A 38-year-old father from Phoenix was arrested last Thursday (July 24) after police rescued his four young children from a parked car that had reached a staggering 124 degrees Fahrenheit.
The man, identified as Ascencio Largo, was allegedly shopping at an adult entertainment store while intoxicated—leaving his children to suffer in the heat for nearly an hour.
The case has not only reignited national outrage over parental negligence, it also tested the patience of the police officials involved in the rescue.
