His story makes 0 sense...if the baby was sleep that's exactly when you bring her inside in the car seat. It's obvious he cared more about that video game than his own child smh
Yes, but it just now reached these high temps. He just got lucky the previous times. Father's shouldn't prioritize video games over their children. You don't get those years back, or any future ones now either.
And anesthesiologists Make bank! She should have hired a nanny especially knowing he was neglecting the kids in a very dangerous way.. she is culpable It was not a mistake
@@abigailandino6251 You have no idea if she was asleep or not while all this was going on. He didn't bother to check on her for 3 hours. She could have been struggling to breathe, she could have been vomiting, she could have been struggling to get out of her car seat. She may have actually suffered quite a bit.
All irrelevant, why was the child left in the car in the first place with the air on in other words he was clearly planning to go right back. Otherwise you'd shut off the car and forgot the child right from the start which is usually the case.
@@MsKiprusoffShe’s a working mom, and he’s a stay-at-home dad who was responsible to take care of their children. There’s nothing wrong with him being a stay-at-home dad- but he’s an incompetent one. She had to tell her husband before to not to leave their children in the car unattended.
His wife wrote in her text, "How many times have I told you?" How can you write that text and then say in court he is an amazing father if he has done this OBVIOUSLY before?!!!! He he doesn't DESERVE to go to her funeral!! He deserves to grieve alone, after all his daughter had to die alone because of HIM!!!!! They get NO sympathy!!!! Pathetic!!!!!
@@trishrogers9980 he left her in the car on purpose despite the fact that he’d been told to stop doing that. You’re absolutely right and you said it so well: he doesn’t belong at her funeral. He should’ve been made to grieve alone like he made his daughter die alone.
Yeah also I’m shocked how they could even text so clearly without any mistakes after knowing your child is dead. I wouldn’t be able to see clearly let alone text perfectly. Idk this case gives me the chills
Yeah we all know his thought pattern here. He didn’t want to wake her up to take her inside because then he would have undisturbed time to himself. At least for 30min. But video games suck u in quickly and it’s a total time warp.
Yup, that was the real reason. He chose to leave her in a car on a hot day that was guaranteed to turn off, at the risk of forgetting to return, just so he didn't ruin the chance of playing video games and being a child. Most children, if they've fallen asleep in the car, they can typically stay asleep if you bring them in gently and with care. This man just did not care to even try. How sad and tragic.
If I was her I would divorce that man because apparently she had to deal with it 37 times that’s too much to have someone not pay attention to their children regarding heat and yet she wants him back home he most likely do it again with his other kids if he already did it 37 times before their youngest death
Well my parents left us in the car ALL the TIME. They felt we were a nuisance..😢. Sometimes they drove around for hours and hours and we couldn’t even go to the bathroom or get a drink.
Well, when I was a kid my mom used to leave me in the car to grocery, because I was a heavy sleeper. Sometimes she tried to wake me up and I started screaming, crying and throw my body on the floor. So... yeah, she knew how danger was that, but I was really an annoying child.
When I was a kid we sat in the front bucket for 3 people. No way parent would forget about us. Now with huge SUV, dark interiors and dark tint the kid is an afterthought in the back. 3rd row is even further.
He pled not guilty? And the mom says he’s a good father? I’m sorry but I don’t think they actually cared about that little girl. How do you plea not guilty knowing your actions killed your child? How do you still call him a good father knowing he has done this multiple times with this time resulting in the death of your child?
Allow him to come home so he can put the other two children in danger? I don’t understand how she can even stand the sight of him. CPS needs to investigate her because she admitted to knowing he does this often.
The victim’s mother has an error in her head. Amazing fathers don’t leave their children to die in a hot vehicle while he’s distracted with video programs. He’s going to prison,lady! Get over it.
I was a stay at home dad, with my daughter until kindergarten, and live in Phoenix. Real stay at home dads, don’t do things like video games, until mom’s home. They definitely don’t leave their kids in the car, living in the desert. What a POS!!!
Exactly. Same here. Our daughter was not out of sight of one or the other of us for five minutes, from birth, except when we were sleeping, and until she was in kindergarten.
Right? Especially since they were home! Just put her in the bed! We never left our kids in the car alone when they were napping. Just pick them up and put them in their bed or stroller when we were out. It’s crazy and sad this tragedy happened.
