An Idaho man may be charged with murder for allowing his two young children to walk in icy cold and snowy weather. The man was en route to the children’s mother’s home when his truck became stuck in the snow. The man allowed his two children to walk the remaining ten miles to their mother’s home. After freeing the truck, the man returned home. Later, the boy was found delirious and freezing near a truck stop. The daughter was found dead from hypothermia in a separate location.
This is a tragic story indeed. The father is definitly repsonsible for the welfare of his children and allowing them to walk that far in the snow and cold is criminally reckless. This man must be distraught. Charging him with murder only makes the situation worse. Let’s hope the authorities in Idaho have some decency and common sense.
