In Japan, a woman was arrested for leaving her baby in a car for three and a half hours while she was at a pachinko parlor which resulted in her son’s death.

Hikari Yamasaki left her 6-month-old baby in the car without turning on the air conditioner in a parking lot with no roof. Under these conditions, the baby eventually suffered heat stroke and died. What kind parent would leave a baby unattended for three and half hours any way? A very foolish one to say the least.

At first Yamasaki told police that her son looked ill when she returned to the car from shopping for one to two hours. Then the following day she changed her story and told police the story above.

Geez. What an irresponsible parent. It’s not like she needed to play panchinko. If she couldn’t find a baby sitter she should have just stayed at home with her child.