I just got done reading the article. Apparently, this guy often left ALL 3 of his daughters in the car. It's a miracle how the older 2 children survived infancy.
I’m surprised she can even stand to be around him. She found her deceased daughter after a long day at work while her man child husband was playing video games.
He didnt let his child sleep in the car for HER benefit, he saw a chance to have some alone time to himself. It was for his benefit. Probably thought of moving her inside, but what if she ended up wide awake? There goes his alone time. I usually try not to judge but I think this one takes the cake. This one stands out sorely.
You’re exactly right. He didn’t want to deal with her and wanted some alone time. We all need time for ourselves, I get it. But not in this manner. If he was as good of a dad as the wife claims, then he should’ve known how to carefully get her out the car seat in and her bed without disturbing her too much.
This is completely intentional murder. 109 degrees and he left her there for HOURS knowing the car would shut off after half an hour....this was on purpose. Why tf would you want him released?
He should stay in prison. How could he be an amazing father if he leaves his kid in the car? He knew after 30 mins the car would shut off but he was too busy gaming? That’s not fair for that poor girl
That’s what I’m saying. “Amazing father” yet the mother has to repeatedly tell him to stop leaving the kids in the car because he does it so often, and then he STILL does it! If he’s willing to leave his kids in hot cars so he can play video games unbothered, he’d probably be willing to slip them sleeping pills or something so he can game unbothered. I get upset about children being left in hot cars even accidentally, but the fact that he left her on purpose makes it so much worse. This is a cautionary tale for women about choosing to procreate with manchildren.
He just didn't feel like dealing with her. He wanted to play his video games and not have to deal with his kid. Well, now he'll never have to deal with her again :(
You can’t possibly know what his intentions were. You’re just being dramatic for the sake of likes. What he did was stupid and he shouldn’t have been playing video games, that’s true. But he said he left her in the car with the air running because he didn’t want to wake her up. Only he knows what was in his mind so stop playing like you’re a mind reader
I wouldn't even leave my dog in a car let alone a small child especially in the AZ heat (which I can tell you I have experienced first hand living there). He is a sorry excuse of a "father". The mom should be furious with him and not ask the judge to free him. What is she thinking?????
@@Naturefan354 it's just that in the little bit that they showed us of the text messages between them it seemed she should be more mad. Just my opinion.
Detectives spoke with Scholtes' two other children, aged 9 and 5, and they said Scholtes “had left all three children alone in vehicle regularly.” Truly sickening.
They had me that first half genuinely felt bad for the guy. Only to find out the car has a safety feature that allowed it to shut off(that he knew about mind you) and yet he still elected to leave his child IN A VEHICLE,DURING THE SUMMER, IN ARIZONA?! Nah leave him where he’s at
@@Indiscreetmess So with some late model vehicles if the key is not detected in the vehicle for an extended amount of time it will turn the car off ending functions like AC and overall vehicle operation.
This guy's wife is a doctor and yet he leaves her in a hot car 109 degrees whether he was lazy and wanted just to be able to play video games is not an excuse I 100% believe the mom and him were in on killing their own child
Kinda disgusting that you’d not only stay with a person whose gross negligence resulted in the death of your baby but also try and get him out of jail gtfoh
Well, realistically he's probably watching someone else's kids. His wife probably has a Chad on the side, and this guy just exists to take care of her kids while she works at her career.
He should have gotten his daughter out first. It was 109 degrees outside. His wife thinks that automatically asking her husband to get released. The judge is going to just release him?
Playing a video game. He’s an adult. Grow up people. Wife is in denial. Total tragedy for all. Put him I’m prison for 25 years, he has the nerve to plead not guilty 🤯
He wanted to play a video game instead of dealing with the duty of parenting a cranky child that was awaken from a nap. He was home and didn't have any responsibilities like work.
