In reply to the discussion: Warrant: Cobb toddler’s dad researched child deaths inside vehicles [View all]1monster
(11,045 posts)22. A neighbor who had been on the grave yard shift got home and drove his wife to her job.
She had placed the child in a car seat in the back of the car. He drove her to work, came home and went into the house and fell asleep on the sofa.
Hours later, the child, still in the car seat was dead. The man, who, by all accounts was a great father (even his ex-wife agreed) said he didn't know his child was in the car.
The Judge (who is known to be very hard line) debated with herself on whether or not to drop the manslaughter charge.
She chose not to do so and sentenced the man to fifteen years in prison.
The child is dead. The family is shattered, including the father. And the two other children will grow up without a father.
Tragedy all around.

I read that too. A camera caught him putting something in his car around the noon hour.
