Without Natural Affection: Father Was Sexting While His Son Died in Hot Car

Article Source: CNN

Justin Ross Harris, the Georgia man who left his 22-month-old son in a hot car for seven hours last month, was sexting six different women while his son died. Ross sent photos of his "exposed ... erect penis" to the women over the Kik messaging app, Detective Phil Stoddard testified in court. And, because one of the girls was 17 years old, Ross may also face charges for "felony sexual exploitation of a minor and misdemeanor illegal contact with a minor," according to CNN.

Harris was in court to determine if he'd be granted bail and whether his case would go forward. The hearing was set to determine probable cause, which is why the judge allowed testimony on Ross's sexting. 

Harris is charged with the June 18 death of his son Cooper, who he claims he forgot to drop off at day care that morning. Witnesses said they saw Harris run out of the car and shout "Oh, my God, what have I done?" when he discovered his son's body seven hours later. On June 28, however, a search warrant found that Harris has researched children dying in cars and how hot it needs to be for that to happen. His wife also researched children dying in cars, and told police that she'd researched car deaths because it was a fear of hers. Stoddard testified that the Harris family was having financial trouble and had two insurance policies on Cooper, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000. Friends of the Harrises, however, said Justin was a loving father. "He loved showing Cooper off to everybody," one man said. "He was always happy. Cooper was always smiling."

Ohio Boy Kills Mother Over Chores(Without Natural Affection and Rebellious Kids)

MILLERSBURG, Ohio –  An Ohio boy admitted he fatally shot his mother in the head with a rifle when he was 10 after what a relative described as an argument over chores.

The boy, now 13, entered the equivalent of a guilty plea Monday in juvenile court.

In January 2011, the boy went to a neighbor's house, called 911 and told the dispatcher he had shot his mother at their home in rural Holmes County, about 70 miles northeast of Columbus. "I shot my mom. I shot her with a gun," he said.

At the time, his uncle said the boy and his mother had argued over carrying firewood.

Defense attorney Andy Hyde said the boy lived in an emotionally abusive environment, was provoked by his mother's screaming and "just snapped."

The boy "is one of those that I just feel sorry for," Hyde said. "He had a lot dumped on him at a young age and responded inappropriately, but the spur-of-the-moment decision now will affect the rest of his life."

The boy will be sentenced later and could be held in a youth facility until he's 21. Hyde said Wednesday that the judge can consider a range of placement options, and he'll ask that the boy go to a residential treatment facility with access to counseling.

County Prosecutor Steve Knowling told The Repository in Canton the plea deal avoids a trial that benefits no one.

"It's obviously a very difficult situation because of his age, but it's still a murder case," Knowing  told the newspaper. He didn't immediately respond to a message seeking further comment Wednesday.

The boy said he understood his plea agreement during the Monday hearing attended by his father and other relatives, The Repository reported.

The issue of a trial had been on hold because the boy initially was found not competent for that. The court then found him competent earlier this year.

The boy has received counseling for anxiety and depression and can't bring himself to talk about the shooting, Hyde said.
