Anecia Forbes: Dad who left daughter in hot car on Father's Day gets prison

SUMMARY: A Baltimore man who left his toddler daughter in a hot car on Father's Day two years ago has been sentenced to eight years in prison for her death. Prosecutors say Wilbert Carter went out drinking with a relative on June 21, 2015, to celebrate Father's Day. When he returned home, he parked his car at a friend's house and forgot about his 2 1/2 year-old daughter Leasia in her car seat. Carter didn't return to the car until 4 p.m. the next day. Temperatures reached 89 degrees that day. Carter was convicted in December of manslaughter, reckless endangerment and confining an unattended child. The Baltimore Sun reports that Carter was sentenced last week.


ANAYLSIS: This article was published on February 13th 2017 by Fox News. I am honestly so tired of hearing these devastating stories about incident babies dying in a hot car by their parent. It absolutely breaks my heart for this to happen to such a precious soul. This can be synthesized to when a father (Justin Ross Harris) was found guilty of murder of his son's hot car death.

    It disgusts me to see such terrible stories of child neglect.

    You need to take better care of your children. Almost everyone has to have that responsibility of taking care of someone and having them look up to them as a role model. I hate how people lock their pets in their car, even worse when it's their own child.

    I wrote a current event about a similar story a few weeks ago, and I think this is such an awful thing for a parent, or anyone, to do. It seems very strange to me that you could just "forget" about your child in the car.

    When reading this, I automatically thought of a synthesis to the prohibition times when they banned alcohol because it did influence people greatly which could've been a factor in this situation.

    I wrote about this story to, I think it is crazy that someone just forgot about a baby. A living thing they just completely forgot about.
