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.

The dad went into the house, and when he returned to the car between 30 and 60 minutes later, the car was off, Brunenkant said.

Any number of things can go wrong in any number of situations, but you can’t effectively live life accounting for all of them to possibly happen all the time.

Not saying it was the best decision but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think the car would keep the AC on.

It’s definitely a tragedy. The article is too light on information to convict was all I was saying.

They knowingly left their 2 year old alone for 30-60 minutes. That's already illegal.

A lot of things are illegal that aren’t murder.

Wow, so it would be illegal for parents to sleep? Gtfo

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

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.
