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.

    Looks like that’s a tesla roped off there, because of course that’s the type of person that would have this level of thought and irresponsibility. Person was probably watching YouTube videos about babies being too woke and not enough high temperature exposure being the coddling culprit. Or “natural vaccines with heat exposure therapy!”

    The only appropriate sentence for these types of crimes is for the “parent” to be sealed in a glass box for all to witness, in the center of town, without water, in the Phoenix sun, until they experience the same avoidable fate.

    Child protective services need to remove any other children from these homes.
