4-Year-Old Dies in SUV

Should the couple's other seven children be taken away?

On Sunday, Las Vegas parents of eight accidentally left their 4-year-old son in their SUV after a church outing. Little Jason Rimer wasn't discovered missing at lunch, dinner, or even at bedtime. In fact, his body wasn't found until Monday morning, after 17 hours of being left in the car. The child, who had special needs, was deceased. Officials say temperatures likely reached 130 degrees in the hot car.

Radio station KDWN asked the father how his family lost track of a mentally disabled 4-year-old. "No one ever said anybody was missing or anything. We usually keep Sundays a quiet day, and one got away from us," Stan Rimer said. "It never crossed my mind we had one dying in the car."

Now, the couples' other children have been put in protective custody. But the parents maintain this was all just a tragic mistake.

Do you think these parents should get their children back?

Hey. America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week. I am from Estonia and too poorly know English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: “in this price there is a understanding between the led equitization and additional conclusion, which can be wiped.” Waiting for a reply :-(, Michelle.
