Baby dies in a sweltering car

[Jazzy]

A father whose foster daughter died in a sweltering car as he smoked marijuana and watched Game Of Thrones has been jailed.

Seth Jackson, 29, admitted the involuntary manslaughter of Kadillak Poe-Jones but begged a judge not to jail him insisting: ‘I’m not a monster.’

He had originally been charged with murder but was jailed for just under three years.

Police said Jackson left the baby in a vehicle in Wichita, Kansas, for several hours on July 24 as temperatures in the city hovered around [90 F].

Jackson had picked up marijuana from a dealer and then returned home but began smoking it without taking taking Kadillak out of the car, prosecutors said.

Jackson told police he forgot the girl was in the car and only realised when he saw a child on the Game Of Thrones episode he was watching with his partner Payton Schroeder.

The teaching assistant rushed back to the car, but Kadillak was dead.

An autopsy has revealed that Kadillak , who Jackson had been fostering since she was two-weeks-old -died due to heat exposure.

On Friday, Jackson wept as he begged to be spared prison, telling a packed courtroom: ‘Your honour, I’m a broken man, pleading here for my life.’

Jailing Jackson, the judge said that while Jackson may not have intentionally abandoned Kadillak, it was not an accident.

Do you think it was an accident that he left the baby in the vehicle? Why / Why not?

I don't care. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Kadillak won't get her life back due to his irresponsibility, so screw him.

What about this baby that you said wasn't neglect on the parents part. Shouldn't they be locked up too? They left that baby alone in a car with a loaded gun and the gun wasn't even locked up. The safety wasn't even on.

Wait, you're actually surprised about TRUE LIBERTY's opinion not making sense?

Yes you are.

How the hell could anyone forget about a baby in a car for several hours? High on pot or not.

Were the parents high on pot?

Did they have a criminal history of violence like above.

If yes for the other parents then my opinion would change. Otherwise the other parents made a horrible mistake while this one was showing clear neglect before leaving the baby in the car.

Do I make comments about how stupid I might think your posts are? No! I keep it on the subject at hand and will ask you to do the same.

neglect 100%, that person shouldn't have been a parent anyways...


@liberty, it doesn't matter if someone has a past criminal record or not, neglect is neglect...

especially if a death is involved...

Then every child on planet earth needs to be awarded to the government because at one time or another a parent is going to make a mistake that you seem neglect

i didn't say all accidents are neglect... all cases are different, and must be looked at by a case-by-case basis and use common sense if the accident was the parents fault or not, and in this case it was!

But that is exactly what you are saying. You just get to knit pick which object makes it neglect or a accident. Lol!

leaving your child in a car for hours at a time is an accident, in a lot of cases, and if that child died, it's the person who left that child in the car fault, and it's neglect because it was 100% preventable...

I agree and have heard many horror stories from good parents who have forgotten that there child was in the back. But with this person it is far worse because of his history and being high on drugs. Law enforcement, lawyers and judges would disagree since many times they choose not to prosecute.
