I’ll bet $100 that the husband weaponizes his incompetence on the regular. Only this time, the price was their daughters life. Also, I’m TIRED of women accepting this behavior from their husbands. Stop having children with these men, please.
What type of mother are you !! Your husband killed your daughter left her in the car but played video games and this wasn't the first time 😭
I remember this story. It makes even more sense now that I've seen the wife.
I’m a busy business owner and mom of 3 with one autistic child. I also have an illness that affects my memory. I make mistakes daily but something as catastrophic as leaving my child in the car would never happen. When we leave the car after groceries etc, we leave the groceries and take the humans all out then go back for groceries…. I don’t get it. It’s mind boggling and I feel inexcusable. Hate to judge but hard not to hear.
Jail time…. mother is delusional and disgusting.
Is his wife the families sole support
"It doesn't represents him" Youve told him before to not to leave them in the car. You just want your babysitter back
After prison, he needs to find a job. Loser.
I can’t believe the wife. She seems indifferent to the death of her daughter.
The fact his wife had a problem getting her husband to comply with her wishes of taking the kids out of the car speaks for itself, she knew there was a potential for harm or damage but could not get through to her husband, why do women want a man so dense and thick headed they disregard her feeling and intuition, then again if she didn’t have to work her baby girl would be alive today, condolences to the family of this neglected innocent little one
I thought the law says that children under the age of 12 should be with adult supervision at all times?
If you idle a car it will not stay idled for any length of time
Christopher should never have had children because he really did not seem interested in relating to his kids or having kids be with him in the house
Anybody that thinks that this can’t happen to them is already at risk of it happening. I believe he was distracted.
The dad had gotten away with leaving the toddler in the car many times before. He stated he usually parks in the garage, but a Peloton was recently delivered. Since it was still in the box, it took up a lot of garage space so he was forced to park in the driveway, in direct sunlight. Selfish father.
She is as bad as he is. She is a sorry excuse for a mother putting that lazy man ahead of her children! They should both be on trial. She knew this was a possibility becauce he had done it many times before. He is a murderer and she is an accomplice! Poor kids!
He forgot about that child the instant he was done spurting her out.
"A big mistake"???? He does this ALL the time according to her and her texts to him. This was neglect and child abuse. He should never breathe free air again.
He didn't do it on purpose… He's just not responsible enough to be a dad. He obviously needs to be in jail for a long time regardless.
These people should not be parents
The fact of the matter, it’s not about video games or how he was distracted when a day was 112° or whatever it was you don’t leave your child in the car ever for any period of time. It should just be programmed into you to take your child out of the car when you get out of the car I know plenty of adults that play video games frequently and lots of hours of the day and still have responsibilities
His carelessness, selfishness, and lack of responsibility led to the tragic death of their child. If I were a stay-at-home dad, I’d ensure the kids were active and engaged at the park, enjoying different activities, and I’d likely have a dinner ready for my wife too.
He’s a f’cking narcissist. Only cared about himself.
Poor thing
He had done this in the past and his wife is a doctor. If I ever did such a thing with my kids, that would be the last time my wife would ever leave me alone with my kids ever again.
