The child's father, Timothy Paul Blackdeer, faces reckless homicide and aggravated child abuse or neglect charges.

[The mother]".. then received a text around 6:18 a.m. from the babysitter that only two children were dropped off. She advised she didn't think anything of it and [the child] may have stayed home with her 15-year-old and 12-year-old daughters. "

Yikes.

“Inattentiveness & miscommunication”…..sounds like weaponized incompetence to me! Lock him up and throw away the key!!

IMO this one sounds like an accident. He somehow forgot to bring the baby into the sitter's home? I don't see anything indicating he purposely meant to leave her in the car, etc. He simply went to work and worked, thinking the kids were at the sitter's, as far as we can tell.

It's interesting their mother thought it was okay if she was left at home with the teenagers all day, without a plan or communication about that plan, in place.

I imagine they are all devastated...

It looks like two working parents raising 5 kids. One of them works manual job and the mother, I am not sure, but wakes up early. No prior history of leaving the kid in a car as the mother was not concerned. It is a more typical case of “forgotten baby syndrome”, imo. Both parents visibly upset.
