I’ve heard stories of people leaving a sleeping infant in a parked car as they ran VERY quick errands, and people over-reacting by breaking windows or calling the Police. I think that’s foolishness. Still there are exceptions:
A 31-year-old father whose infant son died after being left in a parked car in the Phoenix summertime heat has been arrested because he was smoking marijuana at the time, police said….Outside temperatures were about 100 degrees, but interior car temperatures are frequently much higher.
At first, police said the father was distracted and forgot about the boy.
However, Thompson said investigators developed information that Gray was smoking pot with a co-worker and forgot that his son was in the car.
This was NOT running in to pick up the dry cleaning, or stepping into a convenience store to buy a soda and pay for a tank of gas. This jerk left his baby in the car so he could go get stoned.
Sick. The fact that the weather gets so hot in Arizona only adds. But hey, no gun, so no “Gun Death”, so they won’t be bothered to light a candle for this little boy.
