I am just cynical enough to wonder if Parker had any identified disabilities or life insurance.

Some others here have wondered about that too.
Sad to think about.

Well, it should always be something that needs to be checked in an unanticipated death.

Just as drug and alcohol testing should have been done on CS when LE arrived. This is a big omission and I am really shocked in this oversight. It could be that LE may have been deferential to the mother's profession or socio-economic status.

Life Ins? Alcohol Testing?

@Herat
Re Life Ins. Absolutely, positively. LE should investigate whether any policies are in force on persons dying under suspicious circumstances. Adults, kids, toddlers.

Re drug or alcohol testing on Father. I recall a reference to items seized pursuant to a warrant and IIRC, a cup or glass w beverage was taken by LE.
If it was alcohol, hopefully LE did have blood drawn (or approp. tests done).

The blood draw for alcohol and drug screening needs to be done at the time of the arrest. Waiting for the results of testing on a cup may result in significant levels be below detectable levels.

Are we sure it wasn't done? If it wasn't, I'm surprised it's not policy.

He would have reeked of alcohol when LE showed up. IMO.

The problem with alcohol testing at arrest is that in this case the child died in the car on July 9 and the father was arrested on July 12. So any testing should have been conducted immediately.

It seems like msm would have reported if blood had been taken on the 9th but so far there’s been nothing. MSM did report that a glass filled with a liquid had been removed later that evening while LE searched the home.

Hopefully the search warrant covered a blood draw but it may take a while before we get an answer.

As far as I know there’s no law requiring blood testing a caregiver when a child is left to die in a hot car. But there sure as heck should be. If a police officer is allowed to stop a person driving erratically and give them a breathalyzer then they should check the same in hot car deaths.

Agree with everything you say

Until we hear more, it appears the mother is going to prioritize the husband over her children. A persistent and worrisome pattern.

This is so sad. I had my first son at 17 y/o as a Senior in HS and chose, BEFORE ANYONE (except me) knew I was pregnant, to leave my boyfriend because of his sketchy/dangerous family situation and NEVER told him or anyone except my parents, sister and (later) my husband who the father was. It was what I had to do to protect him. When my son was 5 y/o my ex-BF tried to come back into our lives and there were several months where we lived in fear. I was only 22 y/o and was horrified to realize I was capable of killing someone. Fortunately it never came to that, but I had played scenarios over and over in my head how I would protect my son if I had to. I would have killed - and died - for my son.

This “woman” - I can’t even bring myself to call her a mother - has essentially sold out her surviving children to hold onto her “man” and keep some (fake) semblance of the perfect life. This is such a slap in the face to every parent who has had to fight for their children (whether for legal, safety, health, etc reasons), for those that have lost children and those that desperately wanted children and were unable to have them.

Well, if they didn't test for alcohol, that ship has sailed. Geez, what is it with the LEO in the Phoenix area?! In Gilbert, AZ, the police cleaned up after Charles Vallow was shot and killed. Here, a baby dies in the hot car, and they don't secure the scene and test the primary caregiver, CS, for drugs or alcohol.

Get it together, LEO!!!
