The day after Parker Scholtes, 2, died after being left in a car in her family’s driveway in Marana, Arizona, her older siblings were interviewed by investigators. The two children were interviewed by detectives last month and their father, Christopher Scholtes, was arrested and charged with 2nd-degree murder and child abuse. That grand jury indicted Scholtes on the more serious charge of 1st-degree murder. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy details what Scholtes’ children told detectives with Arizona defense attorney Kurt Altman in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

I've noticed that people who say "I wanna say…." tend to be lying a-holes.
These deaths are never accidents. Never. I have 5 kids and I’ve never in my life forgot one of them anywhere, and I deal with depression, anxiety and ptsd … this is also why I can’t take grown men who play video games seriously, most of them always are a very certain type of person. It speaks a lot. But this goes back to, these deaths are NEVER an accident. It’s an easy way for abusive parents to “off” their kids and get away w it.
Children come out of the car FIRST!! Before the groceries, before your coffee, before anything else !!
How is that so difficult!?
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Dude is free on zero bail right now
Was it confirmed that he actually left the car running?
Poor little princess. I can't imagine the suffering she went through before dying.
He’s a cold blooded killer and faking emotions doesn’t change that so fake he starts crying when the mom comes in to fake empathy smh! Deplorable 😢
He left her in the car because he wanted to play games!? And he didnt want her bugging him! This poor baby the way she must've cried i have a two year old and just imagining her being that baby breaks me to pieces. Why didnt the siblings check on her? Did they not get curious?!
How does killing your very own child NOT destroy you forever?
This is no accident this is a case gamer/social media brain it keeps happening all the time and no fancy technology in cars will help just another unessesary piece of technology
Guess he pulled another Chris Watts.. disgusting
The mom is a physician. Search her and sign the petition for her to lose her license!!
SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE KIDS
That child has strength in her heart. I hope and pray she gets away from both parents. They are not safe.
Malignant Narcissist
Can't believe the dead daughter's mom wants the person responsible for her daughter's death to come home. 😮😢
You cant trust fully 59 times actually means 59 times coming from the KIDS.. he was definitely neglectful
Wifey needs to be in prison too. She is a doctor and knew he was leaving the child in the car.
Embarrassing
It was in the 100 degree range, i went to Walmart not for from his house and it was too hot for me. It starts getting hot in my car as soon as I turn off the ignition so he's lying.
But did he beat the game? 💀🤬
The mom.is.wild for wanting him back. She's putting her man over her child?!?!? Wild!
Did he forget her? What a weirdo, gotta ride his video game? What is wrong with people?
I play video games ALL THE TIME! I have never forgotten my child or nephews! Like I am not sure how you forget your child FOR HOURS!!
The father has an addiction and probably more than one. His life rotates around playing video games. He was bringing in groceries and forgot about the baby…..
Remembered to bring in the bacon and eggs from the car, yet forgot his whole 2-year-old daughter.
I bet he didn’t want to pick her up from the car to wake her up so he could play video games
The saddest thing is they took his Playstation 😭
When something is important you don't get "distracted". When he uses the restroom does he forget to wipe his @55 by accident??? NO. It's called he doesn't care enough. Both parents should go to prison. Unfit to be parents
Men in this country need to grow up! Why are you playing video games? You’re not a man if you have children and you’re still playing video games.
You dont forget you just dont FXXXXIN CARE🏋😡🏋😡🏋😡😡
The mother is as dangerous as he is. She knows the truth.
She needs those kids taken off her.
I wonder if this is going to make car companies stop programming new cars to turn off automatically.
He was more concerned about showering than his dead daughter what a pos life in prison
He is sick….he doesn't even seem remorseful or emotional about killing his child! Demonic animal!
the men are going to love him in jail
Millions of people playing video games every day and this does not happen. The amount of negligence to do this is wild. I check on people even when they are healthy adults.
Another man baby takes another life
The mother was negligent by still allowing this creep to be alone with the 3 girls!
The mother is a victim by her own doing!
