A 2-year-old girl has died after her father left her in a hot car in Arizona, where residents are enduring triple-digit temperatures, according to authorities.

The father was running errands with his daughter, and when he returned home Tuesday afternoon, he allegedly knowingly left the 2-year-old in the car, Marana Police Capt. Tim Brunenkant told ABC News.

He left the car running and the air conditioning on, Brunenkant said.

The dad went into the house, and when he returned to the car between 30 and 60 minutes later, the car was off, Brunenkant said.

    As a fellow parent, I will never empathize or sympathize with these poor decisions. How could you leave your fucking child in the car, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. Idgaf if they were sleeping or whatever. Idgaf how exhausted you are. You have a responsibility to your child. If they are so difficult to keep put them up for adoption or some shit. I’ve never and could never forget my kids or leave my kids somewhere like this. This is pure stupidity.

    I don’t think he should be charged but the mother should be entitled to a divorce with alimony at the expense of the father. He is the type of person to not give a shit about anyone but himself.
