Indeed, a very tragic story.
What good would it do charge the father? In my opinion, possibly a lot of good and I believe they should throw the book at him. Why? He was negligent in the death of that child and should be held accountable. Prosecuting him might stop this from happening again. If they had been in a car and the kid was sitting on the dashboard and was killed, he would be in jail. Period. No questions asked. We may not be able to make being dumb illegal, but, we can make dumb acts illegal and then maybe the dumb people would think a little before acting. This is worthy of a manslaughter charge at the minimum.
