The 20-month-old twins died from hyperthermia — when body temperatures are extremely elevated — the local coroner, Naida Rutherford confirmed to TODAY on Tuesday. The findings match her initial statement made earlier this month, but had to wait on toxicology reports to make it official.
On Tuesday, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott confirmed there would be no charges filed. He said the boys' father thought he took the children to the daycare that morning where they were enrolled and then drove to work. He found the boys in their rear-facing child seats just after 5:30 p.m. after he drove to the day care center to pick them up.
Rutherford said in a press conference last week that one of the twins' parents discovered the children in the backseat and that a window was broken during the attempted rescue."The father was under some intense pressure at work that really had his mind somewhere else that day," Lott said."And in his mind, he really believed that he had dropped the two boys off at day care. There was no doubt in his mind that he had done that.
Can that be accidental give me a goddamn break what is wrong with these parents you know how to make the kids and screw all day but they don’t know how to take care of the kids what the fuck this is messed up charge them with murder
I feel bad for the parents but, when you have kids that is your top priority how can you forget your kids in a car ?
Tragic 🙏🏼💔❤️🩹
GiantsGem How do you forget 2 kids in a car? They don't just get in on their own.
So sad. I will never understand how you accidentally leave your children in a hot car for hours and not realize it? Irresponsible at the cost of these children’s lives. What could distract a person where you forget the very children you put in the car? Smh
This is truly tragic. I'm surprised the daycare would not have called to check up on them when they were failed to be dropped off? This would have triggered the parents before the babies died. Perhaps more checks & balances need to be enforced? Where was mom?
Accidental my ass! That's called murder.... period! Parents didn't miss those babies for... NINE HOURS?! Oh... where are our beautiful twin, 20 month old babies? They're sure quiet... YEAH ASSHOLE... THEY'RE ROASTED TWINS NOW! Accidentally killed the babies. UNREAL
💔

I guess people don't get charged for negligence anymore
Omg
Children have zero rights. They are not appendages of their parents and anyone who neglects the safety of their child should be charged.
Wow just wow. Im sorry but he should be charged
