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.
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.
I have seen no evidence of this.
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.abcnews.go.com
Another girl, I wonder if statistically more girls die than boys in "hot car deaths"?
That hasn't been discussed in MSM reports or by LE I don't think.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A news article merely noted that he had studied biochemistry. No details or transcript.
Somehow I thought the opposite, that they meant all kids were often left in the car together. Would they remember at age 2 had they been left alone?
Did he fix them lunch bearing in mind it was lunchtime would that not jog your memory that the younger was missing? Or if they had 4 meals from take out?Interim Complaint.* Left in Car. Food.
FORENSIC INTERVIEWS (< my caps, seems to refer to someone specially trained for child interviews. Or ____? w 9 yo & 5 yo dau's, who said (one or both?) the Father
"had left all 3 children alone in vehicle regularly."
(In first few news days, w the way that was reported, I understood this to mean he left each of them alone in car when each was an infant/toddler, not that he regularly left the three of them together in the car in current ages.
It would seem by age 5 & 9, that many kids would comply w a parental request/order to either --- stay in your room, or you can be in house anywhere except living room/my room. And to child to comply w that, for an hour or two at time?** Obvs, not all kids. Maybe few. But idea of putting 3 kids in car to contain them???)
2.
And they stated "he got distracted by playing his game and putting his food away."
(Not clear to me if 'playing game 'stmt refers to a gen practice or to this specific day.
Also not clear to me whether 'food' refers to gen practice or this specific day.
FOOD. If they meant groceries, seems they would have said groceries. Well, at least the 9yo, but IDK.
If several or many bags of groceries, yep, carrying into house & putting that away would take some time, ___ min? Or was it a just a half gallon of milk?
Or did they mean Carry Out or Take Away FOOD, which might have been only one foam clamshell for himself. Or maybe a stack of them w 4 meals. Or one biggish bag of fast food.
^ Lots of possibilities.^
Seems likely that if he bought some food or groceries & took to house, LE may have tracked that to source already.
