I do not think he should be punished.
I do not think the police would bring charges in this case.
I do not think a judge would ever give a sentence in this case.

I do agree with butthead and understand his frustration.
I do not agree with rockogre or weedline who show a deliberate and conscious disregard for the sanctity of life, unlike the father who was thoughtless and negligent - not something I encourage or take lightly, but not something as blameworthy as a deliberate desire to inflict a painful death upon another.

If however you do insist on punishing this father (though I have stated on page 1 why I think punishment is inapprpriate) then I can make some recommendations:

- A lengthy period of community service teaching about the dangers of cars in hot weather to other parents and pet owners.
- Participation in public safety broadcast to remind people of the danger of hot cars.
- A community service period that uses his skills as a teacher to help children in the community.

No material prison or physical punishment will ever match the mental anguish, despair and loss that this father will feel for the rest of his life. He was a teacher. He had devoted his life to caring for children. He must now live with the fact that his negligence led to the death of his own.
