'I killed my children!': In New York, the father forgot his twins in a red-hot car

In Rockland County, a 39-year-old father forgot his two one-year-old children in a locked car and only remembered them hours later—by which time the boy and girl were already dead. The father has been charged with manslaughter.

Neighbors and friends protect the father of five children and a veteran of the American army, Juan Rodriguez, calling him a good parent, writes New York Post.

“He is an amazing guy and he was always with his children. This is just a terrible situation, the family is struggling to cope with it, ”one of the buddies Rodriguez told reporters.

The twins, whom another family friend identified as the Moon and Phoenix, have just celebrated their first birthday.

Rodriguez faces double murder charges of criminal negligence. He left the twins in the back seat of his Honda Accord, heading off to work at the James Peters Hospital in Kingsbridge.

The man told the police that he parked outside work at 8 in the morning, and only about 16: 00, intending to leave work, remembered that there were children in the car.

According to police, a passerby called police when he saw Rodriguez screaming on the side of the road (witnesses said the man shouted, “I killed my children!”). When they opened the door, the children were no longer breathing, there was foam in their mouths. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

“It was a terrible mistake. “That’s when you make a mistake once and you have to live with it for the rest of your life,” said family neighbor Tony Caterino. “They were a great family.” We always took care of the children, played in the yard, and last weekend we set up a camp with tents near the house. He was always playing catch or basketball with the older kids.”

Neighbor Paul Bartlett called Rodriguez and his family “good, hard-working people. I can't say anything bad about them. It's a shock to hear this. Nobody here can believe it."
