The Rome Public Prosecutor's Office is challenging the manslaughter of the father of the 14-month-old girl found dead in his car last Wednesday in Rome. The accusation is linked to the fact that the seat in the car was not equipped with the anti-abandonment device that has become mandatory in Italy for some years for children under 4 years of age.
The deputy prosecutor Paolo Ielo, who coordinates the investigations of the carabinieri, has ordered the autopsy on the body of the child but according to a very first hypothesis the death could be linked to collapse linked to high temperatures inside the passenger compartment.
According to what we learn, the car was also equipped with tinted windows and for this reason, perhaps, no one noticed for hours the presence of the child inside the car
The father, 45, during the interrogation reconstructed what happened stating that he was convinced that he had accompanied the child to the nursery, which is a few meters from her office. A daily routine modified perhaps only by the fact that he did not put the bag he carried with him, as he did every day, next to his daughter, but left it in the front seat. This would, therefore, have led him not to open the rear door of the car.
