"Toddler's Dad Researched Hot-car Deaths of Children Online, Officer Said in Warrant
(CNN) -- The suspect in a Georgia toddler's death told police he used the Internet to research child deaths inside vehicles, a search warrant said.
The father, Justin Ross Harris, 33, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and second-degree child cruelty in the death of his 22-month-old son, Cooper Harris. The boy died after he was left seven hours in a sweltering SUV on June 18.
'During an interview with Justin, he stated that he recently researched, through the internet, child deaths inside vehicles and what temperature it needs to be for that to occur,' according to a sworn statement in the warrant from a police officer. 'Justin stated that he was fearful that this could happen.'...
On the day Cooper died, Harris stopped for breakfast at a fast-food restaurant and afterward strapped his son into a rear-facing child restraint seat on his SUV's back seat, police said.
He drove to his workplace, a Home Depot corporate office, about a half-mile away. He works as a Web designer there.
Usually, he would take his son to an on-site day care. But that day, police said, Harris left him in the car seat.
During his lunch break, he returned to his car, opening the driver's side door to put something inside, police said.
After work, around 4:16 p.m., the 33-year-old father got in his car and drove away. A few miles away, he stopped the car at a shopping center and called for help."
We all get a little absent-minded from time to time, right?
Yeah, sure.
This case doesn't sound like "forgetting." But it frequently is the excuse for this kind of event. Personally, I drove my daughter all kinds of places when she was little...often, unfortunately, under a considerable amount of stress. I NEVER forgot she was in the car with me. How in the Hell do you "forget" your child is in a vehicle with you? I'll never understand it. I've forgotten a lot of things in my life, but my daughter wasn't one of them.
This guy, however, if he really is innocent, has to be the saddest excuse for a moron who ever walked the earth. You're so concerned about abandoning your kid in a hot car that you research it on the 'net, and then you accidentally actually do it anyway? And btw, if you're really so damned worried that you'll leave your kid in a hot car, how about researching WAYS TO NOT DO THAT, INSTEAD OF HOW TO? Speechless...
