Some people are clearly not fit to be parents.

I won't say whether a charge of murder is reasonable though, I'm not a legal expert.

 

 

How do you forget?! Toddlers don't just sit in their car seats. All small children are hyperactive beasts. That kid would have been squirming or trying to talk to his father or banging something around...point being: that toddler would have made some kind of noise, a constant reminder that he's there in the back seat. I don't buy the story that he forgot the kid was in the car. That's a load of bullshit. You have to be on something to not notice your kid back there. 

Actually, it IS possible that the child was asleep - people usually go to work early in the mornings and babies sleep most of the day, and are generally quiet while they do so, so that could play a role here. Just thought I'd point that out.

However, that doesn't excuse him for that display of poor parenting, given it cost a life. That's inexcusable, asleep or not, I agree. Who just forgets their child is in the car, anyway? It doesn't matter if they're asleep or not, it's yer kid :V That's inexcusable.

That's possible, but if you've been a parent for almost 2 years, you don't just forget that you have a child all of a sudden. As a parent your kids should be the first thing on your mind. You have an obligation to them. 

What a fucking idiot. This is why someone needs to erase the human race, because of fuckheads like that man, we need to start over or at least develop more than 75 fucking brain cells.

Yeahh, you get no argument from me there That was very irresponsible on his part...kind of feel bad for the wife, though - her husband is getting charged with murder because he was an idiot and it led to her child's death.

Okay, this shithead DESERVES to be charged with murder! How the fuck could he forget that he put his own child in the car?! You'd have to be braindead to do that!

Around where I live there's almost always an emergency or tragedy that comes from leaving babies (and pets) in the car during the summer. On the outside it can get to be 106 degrees and about a month ago we had a 110+ degree heatwave. Where I work (a doggie daycare) we had to start offering free one hour daycare to members of the gym we share a parking lot with because people would lock their dogs in the car in high heat and we still see people do it.

It breaks my heart just thinking what the child went through during those seven hours. What a horrific way to die.
