Sheriff investigating death of 4-month-old baby in Arizona

The baby was taken to the hospital for a heat-related illness and later died, officials said.

Why would you take an infant and young child on the lake in 110 heat?

[strangelyparanormal]

Tragic but WHY would the poor child’s STUPID parents think it’s okay to take a baby out in 120 degree heat? The parents are 100% responsible for the baby’s death. Sad.

Heat Stroke. Parents are responsible sadly

[ggonzalez]

These people need to be held accountable! Such ignorance to bring an infant out in this extreme environment.

[mjblue]

To the parents out there who want to go to the lake, please find a babysitter! Babies and young children do NOT belong outside in this kind of HEAT!!!

Not trying to hurt anybody with this comment, but who takes a baby out in this heat? I wouldn't take a dog out in the summer, I won't even go anywhere unless I have to. I had heatstroke as a child, thanks to my mother. I'm old now, but remember like yesterday, how sick I was, at about 9 years old. There's no excuse for this, that poor little baby should never have been taken outdoors, not here in the desert. 😢

Putting a lifejacket on an infant when it's 113 degrees is like putting them in a winter coat. Poor baby

[deathdanny]

same crappy parents that will walked their kid or dog in the middle of the day when its 110 also as a dad of a 4 year old who the hells takes a baby to the lake?! They sacrificed their kids life to have a day at the lake pathetic. Please charge them

[Kattaz]

What idiots to take their 4 month old infant out on lake in those extreme temperatures!!!
Feel so bad for the baby, not the stupid parents. And now they have a GoFundMe???
Don’t think so!!’

[Lop-SidedScales-srot]

The baby’s parents are very bright to take an infant outside on one of the hottest days of the year during the hottest part of the day; only God knows how long they were out there. Now the baby is dead and they have the nerve to set up a go fund me for a problem they caused.

[lynnmarble]

How awful! But, why would you take a newborn out for any extended period of time in this heat???

[keiraann]

Nah. She was unattended too long. Neglect. Period.

[robertsterner]

They even made it worse by setting up a GoFundMe page, like they deserve a reward for their stunning lack of judgment. Please charge do you really want someone with such poor judgment serving in law enforcement?

[aprilsims]

They left her in the boat while they cooled off in the water ! Yeah they need to go to jail !

[michelleevans]

Selfish parents couldn't miss some fun and risked their baby's life - shame

[ckrs]

As sad as this is, I am relieved to see that law enforcement is investigating this situation. If this baby died due to exposure to the heat, then they need to be held accountable for their actions. In addition, any other minor children in the family need protection. The article indicates that they also took the newborn out in the boat in April, May, and June. That clearly indicates that these parents are making bad decisions when it comes to raising their children. God bless this innocent helpless baby🙏.

I've been to Lake Havasu many times and the heat is atrocious.I cannot imagine taking a 4 month old baby out on the lake.These parents need to be held accountable.This is There is no 120 degree weather is not a place for a baby!!
And then the parents have the audacity to set up a go fund me site!!!

[KyleBthe]

But, a 4-month-old baby?!!
Please just go to jail. Both of you, please!

[paigenich]

As soon as i heard this story I was filled with anger and rage at these parents. I am sure they are currently going through a living hell but they brought this on! What were they thinking!? They couldn't have been thinking straight. Were they drinking? Did they get in the water to cool themselves off? Certainly they had to have felt incredibly and uncomfortably hot themselves- HOW do you not realize how this would affect a baby? Were they drinking/impaired? And the audacity to make posts about how sad they are, photos of them with their baby injured (and eventually dead) at their hand! And people giving them money! They'll need it for a lawyer! Such an avoidable death of an innocent child. Something isn’t right here.

[memthedevil]

They have a go fund me currently at $50, 000... They should be in jail. If you see this, go and report that go fund me.
