If his defense is "distracted dad" then, sadly, I think you may be right. I'm surprised at the number of people who think that the loss of your child is punishment enough.
If this had been the result of a distracted babysitter, then there would be no question. I don't know why we don't hold parents to a high standard, since they are the primary caregiver.
Hopefully the jury will see that this is much more than a distracted parent.
He forgot his child in less than six minutes. Six minutes.
And most distracted parents blindly follow their routine. Ross did not. He turned a different way than his routine.
I just don't think the "distracted" excuse will work.
