Horrible, tragic news today out of Georgia:
A father is in police custody after his twin 15-month old girls were found dead inside a very hot car.
The children were discovered in a vehicle that was parked outside an apartment complex in Carrollton, Georgia, which is located approximately 50 miles west of Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution supplied us with most of the terrible details regarding this story.
According to reports, bystanders attempted to cool off the unresponsive infants in a pool prior to the arrival of paramedics.
Once authorities arrived on scene, they rushed the girls to a nearby hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Temperatures in the Carrollton area on Thursday escalated to over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with high humidity.
It"s unclear how long the father kept the girls in the car, but the exact time frame obviously doesn"t matter. It was too long.
He has been charged with multiple counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Tragically, incidents such as this have now taken place over 20 times this summer.
Just last week, we wrote about a two-year old who was left in a hot car in Dallas by her family, passing away as a result.
Prior to that, there was the four-year old in Pennsylvania who was left in a car by its babysitter all day and then died.
Just incomprehensible actions all around. It"s hard not to break down in tears simply reading about these deaths.
The following video goes into more detail about this latest crime, while also going back over a few others from this summer.
May these kids rest in peace.
