The Georgia Dad Who Loeft His Son In The Car *graphic*

What an awful way to die. I wish sometimes our justice system allowed eye for an eye.

That makes me absolutely sick to think about. That poor precious baby.

I dont know that he was unstable. Seems the mother may have been in on it. She too was researching death by hot car before the child's death

This sounds really damning for him, but I have to say - it's a little scary to me too that he's being tried and hung in the public opinion based on his internet searches. I've searched those exact things in the past when the topic came up on NSBR. It's gruesome, but there were interesting and heartbreaking stories out there, which led me to google more, to read other things, etc.

I've searched some really crazy things online, and god forbid that should be the piece of evidence should a tragedy happened that put me away.

Now, the circumstances of his do sound a little different - I can guarantee you that I was hyper vigilant after reading the stories for at least a few months. But how far back do our google searches indict us? What if I searched something 2 years ago? What if I was reading about serial killers several times over the last few years? The internet is a rabbit hole, you go down one path and suddenly find yourself enthralled and asking google questions you never knew you wanted to know the answers to.

While I absolutely agree it appears bad for him, I just don't want to jump to conclusions because I know I have googled some whacked out shit and doing so doesn't make me immune to related tragedies happening in my life. For example, someone recently referenced a young widows message board. I googled it and started reading, I found it really interesting to understand what life is like for a young widow. I think it led me to googling some other things like "average life insurance" and "how much money does a young widow need." If an awful accident happened to DH, I hope those searches and web traffic wouldn't be used against me, even just among the public.

I've been wanting to ask if anyone knows why a 22 month old was in a rear facing car seat? He's an average size toddler. I guess I would think a toddler would be facing forward, but it's been a long time since I had kids in car seats.

It was reported by one of the reporters that attended the funeral that the mother made a statement that she would not want to bring her son back into this selfish world.    If that's how you feel about this world, why bring a child into it in the first place?  I don't understand some people. 

I heard on some news channel the mother is standing by him and said what a great father he was.  He was also able to "talk" from his jail cell to those at the funeral and thanked them for their support.  

I can't comprehend how someone could deliberately kill their child this way. I just can't. Horrible, horrible story.

So so sad! That poor innocent little boy. I can't even begin to imagine how a parent could hurt/kill their own children.

There will be all kinds of rumors and then there will be truths. Who knows where this information falls. I did hear the police say that there were different parking areas, some covered, some not. That was on the news when they were interviewing an officer right after it happened. They did not say, at that time, where he had parked at.  I feel like there has to be more that the police know than they are releasing to the public for them to arrest the dad like they did and then not even let him attend the funeral. I still would like to know why they were mentioning antifreeze and waiting for toxicology reports on the news a few days ago. I did not hear the whole report, but it is puzzling that they would mention that one thing. Then again, maybe not. Sometimes they just speculate. We probably won't know all of the facts that they based the arrest on, until it goes to court. My heart breaks for that precious little boy that will never get the chance to grow up. 

What a heartbreaking story,that poor poor child.

I cannot comprehend how anyone could FORGET that they had a child in the car with them. The child was 22 months,they chatter in their own little way, they move...kick their legs,move their arms and such like, even if they are strapped in a seat.How could anyone forget that they are there? And then to forget about him for another seven hours.......I really cannot fathom out how ANYONE can do that,I really can't!

Leaving aside any computer evidence that they have found, I could never consider that this could ever have been an accident.
