Arizona girl, 2, left in car by father on 109-degree day and is found dead

[airportwoman]

I'm not saying that the mother has no duty of care to her kids, not at all.

But I am concerned that this woman is the sole breadwinner, is by her own admission barely home, barely sees her kids, is likely overworked, has repeatedly admonished him for this behaviour... and we're criticising HER behaviour. I worry about the gendered implications of that.

MOO

I would say the same thing about a man who worked long hours and rarely saw his kids, and his wife left a child in a hot car in the driveway to die while she, for instance, made YouTube content or some other thing that women would be more likely to do.

How desperate must this woman have been to have a man in her life, a PHYSICIAN no less, that she picked a guy like this and stayed with him? Not victim blaming; just wondering what she could possibly have seen in him.

Maybe she was one of those women who prefer to have the profession, knowing the kids would be better off with their Dad than in daycare. And IF he had handled the role responsibly, it might have been an ideal arrangement, with their money and travel, etc. It’s just tragic all around that he took the chances he did, with catastrophic consequences for his entire family.

As far as his past troubles she likely thought things would be different with her, as many people do.

8-week-old girl dies in hot car in New Jersey, dad arrested

A dad is facing charges after his 8-week-old daughter died when she was left in a hot car in New Jersey, authorities said.

Another girl, I wonder if statistically more girls die than boys in "hot car deaths"?

I have seen no evidence of this.

What was Dad doing with the 2 year old before arriving home?

The above post appears to state that the two older girls arrived home in a different vehicle. Is that true or were they with Dad and now-deceased child?

If they arrived separately, what were they doing before arriving home and who dropped them off?

That hasn't been discussed in MSM reports or by LE I don't think.
I've wondered if they were perhaps at a summer day camp or something similar or perhaps with a relative?

He said he was running errands with her. Since older kids told law enforcement he was putting away food and gaming, likely at grocery store. Older girls were not with them on errands. It has not been stated where they were.

Baby Girl was listed on this website yesterday, but not today, so I think she may have been picked up.

Does anyone know where we saw that he studied biochemistry? If he had a BS. Ie 4 yr degree in that field there's practically no step into employment without getting a post grad degree. Best he could do is get a teaching certificate for HS science, or maybe JC.

There are other certificates and masters programs he could have done from home a la Kohberger, but I doubt in biochem.

Anyone remember what degree, if any, he achieved?

@iamshadow21 Thx, as some earlier MSM reports seemed vague.

Interim complaint: Neighbor's vid(s?) shows---
Approx. 12:53 .... Chris' "vehicle arrived at residence & was parked in driveway just AFTER"... (< my caps)
12:52.... "his other two children arrived home."

It seems imo the other dau's were not w him in the car when he took toddler on whatever errand(s?).

Where had the other dau's been?
Had they been at a house nearby, maybe playing w friend(s), and they walked home?
Were they dropped off by someone in a vehicle?

ETA: Seems imo he was not on parenting duties for ALL three dau's ALL morning
May or may not be relevant. IDK
Just wondering.

That timing is so exact, ie 1 min apart from his & Parker's arrival to the other kids arriving. As though a school bus were scheduled to drop them off, but middle of summer? It must show on the tapes how they arrived, maybe there was no reason for LE to bring a private 3rd party into it.

Seems clear to me he was meeting them at home at a specific hour. Could he have dropped them off at a nearby store, planning to meet at home?
Did they have keys or a code? I didn't at that age.

maybe had a play date scheduled that was to end at 1 pm. He and the other adult involved who had girls in their care coordinated by phone that he was arriving at home within minutes so girls were dropped off with him pulling up as that was happening.

And if the cars didn't arrive at the same time (assuming the girls were dropped off in a vehicle), the other driver likely waited the minute until the dad arrived. I don't think the girls were home alone, and if they were, it was literally a minute.
