| Dad with his wife and children, including baby Fern, right who was forgotten in the hot car) defended himself after leaving his baby daughter in a hot car, saying that he and his wife are ‘heartbroken’. |
Remember the Father who forgot his baby strapped in the car for hours under the hot son and tried to revive by putting her in the fridge?
The father who was charged with manslaughter after leaving his baby daughter in a hot car and then putting her in a refrigerator instead of calling the cops has defended himself, saying that he and his wife are ‘heartbroken’.
Michael Thedford, 33, an unemployed high school teacher, was arrested in Collin County, outside of Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday.
After returning home from dropping his kids off at school, Thedford went inside the family’s home and fell asleep.
Some four hours later, he found his baby daughter in a desperate condition in the back of his vehicle.
He took her out, placed her in a refrigerator ‘for an undetermined amount of time,’ and called 911, the affidavit said.
He later placed the infant on the kitchen floor and attempted CPR on the baby before emergency responders arrived, it said.
Thedford said his daughter was stiff and ‘hot as a brick’ when he found her in the vehicle, the affidavit said.
He says that his family is heartbroken over the death of their beautiful daughter…
The poor baby may have died of heat stroke. #sigh.
