She took a leave, so she is the "family member present." She seems co-dependent or something with him though. Very odd vibe to both in all this. My heart goes out to the older 2 girls. JMOO.
He doesn't have to avoid them, he can't be alone with them as a caregiver. There were no prohibitions re: driving. I assume his SUV is currently impounded but mom has a Tesla and is on leave from work.
Going by the wording of her pleading in court, imo supporting him as though he's one of her children. (Imo) So, i think it's fair to critique that aspect, while retaining sympathy for losing her baby.

Mother's & Father's Texts. When? Where?
sbm @NuttMegg Thx for your post.
1.
If MSM quote of LE's complaint's quote of text* is accurate, is a bit unusual that TEXT has full sentences, std. grammar, NO abbreviations? Maybe w med training & experience, she maintains calm demeanor regardless of circumstances?
And HIS responding texts, w no abbrev's, etc?
2.
HOW did they go to hosp? Why text in transit?
A. Did both Mo. & Fa. ride in AMBU. TOGETHER?
If so, is it likely she since that text* in ambu, w him right there? Unless one parent was in ambu med bay & other in front cab, they could talk or whisper to ea other, so why text?
B. SEPARATELY, w Mo. in ambu & Fa. driving car?
Or would she have been focussing only on dau, perhaps offering guidance, wanted or unwanted, to EMTs?
C. If they went to hosp together in ONE CAR then why TEXT instead of talk? Unless they had dau(s) w them?
D. Other way to hosp, e.g., Uber, neighbor, relative? Together or separately?
Both ^ points puzzle me.
Maybe or likely because I'm the only person left in the US who doesn't text.

@Judy Sleuth Thx for response.
The mother went in the ambulance with the child. The father was with LE at the home.Mother's & Father's Texts. When? Where?

Yet trying to make it that she is doing what is best for her surviving kids, when I may disagree that it is. JMOO. She seems like an enabler. No reason at all she could not have hired childcare at least PT. The dynamic between the parents seems unhealthy and he seemed to be "showing her" he'd do as he pleased or using care practices to upset her. Indifferent to the impact on kids. Again, JMOO.
@LifeIsAMystery Thx for responding.
I am curious if he has ADHD… the hyperfocus on the videogame and time blindness are typical for someone with ADHD. Not an excuse of course, just curious.

No, imo. He frequently left the kids in the car as kind of a containment device while he gamed per the older kids. Per your link he knew she was there and that AC would shut off. Was not a mistake about either of those facts. I think he got caught up in gaming and whatever was in the glass and chose to ignore those responsibilities.I am trying to catch up with all the posts since I left earlier, but in terms of the below, is the consensus that he forgot she was out there?
Father knew A/C in car would shut off in half hour
'How could I do this?': He left his daughter in a hot car for hours. She died
Marana police say Christoper Scholtes, 37, intentionally left his daughter in the car that afternoon and had done so before.www.azcentral.com
I think he’s claiming he forgot she was in the car for three hours. I’m not sure exactly how he explained it but it seems like he’s saying he planned to get the girl from the car when the app alerted that the car engine turned off.I am trying to catch up with all the posts since I left earlier, but in terms of the below, is the consensus that he forgot she was out there?
