A two-year-old girl lost her life in a hot car in Arizona, USA, after her father was too “distracted” by playing video games. The disgraced parent is now facing second-degree murder and child abuse charges. Text exchanges with the dad and his wife further exposed the horrific nature of the incident.
According to an interim complaint, the man’s other two children, ages nine and five, said that their father, whose name is Christopher Scholtes, had left all three children alone in the vehicle regularly and stated that “he got distracted by playing his game and putting his food away” when their sister was in the car, KOLD News 13 reported.
A PlayStation was reportedly taken by authorities as part of the ongoing investigation, as well as several other electronics. The vehicle, a 2023 Acura MDX, was also taken by detectives from the Marana Police Department.
