People ain’t isht… Man Leaves Baby In Hot Car Outside Barbershop An Iowa man is making national headlines after he told police he “forgot” his child was in the backseat of his sweltering hot car and went inside a barbershop for “an extended period of time.” The Desmoines Register reports: A Des Moines man told police that he had fallen asleep in a sweltering car while his 6-month-old son was dying from heat exposure in the back seat, according to a police report. But detectives aren’t buying his story. Lance Jordan Williams Sr., 35, is in jail on a child-endangerment charge after authorities determined that the baby had been left in the car Saturday afternoon while the outside temperature approached 90 degrees. Based on interviews with Williams and witnesses, police said they believe Williams parked his 1998 Dodge Caravan outside Barbershop Fresh, 501 Euclid Ave., and went inside the barbershop for an “extended period of time” before the child was found unresponsive. Williams initially told police a different story, according to the police report. He said he parked behind the business with his son in the back seat and started to play a game on his phone, while the car was turned off. The investigation has identified inconsistencies in his statements,” Sgt. Paul Parizek, a spokesman for the Des Moines Police Department, said Monday. “Detectives believe that he was not sleeping in the car at the time the child died.” Other people were in the barbershop while Williams was there, but police believe nobody knew that the child was outside. Medical personnel told police that the child appeared dead when they arrived, according to the report. The child likely died from overheating, but the Polk County Medical Examiner has not released autopsy results and an official cause of death. So sad, we hear about these “hot car deaths ” all the time. Parents, what do YOU think about this dad’s story??? Do YOU think he intentionally killed his child???
