulness” in just any case at all. Some cases demand and expect parents to be vigilant about them.
That’s being kind and not assuming greater evil intent on his part.
He needs to relieve his pain.
Not now not ever buying the, “forgot the child was in the car.” alibi.
Some people are too stupid, irresponsible, uncaring, ignorant to have children.
I thought all the modern conveniences were supposed to give us more time? Instead they are distracting and wasteful of time. They are like pacifiers that make us brain dead.
A normal human being does not leave their children in their car. Ever. Period. End of story.
I’ve been dog tired too many times to count, routines changed, blah, blah, blah. Had to change schedule, had to change routine, all that. I would die before forgetting my kids. But I am a normal human being. Not a self-centered a-hole.
Murder.
99% probable accident and just living with it for the rest of his life is punishment enough even though he is a beaner...
