A 2-year-old girl has died after her father left her in a hot car in Arizona, where residents are enduring triple-digit temperatures, according to authorities.
The father was running errands with his daughter, and when he returned home Tuesday afternoon, he allegedly knowingly left the 2-year-old in the car, Marana Police Capt. Tim Brunenkant told ABC News.
He left the car running and the air conditioning on, Brunenkant said.
They knowingly left their 2 year old alone for 30-60 minutes. That’s already illegal.
Wow, so it would be illegal for parents to sleep? Gtfo
I’m not saying that. However, it’s highly recommended that toddlers have baby monitors with them while they sleep. So even if the parents were sleeping, their child’s distress should wake them up. This child was unattended, unobserved, etc.
A lot of things are illegal that aren’t murder.
