Lucio Petrizzi is facing manslaughter charges after he forgot to drop 22-month-old Elena at daycare and went to work, leaving her trapped in his SUV as temperatures soared to 86 degrees.<\/p>\n
By the time he realized his mistake, Elena was unconscious and badly dehydrated. She was rushed to hospital in Ancona, Italy but failed to recover and died three days later, on May 21. Such a sad story. Should the dad be punished?<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t know what happened,\u201d Lucio Petrizzi, a 45-year-old university lecturer, tells cops. \u201cI was convinced I had dropped her off. I locked the car and went to work \u2014 it\u2019s as if someone pulled the plug out of my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucio\u2019s grief-stricken wife Chiarra \u2014 who\u2019s also eight months pregnant \u2014 has urged the police not to charge her husband, insisting his mistake could happen to anyone.<\/p>\n
She says, \u201cHe is not to blame. He is always so busy rushing here there and everywhere. He was always busy himself with me and Elena. He is not guilty of anything. He is an exemplary father.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
