Killing Your Son, an "Accident"??

Justin Ross Harris has been in jail to over two years now, and he might get to spend the rest of his life there with multiple charges. More information has been found out, and released and it is now believed that Harris purposefully killed his two year old son. 

In 2014, Harris was to drop his two year old off at daycare, but the little boy never ended at daycare. Harris went on with his regular work day schedule, except he spent all day conversing via internet dating sights, apps, and his cellphone with multiple women. Harris received an email from his sons daycare, and had gone in the car on multiple occasions throughout the day to go places, but he "never noticed" his most likely already dead son. His son remained in the car, from 9:25 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. When he "first noticed" his son he pulled into a supermarket and went crazy.  He drug his son out of the car and began yelling, which gained him a lot of attention. Some began calling officials and others tried performing CPR. His son was dead, and later that night he was arrested.

Harris allegedly had many accounts on sights that he posted a lot about not wanting kids and hating being married. His wife had known little about all of this. Harris and his wife have since been divorced, and more and more charges have added up for him. The main question everyone poses, is whether or not Harris purposely killed his son because he didn't want him and was too busy worrying about other women and a dream life. 

The death penalty has been deleted from any form of happening but Harris sits with a life sentence on the line, along with multiple other charges for not only his actions with his son, but also minors and other women.

Questions

Do you agree with saying Harris purposely did this to get his "dream" life, or do you agree with saying he had a memory breach and all of this was an accident? 

What charges and punishments do you think Harris deserves for these actions? 

My Opinion

I think this story is terrible. I think Harris did this all to get what he wanted so he could be happy with what he didn't have. I don't know how anyone believes he just forgot the child, especially for that long since he was in the car multiple times and the smell had to have been noticeable.

  • Well done Clara!

  • I dont see how u forget your son is in the car,If he truly cared about him he would of been thing about him throughout the day.

    He should get life in prison this just shows how much he didn't care about his son.

  • I think he does deserve a life in prison. I believe he did this on purpose.. He is disgusting..  

  • I mean maybe to an extend but I mean when you have a kid and most people say they don't they end up loving the kid to some degree some people do. But maybe he just was caught up in all his social media and just forgets the kid is there witch is bad. I mean He should be punished because it just kind of like the older you get the more you forget. I think he should get full extent because he did kill a kid and he should have known and got off of social media and took care of his kid. 

  • I don't think you could not notice your son in the back of your car. It seems like he did this on purpose. Killing your own child is a terrible thing he should be punished for the full extent of it.

    • I am in full agreement with you. Killing his innocent son is unacceptable for any matter and he should get punished fully for it, along with his other wrong doings. 

  • I think he wanted the dream life. The kid obviously made noise. I think he should spend life in prison because this is terrible, and he can not be trusted. 

  • I don't know how someone could "accidentally" kill their 2 year old son. Since he was in the car and driving around that day, I don't know how it is possible for him to not know he is there. Every time he would look out of his rear view window, he would have had to seen the child.. I think that he needs to be in jail for life.

    • The life sentence is something many agree he should have. His story does not add up at all, and his previous actions just prove what he did to be even more true. I don't think this man should be trusted at all, and what he did is completely unacceptable.

    • I agree on the fact that he should have got a divorce and left his family if he was that unhappy. That would have been the better option, rather then killing his innocent son and hurting his then wife even more. I think all of this was selfish.