@@dbuc4671 she's literally choosing to stay with and pleading for the man who willfully killed her two year old baby, with his apathy and unimaginable negligence, it says alot about her merit
She's in denial? She's in pain? Her husband, who's left the kids in the car before and had to be told to not do that, left one of the sleeping kids in the car for 3 hours (knowing the car automatically shuts off after 30 minutes), because he was distracted playing video games and eating, IS A GOOD DAD??? She doesn't want to have to pay for outside care for the surviving two kids when she goes back to work? Maybe this will finally teach him and he'll not kill the surviving two kids?? I wouldn't want her to be in charge of any of my healthcare needs, if after everything her husband did, she can say with a straight face that he's a good father. Her judgement is skewed.
He left his child in a hot car and played video games instead. 😮 I'm not a parent, but I can't imagine ever forgetting a child in a car with the AC on, knowing that it would be shut off automatically. It's shocking to think he would just casually store away food and play video games.
SHE needs to be charged for even suggesting he be released! How else will he have consequences? She probably thinks taking away his video games for a week is punishment! SMH She doesn't deserve to have her remaining kids if she thinks he should get out! It shows how little she'd protect them!
I have a lot of compassion for parents who forget their infants/toddlers in the back seat--the research on memory is very clear, forgetting a baby has nothing to do with how much the parent loves the baby and everything to do with things like how the brain handles things like habits, routines and stimuli. Gut this was not a forgotten toddler, this father made the deliberate decision to leave his daughter in that car. That wasn't a mistake, that wasn't a brain wiring glitch, that was a deliberate choice to risk her life for selfish reasons.
Y should he be freed he left his child in a HOT CAR so he could play VIDEO GAMES and put away his food no he shouldn’t be freed from jail and for him to do this DOES NOT MAKE HIM A GREAT FATHER Either it makes him a horrible father in my opinion
no. she was given the chance to speak, and the case is about her husband. she has every right to say what is going through her mind. she would only be prosecuted if she was causing trouble during the trial.
@@dbuc4671 i know but to want your murderer of a husband out of jail for the child HE killed is wild . and like they said in the video this isn’t his first time leaving their child alone in a hot car.
Not really it's no different than any of the other times this has happened to people it's the most mundane things. People get distracted and then that's it too late. Could be going in to the bathroom, going in to get a drink and then something else and just like that they forget. It has literally nothing to do with what they got distracted doing being a good or bad excuse.
I've heard a number of cases of parents becoming addicted to gaming to the point that they left their child to starve. I gave up gaming many years ago myself, because I wasn't concentrating on the things I needed to. Parents maybe shouldn't game unless there is someone else watching their child.
"He's an amazing father."? Really? You can seriously say that with a straight face? If that is "a great father" then I really want to know what you consider a BAD father to be. He killed your child lady! To think you hold a medical license is terrifying!
Don’t let him out lock him up for life how stupid can you be your children depend on you!!!! Need you for protection and care not what is convenient for you shame on his parents for making him think it’s ok to leave her in there wth did you think would happen
Once is a mistake, everything after that is just negligence. I really wish judges would stop being so lenient with these parents. Give them proper punishments and publicise the cases every day (at least during summer in states that don't have high temperatures all year long, and every day in those that do) so the rest of them finally learn. Good luck to the lawyer wife is going to hire for him, it won't be easy to defend someone who chose videogames over their child.
They had a severely messed up family dynamic from the start. Why is the mother working when she should be at home caring for the children? Why is the father chilling at home when he should be working and providing for the family? They got it 100% backwards.
He has made multiple attempts to leave the little girl in the car, the mother knew it and still allowed the “father” to alone with child! Sounds suspicious for both! The mother doesn’t even sound distraught about losing her child! This was 100 percent preventable!
Even if the car did stay on with the ac, he is still leaving a child alone with a car with the key in. The priority of immediate gratification over his children safety got her killed.
@@tiredschizo Um.. she still wants her family to be together? She said, he is an amazing father, he did everything perfectly. and she said this huge error does not represent him. He probably is an amazing father according to her, and she wants him to atleast continue their family
Playing video games and dealing with food?!? If my childs father killed my baby because of this bizarre priority order, i can tell you there'd be another funeral, and I'd be willing to live behind bars.
The mother sounds like she doesn't care at all...like she just wants the husband freed, so they can get on with their lives. Just like he "didn't want to wake her" just bcoz he probably didn't want to take the time after, to get her to go back to sleep! Just wanted to play video games 🙄
I truly don't understand how the Mom would want him back home after all of this. As a single Mom I can't rationalize this... Don't have kids if you don't wanna watch them..
