Baby Dies In Hot Car - The father of the 15-month-old baby boy, who unfortunately passed away after being left inside a hot car for several hours, was arraigned Wednesday in Danbury Superior Court.
According updates on the baby dies in hot car news story, the father of the deceased baby boy named Benjamin was arraigned on a misdemeanor negligent homicide charge.
The 36-year-old father identified as Kyle Seitz was ordered to surrender his passport, as well as to stay in the state and not have unsupervised contact with his two other kids, reports CBS 12.
The father in the baby dies in hot car story did not actually enter a plea during his arraignment, but he was released on condition that he will be returning in court on Nov. 21.
Amid the arraignment of Ridgefield, Conn., software programmer, his lawyer announced that his wife and kids have decided to move out of the state.
The baby dies in hot car story actually took place on July 7, when Kyle was doing his typical working routine.
Mr. Seitz reportedly dressed up his baby boy that day while his wife prepared their daughters for Bible camp.
He was supposed to drop off the baby into a day care center before heading to his workplace, according to New York Times.
However, Kyle failed to bring Benjamin to the day care center and left the baby in the hot car for over eight hours.
Police said at the time that temperatures on that day hit the upper 80s.
Mr. Seitz only noticed that something was wrong when he drove to the day care center to pick Benjamin up, only to realize that he left the baby strapped into his special rear-facing car seat.
When he managed to compose himself, he told authorities that he "felt shock and terror" when he found out what happened to his son at the back seat, especially when he saw the baby "motionless."
Though Benjamin was rushed to the Danbury Hospital, he was formally pronounced dead of hyperthermia due to environmental exposure, noted Daily Mail.
If Mr. Seitz is convicted of the baby dies in hot car misdemeanor, he could serve up to one year in prison.
This is not the first baby dies in hot car tragedy. In fact, this incident is reportedly becoming a regular occurrence. In the United States alone, nearly three dozens of babies die in hot cars annually.
