A father is at the center of a very serious charge surrounding the untimely death of his two-year-old son in California. Brandon Padilla-Aguillera was initially seen by his community as a bereaved victim of a flood in Barstow that took his son’s life, but on Oct. 21, he was suddenly handcuffed and escorted out of his house by the Barstow Police Department on charges that he might have been a neglectful father.
There have been far too many instances of parents not taking their responsibilities seriously for the police to take such a situation lightly. In a statement released on its official Facebook page, the Barstow Police Department did not go into detail about what exactly they were going to charge Brandon with, but they did mention that they had diligently carried out investigations for an entire month.
