Out of curiosity, if the guy commits suicide in the next couple weeks, will you then accept that he didn’t do it on purpose?

Very late term abortion.

He claims to have forgotten to take them to daycare (why were the parents not taking care of them at home or could they not be bothered?). The wife never thought to call him to make sure they got off alright. He never thought about them all day. Neither parent called day care to check on them. He comes out from work and never notices them in the back seat dead. Climbs in, starts the car, puts it in reverse to back out of the parking space and never sees them. Drives out of the parking lot still not seeing them. Finally sees them when out on the street. Yeah, no, I don’t think so.

[bgill]

He used the Hellary excuse.

There’s a huge difference between a parent turning their back for a moment vs. 8 hours.

[bgill]

I knew someone who had their kids at daycare for 12 hours a day, five days a week. Horrible. They were making three figures each at cushy jobs so the need to hold a job wasn’t in the equation.

Hmm, lets consider the facts: Two helpless babies, strapped down,roasted to death,alone,in a vehicle. Intentional or neglect-death is the result. If Intentional-death by roasting, immediately. If neglect-forget HIM in a hot car till dead. " Oops, I forgot " is no excuse for death. 'Forget' to feed babies for a week-negligent homicide. 'Forget' to give medication to a dependent child or handicapped adult-negligent homicide. How is this different? Too stupid to breed.
Were I the woman who carried and gave birth to those two,beautiful, babies 'daddy' would have a fatal accident. SOON.

She’d have personally lit the fire if it were me.

[bgill]

On his phone all day trying to pick out his next tatoo.

[bgill]

Parents have to buckle kids in, so why can’t they leave their purse or briefcase in the back, too. That way when all six kids are being super duper quiet, the parent will have to dig through them to get their stuff.

[jmacusa]

Live the rest of his life with this? He lived for eight hours oblivious to the fact he left two babies in the back seat of his car.

[trisham]

Good point.

[sport]

He did. If he actually forgot that the infants were in the back seat. He should be institutionalized and not be allowed to be in the public.For his protection and the public’s. I have a feeling the decision not to prosecute him was political. Lady Justice just took a swift kick in the ass.

[Albion Wilde]

That is not the point. The point is that children are 100% human beings even while under the care of their parents, and deserve equal justice under the law if they die as a result of their caregiver’s negligence.

As earlier noted, if he had run over or heat-stroked someone else’s children, he would have been prosecuted. The court can take his grief into account. However, full discovery should be done, and it can’t be done if everyone tries to take the law into their own hands and send him off with a sympathy card and a hug.

Muslims determine when they will inflict honor killings or given an excuse to rapists by a family decree. Americans are supposed to use due process under the rule of law. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

[stanne]

We have a lot of chutzpah calling their kids snowflakes

This is sick

However, full discovery should be done,

You really don't know what was done and not done. All you know is you read a story in the paper and you don't like it.

[ronniesgal]

they investigated Casey Anthony and the jury found her NG of anything but lying to the police. SHE should have been charged with neglect, at least, but zippo.
so we won’t know what will/would happen to Juan The Superdad.

[packrat35]

Big difference in your examples to 8 HOURS of forgetting your kids are in the car!

[Albion Wilde]

I know how much time has elapsed; and I know that’s not enough time for a full investigation.

Yeah, he was ¡amazing! His friends said so.
