But some of these instances are not accidents.

This was negligence.

Dad had grown comfortable leaving the kids sleeping in the car so he could have some peace and quiet playing his video games.

His wife was a doctor. I'm guessing he was the "house husband."

I don't think he did this on purpose. It was gross negligence, complacency, and laziness.

There are just some mistakes you are not allowed to make as a parent because the consequences are catastrophic.

And the damn heat. People make more mistakes when it's hot. At least I do.

The NYP story is even worse.

He *knew* that the car would shut off after 30 minutes.

Can't interrupt that sweet gaming time.

Crazy.

Not catastrophic for the killer however, which is why such people should be executed.

As a rational adult (female, disclaimer), FIRST thought:

“Why wasn’t mom charged? She KNEW he had a habit of doing this and in some degree was an enabler of this behavior.”

ONLY rational reason would be: She’s a female.

She really OUGHT to be charged.
