Teen dad charged with murder after leaving 1-year-old son in 130-degree hot car: 'Deliberate act'
Landon Parrot, 19.
Ohio father charged with murder after leaving his one-year-old son in a 130-degree hot car.
Landon Parrot, 19, has been charged with murder, two counts of endangering children and involuntary manslaughter and is currently held at Tuscarawas County Jail, New Philadelphia Police Chief Michael Goodwin said in a statement on Facebook on Friday.
"The child passed away after being left in the car unattended for approximately 5 hours, with an outside temperature of 87 degrees," the chief wrote. "During the interview it appears that this was not a matter of forgetting the child but was a deliberate act so as the child would not be a disturbance while in the house."
"We estimate that would’ve made the interior of the car about 130 degrees and this child was in there strapped into a car seat with no fluids, no air conditioning, nothing," New Philadelphia Police Det. Capt. Ty Norris told the outlet. "Heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking to see this unfold before your eyes."
