Years ago when our twins were babies it was very tiring and hectic.
One day driving the mini-van I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the empty baby seats. My heart leapt - I had forgotten the girls at the store!!
Oops - nope. For some reason I was driving the van instead of my truck for an errand with the girls safe at home with mom!
The government is isolated from this. It was a “contractor” hired by the government. So basically some friend of a government social worker was on the grift to collect tax dollars to run her little foster care business. No way the city will face a lawsuit. The “contractor” probably doesn’t have a pot to piss in even with a generous government hand out.
That’s murder
There is no accidentally here. The two options are intentionally, in which case this is first degree murder and worthy of the death penalty, or negligently, in which case it is anything from manslaughter to second degree murder, in which case the killer deserves a long jail term in general population wearing a shirt announcing "I cooked a child". In the second case I put the perp's life expectancy as less than if given the death penalty.
With the car seat and the child safety lock - the things that are supposed to keep children safe - this little three-year-old boy was left trapped in the car.
When it gets that hot I won’t even take my dogs in my truck when I have to leave home, they stay inside the house with the AC running.
He was probably strapped into a car seat, which are designed to be child-proof, and may have fallen asleep from heat exhaustion before his heart or lungs gave out. Poor child did not have a chance.
And they should.
Instead, the child was killed by an agent of the State ... so ... what ... are we supposed to be "understanding" or something?
Nope. I actually hold the agents of the state to a higher standard.
You tortured a child to death.
Murder in the first.
Indeed. Criminal or civilly actionable misconduct by an agent of the State must be punished much more severely than equivalent misconduct committed by a private citizen.

Multi-million dollar neglience lawsuit on the horizon for sure.
“or if he was in the back of a law enforcement type vehicle whose rear doors cannot be opened from the inside”
Most cars have rear doors that can be prevented from opening from the inside.

Poor kid never had a chance.
That’s the least of her/his worries............