There’s accidents and there’s bad decisions and this falls in the bed decisions category. It is absolutely appropriate to hold him accountable for the decision he made that took the life of his beautiful little girl. She suffered greatly before her death. I hope the judge takes that into consideration.
@@ReginaMills-c4di can understand a few minutes being exhausted and then you panic and run to the car. Most fatal cases have small children being in there for hours though. There is NO excuse for leaving a child, pet, elderly person in a car for hours. Nobody left their phone in their car for hours !
@@GorgieClarissa TRUE 👍 BUT, she is responsible, for her own children too. She knew because he did this before. At least she acts like she did, based on those text messages...which may/may not be sincere, but damage control.
@@BlenduuYou say this, yet you complain when some people say that men aren't responsible enough to take care of their own children. He is the biological father, and it is his fault alone.
So, the wife told him many times not to leave the kids in the car, he knew the car would turn off in 30 mins and he decided to play video games.....I have no sympathy for him
Wait a minute, time out...🤨🙄...a father left his daughter in a hot car (not his first time) and went to go play video games??!! Oh no. Oh HELL no. 😠😠 Go directly to prison. He knew the risks. Her mom is crazy if she thinks her asking the presiding judge to release him is gonna happen.
He got home per their own security cameras at 1253 and wife got home at 408 p.m. and nowhere in between did cameras show him going to even check on her. Per court documents it was nt the first time. COURT DCUMENTS? So per that news report he was already caught at least once for their to be record of it. Report noted father parked car in the sun in the driveway and went inside where the other 2 children were. So do we assume since they were awake they were with him and exited vehicle or left them home alone to run errand? If my spouse had a court record for this he would be told get a job and i would make other child care arrangements for my children. Plus video system would meet a hammer.
The wife is a doctor and has repeatedly warned her husband to stop leaving the kids in the car, yet he continues? And she's a director at UofA Banner? If she can't ensure the safety of her own children, it's concerning to think about her responsibility for others. That's truly alarming.
He is not an amazing father, he is a criminal who victimized one of the children who he had the job to protect in life. Keep him locked up, send him to prison.
Leaving your child in the car alone whether the engine was still running or not is down right irresponsible and stupid. And his excuse is that “he got destructed by playing video games and putting food away”? Smh 🤦 This is very shameful and pathetic. Some people just aren’t meant to be parents.
The title should be "Man leaves child in hot car to play video games"
EXACTLY
😩😩🤦♀️
Yup
😥😥😥
The fact that he pled NOT GUILTY!! WTF!!! Even in his text messages to the wife he wrote I killed our baby!
Zero excuse here. He didn't want to disrupt his daughter's nap. He didn't want HER to disrupt his VIDEO GAME. His priorities were very clear here.

@@Naturefan354 it's just that in the little bit that they showed us of the text messages between them it seemed she should be more mad. Just my opinion.
@@nightsky3981 AGREE
@@Naturefan354he can be allowed to go to the funeral (supervised by the police) and then driven back to jail.
Detectives spoke with Scholtes' two other children, aged 9 and 5, and they said Scholtes “had left all three children alone in vehicle regularly.”
Truly sickening.
They had me that first half genuinely felt bad for the guy. Only to find out the car has a safety feature that allowed it to shut off(that he knew about mind you) and yet he still elected to leave his child IN A VEHICLE,DURING THE SUMMER, IN ARIZONA?! Nah leave him where he’s at
Right!!!! I lived in AZ back in 1990 and it's practically like being inside an oven. The heat is unbearable!
@@rivermike18 and he'd been told before not to do it
There is never a circumstance where you leave a child in a car alone, leaving an engine running in the driveway is still child abandonment
Can you explain about the safety feature?
@@Indiscreetmess So with some late model vehicles if the key is not detected in the vehicle for an extended amount of time it will turn the car off ending functions like AC and overall vehicle operation.
This guy's wife is a doctor and yet he leaves her in a hot car 109 degrees whether he was lazy and wanted just to be able to play video games is not an excuse I 100% believe the mom and him were in on killing their own child
She sure seemed calm and collected when addressing the judge and wanting her man free. How would you even be able to speak? Weird asf.
