It wasn't clear exactly how long the boy had been inside the vehicle, but Police Chief Charles Clifton said it may have been an “extended time throughout the day."

he district attorney's office will determine whether any charges are warranted.

Well, with tomorrow being the first day of autumn, at least we're finally getting closer to the end of baby-roasting season. I wonder what 2022's final toll will be?

As I said in another baked kid thread, it may be Fall and cooler in some parts of the country, but the South isn't one of them. Right now in DFW it's 95F with no relief in sight.

On 12/26/15 it was hot enough for us all to be in shorts. At 6:30 pm just as I was ready to put dinner on the table, we got hit by a tornado which was only one of several that tore through DFW that evening and several deaths; a woman and her son died when their car was thrown from the freeway onto the service road below and a woman died when the family's trailer was blown away.

We mostly skip Fall and Winter doesn't arrive until January at the earliest. Anything else is weird.

William “Bill” Wiesman, 56, is charged with reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after authorities said his 2-year-old grandson died when he was left in a hot vehicle for seven hours on Tuesday.

Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey announced the warrants Wednesday afternoon.

“These are not intentional acts, they are negligent acts, they are reckless acts,’' Casey said.
“He always thought he took the child to daycare. On three occasions he was back in the truck, drove in the truck with the child in the back.”

“As a result of his behavior, his acts, the child died,’' she said.

Wiesman is in custody and undergoing the booking process.

According to charging documents against Wiesman, the boy was found dead just before 3 p.m. Tuesday outside Kids Campus Daycare in Oneonta.

He was in the rear driver’s side of his grandfather’s pickup truck.

He was fastened in a front-facing car seat and died from prolonged heat exposure. Casey emphasized that the daycare was not involved in any way.

The affidavit chronicles Tuesday’s events, which show Wiesman was in and out of the truck three times Tuesday, all while Ian was in his car seat.

Wiesman told authorities he had been taking his grandson to daycare while the boy’s mother recovered from hip surgery.

He would pick up the child in the morning from his Springville Boulevard home and drop him off at the daycare on Highway 75, roughly three miles away.

When he dropped of Ian, he would typically leave the car seat so Ian’s aunt could pick him up from daycare.

Wiesman insisted that he had dropped Ian at the daycare Tuesday and then went to work at SET Logistics in Oneonta where he parked his truck.

He told investigators that at 12:45 p.m., he left work, entered his truck and drove home for lunch. He walked outside to smoke a cigarette and play a game on his phone and then returned to work in his truck.
At 2:45 p.m., Wiesman received a call from Liam’s mother, who is Wiesman’s daughter, saying that the daycare told her Liam had not been to daycare and his aunt was there to pick him up.

Wiesman insisted he had dropped off the boy.



Wiesman then got into his truck for the third time and drove to the daycare. The boy’s aunt came to the truck and found the boy unresponsive.



During the interview with investigators, Wiesman admitted to entering his truck at least three times after he had placed the boy inside – beginning at 7:55 a.m. and the last time at 2:55 p.m.

Alabama man charged in grandson’s hot car death returned to truck 3 times, DA says

William “Bill” Wiesman is charged with reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Ian Wiesman.

I never put the seat behind me, easier to see it if it's on the other side.

A comment from social media

Here's the thing...as sad as this story is...there is NO way that he got into that car and drove around in it without knowing the child was in there. Speaking from working with animals who have past due to severe heat stroke...a lot of the time they defecate and have seizures...he had to have heard or smelled something. This story is too fishy in my honest opinion. But regardless I am glad to see charges filed....too many get away with a slap on the wrist... accident or not ..it makes it way too easy for people to say "oops it was an accident," and subsequently have an easy out...to become kid free.

I'm not in favor of giving any of them a pass any more. I think most people are sick of it like the commenter and tired of the excuses.

We're heading into winter so there will be deaths relating to carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty heating systems and especially crummy space heaters. Fires will also be rampant for the same reasons.

Literally makes no sense. Daycare calls and he insists he dropped the baby off, gets back in truck again and drives to daycare, and it takes the aunt going out to the truck to locate the child? Is the geezer in the final stages of acute dementia?

He looks like a drinker.
