Leaves toddler in hot car on purpose knowing it would kill her.

These parents aren’t “forgetting” their kids are in the back. They do it on purpose and safety features inside a car wont help. They’ll just say they were listening to a podcast or music on ear pods so they couldn’t hear the alarm. They’ll come up with any story to feign ignorance about leaving their kid behind in the heat

He first told LE he went in to take a nap. Could have taken one in the car with the child.

Another leaving a kid in a hot car case.

Serious jail time might help change parental behavior. Caring about the kid doesn't seem to. But, authorities don't hold them accountable either. Boat mom and dad have not been charged in AZ. Her dad is LE. And CS is back home and may not even get jail time given his wife's $ for lawyers and pleas on his behalf.

Cliche, but, would be nice if someone thought of the CHILDREN. Repeated patterns are not one off mistakes.

Info on the boat case - this is horrible. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/GMA/Family/4-month-baby-dies-extreme-heat-wave-tips/story?id=111853523

Mom got the bikini shot 4 mos post partum "snapped back" though, posted before the baby expired, earlier on the 4th. Matching outfits on all for the gram.

Encasing the baby in a too large flotation device on a day it was over 120 likely did not help, nor would the sun reflecting off the water. And they posted photos of them in the hospital with the dying child all over socials. Wonder if those parents were drinking? There is an older child in that family too. Smh. It is a man made lake in a DESERT, does no one have common sense anymore?

Young kids and the elderly do not regulate temps as well. Even in light of that 7/4 tragedy widely covered in media, CS did not alter his chosen patterns of behavior, mere weeks later, also in AZ. "You can't tell me" to his wife, to the Family Court judge - is it callousness? Selfishness? Acting out some kind of antisocial rage? He used doc wife for $, fancy trips and cars and as a way to not pay child support, no income. That she continues to coddle and make excuses for him is as crazy as the other couple posting images from the ICU of their dying infant. Being a parent used to be something that encouraged people to GROW UP and put others first. Even most TEEN parents manage to not kill their small children.

While definitely an error on the parents' part (120 degree heat! omg!) I don't feel it is as egregious or hard to comprehend as the CS case. They didn't understand the danger the heat posed to a child that young and they didn't know the signs that their child was in distress due to the heat (likely because the child was "napping"). Still absolutely awful but I think it's a case of true ignorance and not of willful negligence. Perhaps we should be more forceful in issuing heat advisories for very high temps when it comes to kids and maybe people need to be better educated on the fact that infants don't regulate their own temperature well. I had a baby in August in DC and I remember getting harassed by freinds and family members because I generally didn't put clothes on her when we were out of the house (just a thin blanket or cover to protect her from the sun) because I didn't want her to overheat in DC's 90+ weather with high humidity. A lot of people seem to erroneously believe babies can only be too cold and not to hot and a lot of older people constantly want to put more clothes and blankets on them. There is clearly misunderstanding about this.

But CS had been told by his wife not to leave the kids in the car. And also unlike the people on the boat he left his kid in a car and then totally forgot about her. For hours. As a PP put it upthread the best case scenario here would be that his daughter woke up and spent HOURS crying and hungry and alone in a vehicle while he played video games inside. He didn't just misunderstand the danger the heat posed to his kid (but also that) he straight up neglected a 2 year old and left her totally unattended for several hours. That by itself is child neglect even if it had not been 109 degrees and she had not been inside a car (though obviously these facts make it much much worse).

In the context of this guy, I don't think he forgot. I think he literally did not want to be bothered. He had his VR games and drink to get on. He didn't care what his wife said, "Sorry Babe!" re: KILLING THE CHILD conveys a lot, actually. He pushed the envelope repeatedly, like with the not showing up in court over and over, even after civil arrest warrants had been issued. This poor child, what a horrible death.

I think he will retaliate against the others for "telling" what he was doing at some point. He's not a good guy. His treatment of the first family should have been a clue, but rarely seems to be.