Kinda disgusting that you’d not only stay with a person whose gross negligence resulted in the death of your baby but also try and get him out of jail gtfoh

Life in prison without the possibility of parole:
She called him an amazing father... wtf?
The wife weird too
Worst father of the year
@@TodayismyBirthday923 Wife very strange he don't deserve to be there
Well, realistically he's probably watching someone else's kids. His wife probably has a Chad on the side, and this guy just exists to take care of her kids while she works at her career.
@@Procopius464Lmfao so specific, did it happen to you personally? Jesus😂
"he's an amazing father" well ... the bar just keeps getting lower and lower.
He should have gotten his daughter out first. It was 109 degrees outside. His wife thinks that automatically asking her husband to get released. The judge is going to just release him?
He is not that person. But he is. That is their house. AC in Arizona 109 degrees won't work. He knew the car would shut off in 30 minutes. Cmon.
The wife is more concerned with getting her man back home than what he did to their daughter🙄
@@blackcherry6877 I read she did not want to traumatize their other 2 daughters with the father not being with them at the funeral.
@@denniskumabe734 What responsible parent would risk it for even 5minutes??
@@blackcherry6877 THIS ^
Playing a video game. He’s an adult. Grow up people. Wife is in denial. Total tragedy for all. Put him I’m prison for 25 years, he has the nerve to plead not guilty 🤯
I also think he's plead not guilty because he wants the charges to go down to manslaughter, but I dont think he's got very good odds here lol.
The pain that girl experienced. Crying out and no one came to get her. Shameful.
People don't forget their cellphones yet they forgot their kids in the car!!!!!
I don’t get it. He was home but left the kid in the car. The kid is the 1st thing you grab when you leave the car. Something doesn’t add up.
He wanted to play a video game instead of dealing with the duty of parenting a cranky child that was awaken from a nap. He was home and didn't have any responsibilities like work.
@@merec3627Pathetic smh!
@@merec3627his only responsibility was keeping child safe MAJOR FAIL
He did it on purpose. He didn't forget her. It says in the video she was asleep and he didn't want to wake her up so he chose to leave her in the car.
@@justinenicole3926but you don’t leave the kid take the kid to her room and than you can play games yeah she might wake up but still it something
Iam a grown a** man and when I seen this yesterday, I cried like a baby for 3 hours. Last time I teared up was when my twins were born 10 years ago.
Aside from leaving her in the car, the car could be stolen so please don't leave your child in the car for any reason
The child could have been kidnapped along with the car being stolen.
The audacity of this woman to tell a judge (like she is ordering the judge) to let him go. What about "No."
I know right
She’s a doctor. Imagine trusting that judgement
@@IamKelt ??? She's a doctor meaning she _does_ have some merit lol
For the funeral.
@@dbuc4671 she's literally choosing to stay with and pleading for the man who willfully killed her two year old baby, with his apathy and unimaginable negligence, it says alot about her merit
She's in denial?
She's in pain?
Her husband, who's left the kids in the car before and had to be told to not do that, left one of the sleeping kids in the car for 3 hours (knowing the car automatically shuts off after 30 minutes), because he was distracted playing video games and eating, IS A GOOD DAD???
She doesn't want to have to pay for outside care for the surviving two kids when she goes back to work? Maybe this will finally teach him and he'll not kill the surviving two kids??
I wouldn't want her to be in charge of any of my healthcare needs, if after everything her husband did, she can say with a straight face that he's a good father. Her judgement is skewed.
He left his child in a hot car and played video games instead. 😮 I'm not a parent, but I can't imagine ever forgetting a child in a car with the AC on, knowing that it would be shut off automatically. It's shocking to think he would just casually store away food and play video games.
SHE needs to be charged for even suggesting he be released! How else will he have consequences? She probably thinks taking away his video games for a week is punishment! SMH
She doesn't deserve to have her remaining kids if she thinks he should get out! It shows how little she'd protect them!
Some people just shouldn’t procreate
I have a lot of compassion for parents who forget their infants/toddlers in the back seat--the research on memory is very clear, forgetting a baby has nothing to do with how much the parent loves the baby and everything to do with things like how the brain handles things like habits, routines and stimuli. Gut this was not a forgotten toddler, this father made the deliberate decision to leave his daughter in that car. That wasn't a mistake, that wasn't a brain wiring glitch, that was a deliberate choice to risk her life for selfish reasons.
