This is the part that really confuses me, they were home. I get that parents sometimes need a break from their kid but:
I know it's not the point of the article, but I'm also annoyed at the idea of someone intending to run their car for 30-60 minutes for no reason. I will admit I've left my car running just for the comfort of A/C while I'm waiting, and I don't live in Arizona heat, but dude was home.
I'll leave this article here but fair warning, it's a tough read
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/fatal-distraction-forgetting-a-child-in-thebackseat-of-a-car-is-a-horrifying-mistake-is-it-a-crime/2014/06/16/8ae0fe3a-f580-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html
That's very different though. This article states he "knowingly left the 2-year-old in the car".
Wow I was really tired and missed that keyword, damn that's messed up. Definitely liable
They know. It's a different article and also a different situation. The article doesn't apply
The only thing aside from wanting a break was maybe the kid was asleep and the engine keeps them asleep? Cars put lots of kids to sleep.
Didn't want to wake the kid and wanted the break?
Not an excuse though, should have stayed in the car if that's what was up.
That’s Standard dad-poop session.he must’ve really been turtling. But if it came down to it, i would poop my pants and let my kid live. But i’m a good dad.
