That's for sure. 313's story against the employer is sinking fast!
I am assuming the child is not adopted. I wonder where the birth mother is. Did she pass away in child birth?
If she was at work herself, they can certainly afford it. If he made $90k for 9 months pay, he is looking at a $120k annual salary. If she makes $30-120k, their household income is $150-240k/yr.
That's certainly enough to cover the cost of a car engine or daycare. The guy could have asked his boss to bring the baby into the back office, until he could drop the baby off during break or lunch.
Well, he left the AC on and checked on the child periodically, much UNLIKE the other two fathers in the news (Georgia and Connecticut) who "forgot" to drop their kids off at daycare, leading to two deaths.
He's not heartless, he's just not too bright, but he tried to do the best he could I guess. I wouldn't put this guy in the monster category like some people.
I would like to know more about the child becoming lethargic around 2 pm. Could it be that there were no windows open a crack and carbon monoxide was filling up in the car ... even though he had the AC on?
Like this other 2 fathers, this father's actions lead to the baby's death. The 1 year-old died at the hospital. The charges were upgraded to 2nd degree murder.
According to the baby sitter, she was expecting the child that day. However, he has a habit of neglecting his child.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ - For the first time, we're hearing from the Scottsdale father charged with second degree murder after he left his infant son in a hot car, so he could go to work.
Quote:
According to police, Marques' employer said their employees are on a point system, and he wasn't close to being fired.
Also, police say the babysitter said she was expecting to watch the baby Saturday and claims Marques has a history of not tending to his son.
It still boggles my mind that ANYONE would defend these actions. I am sympathetic in the sense that I lost a job over my babysitter showing up, but that is the downside to being a parent. To have gone to work and locked the child in the car is NEGLECT and dangerous.
I don't see this as any responsibility or fault of any employer. Ridiculous.
That was the OP's claim... And any she posted this in the work and employment forum .
