Police said the girls' father was being interviewed, and according to ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB, the mother was in Atlanta at the time of the incident.
Oh what a surprise, Duh waited until Moo was out of town to off the kids. I'm guessing he really wanted to drive it home and make it look accidental by having a meltdown and rushing the broiled kids to the pool to make it look like he gave a shit. That's a nice dramatic touch and all, but parents seem slow to realize that the police are starting to catch on that these hot car deaths, in all their rampant popularity (always in the hottest months too; nobody ever leaves the kids in the car in winter or spring), aren't all that accidental. I kinda wonder: if Moo had been the one to fry the kids, would she have gotten charged? Seems like when Moos broil the kids alive in the family tank, they get off with a slap on the wrist because they've Suffered Enough
TM. Duhs don't seem to get treated so leniently. Does anyone else notice that, or is it just me?
Sorry breeders, but you're gonna have to find a new way to kill your kids now. First they ruined SIDS for ya and now they've gotten wise to roasting deaths. Yeah I know, those pesky authorities just make things harder for you bizzy mommies and daddies. I think tub drownings will become the new PNA fad once hot car deaths are fully considered to be murder. Drownings can be done any time of the year and can definitely be passed off as accidental, especially if there are no witnesses.
Also, looking at the related links, this shit actually has a name? "Forgotten Baby Syndrome?" Makes it sound like an illness. Makes it sound unintentional, which means people may not take it as seriously or for what it really is: completely premeditated murder. Uhhh, no. It's like shaken baby syndrome - makes it sound like the result of something that,
oh, just happened whoopsies instead of being caused by someone who wanted to harm that child. Calling something a "syndrome" that isn't an actual disease makes it sound less serious. It's like calling murder via any other means "ceasing to exist syndrome" or calling rape "unwilling orifice syndrome" or calling robbery "unwilling donation syndrome." Doesn't sound very important when you give it a name like that, does it?
Also, according to
this related story, we're very close to hitting the number of hot car murders we had at the end of 2015 and the summer's not even over yet (five of those 23 deaths were in Texas alone). You'd think people would have caught on by now. Every single year, shitloads upon shitloads of articles are written about how to not forget your precious cherub in the car, yet every single year, tons of parents still "accidentally" leave the kids in the car to die. "Don't leave your kid in the car in 100-degree heat" is pretty common knowledge, yet look how often it still happens. You'd think someone besides us would have thought much sooner that, hmmm, maybe these deaths
aren't all that accidental.
