A 26-year-old Minnesota father arrested after he allegedly left his 4-year-old son in a hot car for hours as he worked an event in downtown St. Paul.
The boy, who was not identified, died after his father, Kristopher Alexander Taylor, left him in the car for hours as he worked at the Minnesota Monthly 8th Annual Grillfest at CHS Field in downtown St. Paul on Saturday, according to charging documents filed in Ramsey County. The child was left in Taylor's care by his mother, according to the complaint.
Taylor carried his son as he ran into the Regions Hospital around 5:35 p.m.and"frantically" asked for help, according to the probable cause statement. At the time, the boy was not breathing or moving and was taken by medical staff, who began life-saving efforts, the court document states. The boy's mother told police at the hospital that Taylor picked up their son around 2:30 a.m. Friday so she could go to work the early morning shift at her job, according to the complaint. The child was"fine" when Taylor picked him up, the mother told authorities.
Taylor told police that he"didn't think it was that hot," adding that he had done something similar in the past about a year ago and"nothing bad happened." However, on that occasion, Taylor said he left the window all the way down, according to the probable cause statement.
