According to a probable cause affidavit released on Wednesday, he dropped off his two other children, aged three and five, at daycare but forgot about his baby daughter in the back of the car.
上周三,瑟福德的证词对外界公布。他表示自己当时开车带着两个稍大点的孩子(两人的年龄分别为3岁和5岁)去日间托儿所,而最小的女儿却落在了车子的后座上。
He went into his home and fell asleep.

Some four hours later, he discovered his daughter strapped into her car safety seat.