Y should he be freed he left his child in a HOT CAR so he could play VIDEO GAMES and put away his food no he shouldn’t be freed from jail and for him to do this DOES NOT MAKE HIM A GREAT FATHER Either it makes him a horrible father in my opinion
A stay at home dad that would rather play video games than protect his kid. What a loser
she should be in jail for ever requesting he gets out .. shes showing she doesn’t understand the severity of what he did
no. she was given the chance to speak, and the case is about her husband. she has every right to say what is going through her mind. she would only be prosecuted if she was causing trouble during the trial.
She was only asking so he could attend the funeral
@@dbuc4671 i know but to want your murderer of a husband out of jail for the child HE killed is wild . and like they said in the video this isn’t his first time leaving their child alone in a hot car.
Oh, hell to the no, he needs to not be let out forever!
Video Games And Storing Food Over Child. Horrible Excuse.
Not really it's no different than any of the other times this has happened to people it's the most mundane things. People get distracted and then that's it too late. Could be going in to the bathroom, going in to get a drink and then something else and just like that they forget. It has literally nothing to do with what they got distracted doing being a good or bad excuse.
I've heard a number of cases of parents becoming addicted to gaming to the point that they left their child to starve. I gave up gaming many years ago myself, because I wasn't concentrating on the things I needed to. Parents maybe shouldn't game unless there is someone else watching their child.
It's not an excuse, it's a reason. Excuses try to not make you look like a moron.
@@FrancisXLord"When I became a man, I put away childish things."
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepI’m tired if that excuse! Nothing should distract you from the fact that you have kids!
"He's an amazing father."? Really? You can seriously say that with a straight face? If that is "a great father" then I really want to know what you consider a BAD father to be.
He killed your child lady! To think you hold a medical license is terrifying!
We keep seeing kids die in cars and yet parents keep leaving them inside?? I don’t understand
I thought there was a hot car law. I guess I was wrong...
This happens every year. People never learn. This should never happen😢
Don’t let him out lock him up for life how stupid can you be your children depend on you!!!! Need you for protection and care not what is convenient for you shame on his parents for making him think it’s ok to leave her in there wth did you think would happen
I have never understood how anyone can "forget" their child?? It's really beyond me!
The fact that the mother is calling her husband’s carelessness a “mistake” is very telling. While playing video games?? Really??
@@millennialaviation she knows he did it on purpose. She’s the one who was constantly telling him to stop leaving the kids in the car.
Once is a mistake, everything after that is just negligence.
I really wish judges would stop being so lenient with these parents. Give them proper punishments and publicise the cases every day (at least during summer in states that don't have high temperatures all year long, and every day in those that do) so the rest of them finally learn.
Good luck to the lawyer wife is going to hire for him, it won't be easy to defend someone who chose videogames over their child.
If you have a baby under your responsibility, the last thing you can think of is to be playing video games. That's pathetic
They had a severely messed up family dynamic from the start. Why is the mother working when she should be at home caring for the children? Why is the father chilling at home when he should be working and providing for the family? They got it 100% backwards.
She's making the big bucks so they can keep the illusion of the American Dream. They probably had an arraignment from the start.
I can't even believe she's defending him 🤯
She's Standin by her man!!
@@oldbuzzard8536She stooped so low. she need to grow a back bone😊
The wife also asked her husband multiple times to STOP LEAVING THEIR CHILDREN IN A HOT CAR. He is not an amazing father.
He has made multiple attempts to leave the little girl in the car, the mother knew it and still allowed the “father” to alone with child! Sounds suspicious for both! The mother doesn’t even sound distraught about losing her child! This was 100 percent preventable!
@@CourageUnderFire87 someone else pointed out that the neighbor lady seems more distraught than the parents. Insanity.
Even if the car did stay on with the ac, he is still leaving a child alone with a car with the key in. The priority of immediate gratification over his children safety got her killed.
The mom sounds so...emotionless? Like "can you let my husband go 😐" she doesn't care about their dead baby it feels like
No. She has two other kids with him
@@l19719 okay? What does that gotta do with anything?
