According to the New York Post and other U.S. media, four children were reported in a car in a parking lot in Phoenix, Arizona, at around 3:30 p.m. on the 24th (local time). At that time, the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius, which was very hot.
The dispatched police forcefully opened the locked vehicle door, with four children aged two, three, four and seven sitting inside.
At that time, the temperature inside the vehicle reached about 51 degrees Celsius, and all of the children had turned red and showed symptoms of heat stroke such as excessive sweat. The children's body temperature was close to 38 degrees Celsius, and if the rescue was a little late, their lives were in danger.
According to a police investigation, the children's father, Asensio Largo, 38, entered a nearby adult goods store and stayed for about an hour at the time.
The business is known not only to sell adult products, but also to have a 'adult screening hall' and 'private booth'.
The court said "Police called names several times, but he did not respond, and even falsely stated that it was not his vehicle."Anyone who grew up in Arizona cannot be unaware that a child or dog could die in a closed vehicle. His actions are shocking and extremely irresponsible."
It was also confirmed that Largo was drunk at the time of his arrest, and that the vehicle was not equipped with the legally required 'Drunk Driving Prevention Device'.
He is currently in custody on four counts of child abuse and four counts of child threat.
Meanwhile, in the United States, cases of child deaths due to neglect in vehicles in summer are repeated.
According to the U.S. National Security Council (NSC), an average of 37 children under the age of 15 die from heatstroke in their vehicles each year, with a peak of 53 deaths in 2018 and 2019.
