An adult with special needs was found lifeless in the parking lot of a high school after his caretaker allegedly left him in his car all day during scorching temperatures. The employee now faces involuntary manslaughter charges while the grieving family is seeking financial help.
Dontarious Batts, who was nonverbal and autistic, lost his life after Roger Lee Inge Jr., his caretaker, left him for an entire day inside his car while he was working his second job.
The 55-year-old worked as a janitor at Cleveland High School in North Carolina, USA. On Tuesday (August 20), Inge had driven with Batts, leaving his care recipient inside his car with the windows up and the engine off.
