I am well aware of that. I do not know if Ross knew or not. But supposedly Ross wanted to choose a kid-friendly cruise and the waterslide was the feature that made him consider this cruise to be such. Obviously he was wrong or planned to bail out on the plans (he could not really afford anyway) at the last minute when he found the baby could not use the facilities. Maybe he figured he'd get them all on the ship and leave Leanna with Cooper when they "found out" Cooper could not use the pool, and be free to do what he wanted.
Thank goodness! For a moment there I was beginning to understand why my 80-year-old father had suddenly developed a penchant for cruises! (Ewww).
I just don't see taking a little one on a regular cruise. I would be a nervous wreck. Kids are noisy (uh-hum), and I would be worried that mine was keeping up fellow passengers at all hours, that they would be tired and cranky and bored, the safety factor of "open" decks and...well lots of other reasons come to mind. Nope. I would not even consider taking a small child on a cruise...but then the operative word there is consider, the root word for considerate, something IMO RH is not.
OT OT OT
For part of the year, I live in a foreign country that gets cruises.
No nudity allowed in the country I am in . Topless happens, but people are not very impressed.
Anyway, I was on the beach and I noticed a man in his 50's strutting around in a thong. He was very unattractive with his not very good physique, but he thought he was quite hot.
Hubby and I talked to some older people in the water. Most of the people on the beach were quite old .
I was commenting to a friend later about the thong guy. She said it was a nude cruise.
Bluck. Sorry if people think they are going to see hot young people on those cruises. Of course, it could be possible on the cheaper ones closer to the US. But where I live, the people were old because they were the ones that could afford such a trip.
Not impressed. No thank you. No wonder cruise ships have so many illnesses on them.

I know you think Stoddard made up everything he said, but according to his testimony, the seat being used was the smaller "infant" seat that had been replaced recently with a more suitable seat. Stoddard said Ross indicated that he knew the seat was not appropriate, but that the correct seat was still in Leanna's car after her trip to see family two weeks earlier. No explanation was given for it NOT having been moved to Roscoe's car. If Cooper had not been buckled in, would he not have gotten up and pounded on windows, crying, screaming, wiping tears and boogers on the glass? Beating his little head against the windows? Why would he sit patiently in a seat he was not strapped into, bashing his head against the back and clawing his face instead?
I don't understand all the doubt about whether Cooper was strapped into his car seat. He would have moved around in the car and tried to get out if he had not been strapped into the seat. Common sense should tell anybody that.
LOL...I am truly not a prude...but I don't want to see a bunch of nekkid people whether they are "hot and young" or otherwise.
There is a reason virtually ALL cultures around the world demand the wearing of CLOTHES when out in public! Humans look much better that way.

Police say a 10-month-old girl has died after being left in a hot car outside a house in south Wichita.
Officers found the girl unresponsive inside the car Thursday evening. She was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police say the child was in the car for about two hours. She was the foster child of two men. The car was parked outside their home. Police took the men in for questioning.
The National Weather Service says the high temperature was 90 degrees on Thursday.
Police were expected to release more information on the case at a briefing Friday morning.

I was under the impression RH noticed Cooper when he was switching lanes, not making a right turn?
To me, this is a small detail that does interest me - IMO there's a difference in body movement to switch to right lane, than there is to just turn right.
:couch:
Unless he were dead before being put in the seat. I don't think that is the case, but that would be a reason not to bother buckling him. A deceased baby wouldn't move all around the car. Again, I don't believe this what happened but I'm glad people asked the question because it reminded me to question every assumption.
Maybe it was in one of the other threads?I had responded to this post, but I guess someone took offense to me proposing something other than that RH is a murderer because I don't see it now...so, I'll just watch "Frozen", and sing along with "Let It Go".........................

Now see, THAT would be a believable lie. Except for the rigor in seated position.
I really feel Ross was waving a hinky banner to the cops with his over-the-top screaming, yet leaving his baby on the concrete and talking on the phone. Then all those details about snuggling watching cartoons, strapping in tight, kissing in case he dies (seriously, WTF with THAT? )---they were all just a big "I'm such an awesome dad! Please send donations to .....".
Ross thought he had the cops snowed. His act certainly worked on his many supporters those first couple of weeks. And my gut feeling is that if Ross hadn't acted like such a horse's butt, LE might have believed the grieving father act, too. I think maybe even the sexting, while embarrassing, wouldn't have appeared as nefarious if the rest of the story and Ross' behavior seemed more real. No offense to LE, but Ross certainly had precedent on his side. Maybe I'm wrong and the cops would have seen through even a good act, but I think Ross screwed himself.
And.....on another note, I ashamed to say, one time, when driving to my in-laws a few blocks over, I did not buckle in my newborn.
It was a super cold day and I had bundled her up, then lay a blanket over her in the carseat.( I knew the car wouldn't warm up enough during such a short trip.) My MIL called again to ask where I was, so in a hurry, I went out to the car, clicked the seat into the base, and drove over.
Once I got to my MIL's and brought the baby inside, I took off her blanket and realized she was only SITTING in the seat, and not buckled in! I like to have died on the spot!
After that, I kept a blanky in the car and only covered her once I had her buckled in and snapped into the base.
That can be proven by having his hearing tested. An Audiogram will show the results and degree of hearing impairment.The Marietta Daily Journal is stating that Ross is deaf in his left ear and everything else I've seen is saying he is deaf in his right ear. Media error? I still want proof regardless but thought this was interesting.

Correct, RH told Stoddard he noticed Cooper when turning his head right in order to make a lane change. What struck me with that testimony is that it did not align with witness statements from on the scene who said RH told them his child was choking.
Nor did it seem to make sense in light of the turns and lane changes involved in going from CFA to the TreeHouse in the morning.
Made me wonder, what about THIS lane change in the evening finally made him notice (according to him)?
