I know this is well discussed on this board. The most I'll say is that they're always negligent on some level. Whether that level is criminal or not is incredibly difficult to ascertain.
In the case like the OP, he deserves the same fate his 22-month old suffered.

In other situations, it does happen. Especially if you're off routine (wife is usually the one who takes the kid to daycare) and the child is asleep. I've been quick to judge people for this, but sometimes it is an honest, horrible mistake.
Read a suggestion when a lot of these were happening of taking one shoe off and putting it by their car seat so you'll HAVE to see the child. It sounds stupid and "I would never do that", but I'm sure a lot of the parents this has happened to thought the same thing, and I just never want to risk it. Ever.

No...it can't, assuming you're not so self absorbed that you remember you're responsible for a living thing in the back seat.
I say this as a father of two boys, who works from home and had both of them for long stretches when they were not in daycare before they started kindergarten. If you forget your kid is in the backseat, it's because he's not a priority to you...
To this day, even though they are 14 and 9 respectively, I still occasionally glance in the backseat when running errands during the day out of habit from doing it countless times when they were young. This bullshite excuse needs to die.

if this guy purposely left his son to die in a hot car. he needs to die a slow painful death.
tie his worthless arse in a car in death valley and every time he starts to pass out...take him out, let him recover just a little and put him back in. about 50 times.

It can and could happen to anyone. I'd beg any parent to not get too high and mighty thinking they could never make a mistake.

Too late for that.

That's the difference in this case. It was premeditated. While his son was baking in the car, he was sexting teens.

Before it's too late, I should say.

Wasn't the case with this dirtbag. He regularly dropped the kid off and had breakfast with him just minutes before forgetting him.
Chuck Boring is a hell of a prosecutor. Glad that he got the case.

They came by for a visit and when I asked "hows the kids" they both panicked and ran back outside to get her out the car. Luckily it had only been a few minutes but it was a hot/humid evening and the kid was crying and overheated tbh.

To be fair, this isn't exactly the situation where it happens. It is usually routine oriented, not a situation where you're working from home for a time and what not.

The situation in the OP clearly isn't an accident. And the thread has apparently moved on from that situation. Having said that...
Always that one a-hole in these threads. Congrats on your mistake-free life.

I've got kids. I've never come close to a situation of this type. I've never forgotten them anywhere.
However, I certainly understand how it can happen and I'd never be so callous as to act like it is beneath me.

I think that was proven to not be true in the trial.
But he did talk incessantly about wishing he wasn't tied down.
