This guy is a spoiled baby
When men think being stay at home dad is all fun and video games smh
It doesn't seem like either parent really cares.
Stop blaming a working parent for stay at home parents stupidity
He falls to his knees saying Noooo to being arrested but never once acted that devasted for his daughter, pathetic.
Hes crying for himself !! I feeling so badly for the monther
It really creeped me out when he wanted to take a shower after he understood the cops were really going to investigate him.
Why did he leave her outside in the car?
people do not understand that he turned off the ability he is given once a child is born. Maternal instants is what they call it and this is an animal mechanism that we have built in our bodies. Same for any animal that has babies and that is to protect it. Now a dog will have a baby and always have the urge to get back to the child. To check on it. So if you have a dog that was pregnant, then you know it will not leave and if it does its runs back to look. So how are some people forgetting children and a majority of the population does not. Well, it has to do with him and how he views his family. Something has changed as he is now locked into something or someone else. More than likely he would have divorced his wife in the future. So now instead of viewing the child as somthing to love and to care about, his views now changed to what will happen to his life once he leaves so he has a feeling of getting away from the child as its now a problem. So he is slowly losing the maternal instants that is built into his animal side so checking on the child or caring for it and even making sure its alive has now moved from priority to after thoughts. Thats why other times he was able to catch it, with his wife help or reminding him.
He murdered that baby no way around it
He was playing video games while his daughter died, he seems so disconnected from real life
is he a stay-at-home dad? He can't even fold the laundry because of his obsession of video games.
How does this keep happening ? WTF !!!
Mom seemed disconnected.
10:31 bro what is that in front of the officer, am i the only one who sees the face?
Some people just do not deserves kids Wtf
What was so important you would leave such a beautiful little girl in the car and even chance her little life.
AND parents who intentionally leave their kids in the car SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO HAVE CHILDREN EVER AGAIN!!!!
I will never understand ANY PARENTS, BUSY, DISTRACTED, FORGETFUL OR DEMENTIA HOW OR WHY COULD YOU "FORGET" YOUR CHILD IN A CAR!!!! YOU DON'T FORGET YOU HAVE CHILDREN SO WHY NOT CHECK YOUR BACKSEATS EVERY SINGLE TIME BEFORE YOU GET OUT OF YOUR CAR!!!!!
Had a newborn and a 2 and 3 year old 3 kids it was hectic every day and sleep deprived for me and my wife during those years especially working different shifts to avoid day care and never not once did we forget our children in the car there's no excuse this guy killed his baby and deserves a lengthy prison sentence in my opinion.
He wants to shower????? that would be last thing in my mind
Thats got to be one of the most miserable ways to die. Any case involving either a child or a pet stuck in a hot car is just so hard to hear.
I mean no disrespect when I say this but sir if the air conditioner was I’m willing to bet that that the baby would’ve still been here living her little beautiful life so just keep it real on wut you did
Why would you leave a child in a car to sleep. That makes no sense to me. Most would bring them in the house.
I can’t believe this monster tries to shower.
Monster
Your wife will kill you dude 💔❗️
I'm sorry, but he doesn't sound like a parent riddled with guilt about just leaving his daughter to roast to death in a car.
I know people respond differently to things. But if I didn't know what had happened… I definitely wouldn't guess that he's lost a child.
My parents always took me out even if I was sleeping. Usually I’d go right back to bed inside. This is criminal negligence especially when he has done it COUNTLESS times before. All those brains on his degree yet his head is fkn empty. GUILTY!
Ugh. Be careful who you choose to have kids with. They will show who they are. Pay attention.
The kid probably cramped his easy lifestyle, so he ….
Stay at home dad? NO, more like a leaching, lazy freeloader with too many toys and a naive, possibly brainwasged, wife who brings home lotsa bacon.
