An Ohio teen dad has been charged with murder after police say he intentionally left his 1-year-old son in a car where temperatures exceeded 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Landon Parrot, 19, has been charged with murder, two counts of endangering children and involuntary manslaughter and is currently held at Tuscarawas County Jail, New Philadelphia Police Chief Michael Goodwin said in a statement on Facebook on Friday.
At 2 p.m. on Thursday, New Philadelphia police were notified by Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital that a 1-year-old child was brought into the emergency room by his father and was unresponsive.
During the initial investigation, detectives found "inconsistent information being given by the father," Goodwin said. As the investigation continued and evidence was collected, the father was confronted with the new information and confessed to detectives what had happened to his son.
