The parent should be charged with manslaughter. How does someone forget about their child for “several hours”!?!
Why do we need photos of tragedies
How did the pedestrian who called Magan Dovid know that the child was in the car for a “number of hours” ? Why didn’t he call immediately? We all have to remain vigilant. If you see a child in a car, call the police right away.
