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.
Replies
I think that maybe he did do this on purpose, and then was in denial that he did. He was confused and shocked that he could kill his own son, but he wanted a different life.
Because he has no other history of mental illness or memory issues, I do not believe his claim that he forgot his child. Furthermore, how on earth do you forget a toddler in the car for an entire day? His story does not add up whatsoever,
Considering the murder (even if it is involuntary manslaughter) along with other unspecified charges, I would think that a life sentence is appropriate.
I agree, because of no further history I think his story is all just selfish. He had done and said way too much that was available for everyone to see in that proves his story completely wrong.
I don't think he "forgot" his son. How do you not see your son or hear him in the back seat when you were in the car multiple times? Plus the daycare even emailed him and said, "Hey! You're sons not here!". Don't you think that would've jogged his memory saying, "Crap, my son is still in my car,". This is ridiculous.
You are right! I think he should have realized especially because of the email. I would also think his son was making noise and not just completely silent considering he is a toddler.
Right, like he's a kid so chances are that he was crying or making noise or talking or babbling or something.... Plus you'd think he would've moved and it would've caught his eye or something.
I agree with the first part that Harris purposely did this, and he wanted to get his "dream life" instead of being happy with what he has in the real life. Life imprisonment with no possibility of parole.
I definitely don't think this was an accident because as a parent you don't just forget about your son liek that. I think he should be in jail for a long time. I would think he should be there forever but I guess there are some rules or specific things that teh criminals need to do to make this.
I definitely do not think this was an accident. Nobody can put their child into their car and then forget about him the entire day. I think he deserves to be put into jail and some charges with something to do about murder. He could not have forgotten about his child the entire day.
I agree, his son is two years old and yes you have things you forget, but he got an email and you would think that he should have his son on his mind often.
