They weren't allowed to give me any more detail. They told me that Ben had been taken there by Kyle. "We've got to get you to the hospital," an officer said. "Is there something going on with my family that I need to know about?" Then I walked up to the front desk with the girls.
I drove to the police station and had an anxiety attack outside. "It's what happens every summer," I thought. I knew in my gut that there was no explanation but a hot car. I would have known about it earlier in the day. The Seitz family welcomed Ben into their family in 2003.Īt first, I thought they might have had a car accident. Then your husband came to pick him up, but he wasn't here." Then the day care called and said, "We're calling to check up on Ben to see if he's OK." I said, "What do you mean, 'Is he OK?'" And they said, "He never came to day care this morning. I started texting him, but he didn't respond. Kyle and I are always in contact throughout the day via text or phone. I was at soccer with my older daughter, who had practice that afternoon. He parked at his office, unknowingly leaving Ben in his car seat in the back of the car. But for some reason - whether it was because the house was crowded and we'd had a hectic morning - Kyle forgot about going to the day care.
If you do something habitually every day, it can become almost automatic. Ben's day care called to say that he hadn't been there all day It was shortly after July 4, and my parents were visiting. It was always the routine that Kyle took Ben to day care on his way to work. Kyle was a stay-at-home dad until he got a new job when Ben was 4 months. He wanted to throw it so badly, but he didn't know how. We have the cutest video of him running with a ball in his hand when he was around 13 months old. He had about 20 in his room and he took them everywhere. He loved to play with soft, plushy balls. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
