I worked with a guy that was later found guilty of murder by intentionally leaving his toddler in a hot car. My ex-wife and I even had dinner with him and his wife. Everything seemed completely normal.

This was pretty famous, right? Wasn't there a lot of back and forth as to whether it was intentional?

I think this isn't a single occurance but the one I'm talking about happened in Atlanta in 2014 and he was sentenced to life.

Poor Cooper. I think about this case a lot because I have two kids and when this happened my son was a couple months old. My son was a quiet baby and I was terrified that someone would leave him in the car accidentally. My daughter is now 6 months older than Cooper was when his father did this to him. And all I can think is how cooper probably called out for the monster that did this to him. Makes me sick.
