Some of these instances are tragic accidents.
But some of these instances are not accidents.

Just assume the latter and execute the killer. Problem solved!

A world in which killers are not executed.

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.

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

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

I would not trust any doctor whose spouse has such an addiction because it suggests to me that the Doc is a moron!

He won’t be executed. He’ll spend the rest of his life knowing that he killed his daughter.

As a father, I couldn’t imagine a greater hell on earth.

When my outside temp is 110 or so, my PU truck is 132 inside.

I have checked thermometers to determine that.

“Are the sure that it wasn’t 108.92 degrees?”

I’m sure it was closer to 160 degrees. 108 was the outside air temperature.

******************************************************

You’re right. I have Tucson time. 108-109 was the outside temp.
Idiot reporter.

Video games, adult animated cartoons and comic books. All way sinister.

Wanker culture that is so bad that in Japan for example it may mean the end of the line for them biologically.

Grow up, shave, cut your hair, laser off your tattoos, remove your grommets in your ears and bones through your noses, wear clothes that don't look like Hanna Anderson.

Be men, loser ass-faces. Once before you die.

“Scholtes’ two other daughters told police their dad sometimes left them alone in the car while he ‘got distracted by playing his game’...”

HowTF does a grown man get “distracted” going in between the car and the house? This moron needs some game-free jail time.

What was she supposed to do, quit her job? She seems to have been the breadwinner. No, she wasn't even there. This is his fault. She can't be responsible for the money AND overseeing her husband as if he were one of the children.

She *knew* he had a habit of leaving the children in the car.

That’s like saying “it’s okay if mom didn’t do anything while knowing her child/children were being sexually assaulted.”

As an intelligent mother, no way am I cutting this woman any slack.

NO ONE should be cutting her any slack.

No, it's really not the same. If you have a hard time holding men responsible for basic adulting, that's your bias. But you're not convincing me that this woman had a responsibility to be a full-time mother AND the breadwinner at the same time. She couldn't be two places at once.

This is his fault.

She should be charged.

The person who was not there.

O-kay. That is a dumb concept.

I don't buy the excuse that with women who kill their kids that some man is responsible and I do not buy that with men who kill their kids that some woman was responsible.

Because I am fond of logic.

Who ever did it, owns it.
