As for the bail system in this country, it's ridiculous, antiquated, and preys on the poor.
I agree with you, in general, but it’s hard to imagine that someone charged with first degree child abuse and murder of a child wouldn’t be a danger to his other children.

Scholtes had been trying to schedule a doctor’s appointment and decided to drive down to their office with Parker since he was having trouble reaching the doctor by phone, investigation documents say. On his way back home from the office, he stopped at a gas station and a grocery store.
Surveillance footage from both businesses show he went in alone, meaning Parker was possibly left in the hot car both times, and that he shoplifted beer in both stores.

Next hearing on 9/10. Really thought he might be held on the elevated charges, especially after the other young kids told LE that he was pressuring them to lie about death of baby sister. Or at least removed from the home. His wife is not working since he was ordered not to be alone with the remaining kids, how is that sustainable when he has not had a job in years?
I really thought the doctor wife might have made a clean break, Scholtes' oldest child from another rx was removed by AZ years ago for conduct similar to that which killed the toddler.
Christopher Scholtes admitted he had a lot of bad habits — that he was an addict who drove at high speeds with his three daughters in the car after he’d been drinking and that he let them nap inside the vehicle on blistering hot days while he played video games and watched pornography, court records show.
In text messages he exchanged with his wife, Erika Scholtes, he admitted to all these practices in the months leading up to their 2-year-old daughter’s death.
Parker Scholtes, their youngest of three, died after being left in a hot Acura MDX July 9 outside the family’s home in Marana.
The National Weather Service recorded the high for the day at 109 degrees, and the girl’s body reached 108 degrees by the time paramedics got to the scene, according to an autopsy report that confirmed heat exposure as the cause of death.

He’s a danger to his other kids.
Oh right, yes, there are so many repeat offenders in hot car accidents. It’s a real shame.
Idk, he’s charged with first degree murder of one of his own kids. Not a stretch to say he shouldn’t be near the other.

But his older daughter makes it sound like this was a real pattern. Why on earth this anesthesiologist stayed with him is the real question.

How can you be this stupid?
He has shown the absolute worst kind of negligence for his child's safety, if not worse. He mustn't be near children. The judge even acknowledged that.
He can’t be near them alone. They must be directly supervised by another adult. What do you think is going to happen?