Damn
@@tiredschizo Um.. she still wants her family to be together? She said, he is an amazing father, he did everything perfectly. and she said this huge error does not represent him. He probably is an amazing father according to her, and she wants him to atleast continue their family
@@dillon17well good thing it’s not up to her. He belongs in prison. She needs to find someone else. It’s step daddy time
Not guilty of 2nd degree murder but guilty of 109 degree murder😤
Completely avoidable! He knew the car would shut off in 30 minutes and did not check on his little girl for over 3 hours is mind boggling.
Playing video games and dealing with food?!?
If my childs father killed my baby because of this bizarre priority order, i can tell you there'd be another funeral, and I'd be willing to live behind bars.
The mother sounds like she doesn't care at all...like she just wants the husband freed, so they can get on with their lives.
Just like he "didn't want to wake her" just bcoz he probably didn't want to take the time after, to get her to go back to sleep! Just wanted to play video games 🙄
I truly don't understand how the Mom would want him back home after all of this.
As a single Mom I can't rationalize this...
Don't have kids if you don't wanna watch them..
Defending him? Saying it was a mistake. Is she a Mother?
And a wife
@@ΜαριλέναΜαραθιώτη that man is her 4th child.
There’s accidents and there’s bad decisions and this falls in the bed decisions category. It is absolutely appropriate to hold him accountable for the decision he made that took the life of his beautiful little girl. She suffered greatly before her death. I hope the judge takes that into consideration.
Wait, so he knowingly left her in the car? Why??
He didnt want her to wake up, so he could play his video games

@@ReginaMills-c4di can understand a few minutes being exhausted and then you panic and run to the car. Most fatal cases have small children being in there for hours though.

Parental inattention results in unimaginable tragedy.
He texts his wife instead of calling her about the death of their child. What is wrong with people!!
So, not only did the Mom suffer, but now the sibling must grieve as well. Crazy.
The mom is suffering, but at the same time, she wants to free him
@@angelmushahfdisagree. She told the judge to let him go. He’s back with them to “grieve”

@@GorgieClarissa TRUE 👍 BUT, she is responsible, for her own children too. She knew because he did this before. At least she acts like she did, based on those text messages...which may/may not be sincere, but damage control.
@@BlenduuYou say this, yet you complain when some people say that men aren't responsible enough to take care of their own children. He is the biological father, and it is his fault alone.
"Babe, I'm sorry she's gone, but I got to get back to my video games - I'm winning!!!"
He's clearly not an amazing father!
So, the wife told him many times not to leave the kids in the car, he knew the car would turn off in 30 mins and he decided to play video games.....I have no sympathy for him
Many people do this on accident but this guy did it on purpose just to game. And she still said he is an amazing father?!?!
Never let this guy out of prison
Wait a minute, time out...🤨🙄...a father left his daughter in a hot car (not his first time) and went to go play video games??!! Oh no. Oh HELL no. 😠😠 Go directly to prison. He knew the risks. Her mom is crazy if she thinks her asking the presiding judge to release him is gonna happen.
I refuse to believe this could have been an accident…
He got home per their own security cameras at 1253 and wife got home at 408 p.m. and nowhere in between did cameras show him going to even check on her. Per court documents it was nt the first time. COURT DCUMENTS? So per that news report he was already caught at least once for their to be record of it. Report noted father parked car in the sun in the driveway and went inside where the other 2 children were. So do we assume since they were awake they were with him and exited vehicle or left them home alone to run errand? If my spouse had a court record for this he would be told get a job and i would make other child care arrangements for my children. Plus video system would meet a hammer.
The wife is a doctor and has repeatedly warned her husband to stop leaving the kids in the car, yet he continues? And she's a director at UofA Banner? If she can't ensure the safety of her own children, it's concerning to think about her responsibility for others. That's truly alarming.
When people ask me why I don’t want kids or pets and complain that I “haven’t had kids yet”, I show them this story. 💀
He is not an amazing father, he is a criminal who victimized one of the children who he had the job to protect in life. Keep him locked up, send him to prison.
Leaving your child in the car alone whether the engine was still running or not is down right irresponsible and stupid. And his excuse is that “he got destructed by playing video games and putting food away”? Smh 🤦
This is very shameful and pathetic.
Some people just aren’t meant to be parents.
