All that money and they can't even buy proper care for their children. Dad sounds like an unemployed freeloader. |
She knew he left the kids unattended in the car. She has emerged as his biggest defender in court and calls the death of the toddler a "mistake." This was not a one off, it was a pattern of behavior that the mom was aware of. The older KIDS had to be the ones to tell that to the cops. Both parents are TRASH. Mom was the one with the big job, she was not dependent on him for survival, nor did she lack the means to hire a sitter. Both need prison time. |
My God. This story is sick on so many levels. |
Wonder if he drank or hit the gummies while gaming? The other poor kids knowing they are dependent on these LOSERS for survival and their baby sister is DEAD. Even teen parents manage to not BAKE their kids to death while they are on Play Station. I hope the older girls are given a home with a loving and safe family and that they do not feel guilty for the choices of both parents, repeatedly, to put their lives at risk. |
How is she not charged too? |
These stories are heartbreaking and often chilling with a "could happen to anyone" quality that is terrifying. The Gene Weingarten WaPo piece from a number of years ago is excellent.
But this one, damn. This guy is truly horrible. These poor children. |
This mother completely failed those children. RIP to the little one.
If it was any other (hired) caregiver the mother would also have been charged by now. She KNEW he often left them in the car for hours. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/i-told-y...S5?ocid=BingNewsSerp |
Tragic things can happen. Don' t be too judgmental. |
Hopefully that is coming. She should also lose her medical license. Who could trust her to put them under anesthesia and exercise good judgement? |
Damn, if he didn’t want to wake her, why not pull into the garage and open the door to the car and house, unbuckle her and have a fan blowing while checking on her every 5 minutes. What he did was very intentional. |
There is no hint that ADD played a role in this, and I hope we do not smear the many with ADHD who would never do this. |
I felt bad for him initially- he had said he left her in the car with the AC running to finish her nap and he had no idea it would shut off. Then I saw it was THREE HOURS. And that he knew the AC would shut off after 30 min. Now reading that his older kids told the police he was playing video games? And the moms texts showing that he had done this before? He should burn. |
Mother is not to blame. But she knew he would leave a kid in the car so he could have his game time, just didn't think he would actually do it in this heat. No one would assume that. My question is what kind of woman stays with an immature man like this? I mean they look like everything is about appearances with them. He will go to jail for a long time, he really did kill her in order to play a game. It's stunning.
And her comment: "She was perfect." Odd thing to say. |
He lied and told police he went inside to take a NAP? A grown man? Unemployed? At noon? Leaving a toddler alone in a car in 109 heat? With other young kids to care for? A college student would have been a better caretaker for the summer. Mom is so enmeshed and caught up in propping him up and pretending he's a normal adult she failed to protect, knowing the pattern.
Is he on drugs? Or maybe he should be? On Adderall to function? |
There is something else going on. No mother who just lost her child has the wherewithal to text like that. |
