    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A sheriff’s deputy in San Antonio, Texas, was arrested and fired after leaving his 2-month-old baby in a hot car for about three hours on Monday, authorities said.

    The 2-month-old was found unresponsive inside the vehicle just after 1 p.m. local time and was taken to the hospital, where they remained in critical condition as of Tuesday, according to WOAI.

    The National Weather Service in San Antonio posted a forecast with temperatures as high as 94 degrees for Monday, saying “mainly dry and warm conditions” were expected to prevail in the days ahead.

    “Given the amount of awareness in the community regarding leaving children unattended in vehicles, there is absolutely no valid excuse for this to have occurred,” Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a statement.

    About 46% of the times a child has been forgotten in a vehicle, the caregiver had meant to drop them off at a daycare or preschool, it states.

    In 2020 and 2021, the annual numbers for hot car deaths involving children were 25 and 23, respectively, with each representing less than half the figure for 2019: 53.

    Funny how cops never get fired on the spot when they “accidentally” kill a minority.

    I thought normal procedure was to give them a month of paid leave.
