32. Do you realize that you haven't even ruled out

that he did this 100% on purpose? He could have literally thrown the kid in the road and you would never know it because of the assumptions you're making.

You don't know what happened between the parking lot and the road, and it's not fair to make assumptions. You don't know how long they were outside of the car. You don't even know how far the parking lot is from the road. You don't know if the boyfriend got or made a phone call or reached into the car for a jacket or umbrella. You, and everyone reading this article, are totally clueless to the larger context of what happened here.

All you've done is vilify the man because it happened to be raining when he took the kid out of the car. You want to execute the man because it was raining. You, and certainly our justice system, need to do better than that.
