The father of a toddler who was killed after he was forgotten inside a hot car on scorching Sydney summer's day has spoken out in the hopes of preventing similar deaths. 9News
A distraught Newaz Hasan said it was a morning like any other when he accidentally drove straight to work, forgetting to drop three-year-old Arikh at daycare, leaving him strapped to his car seat for six hours in temperatures above 35C.
The father, from Sydney's western suburbs, loaded up his Toyota Carola with his two children - aged three and six - on the morning of January 1, and dropped his oldest off to Glenfield Primary School before heading off to work. He then worked for six hours from his home office in Glenfield, got back in the car at around 3pm to pick up his older son from school but still didn't realise Arikh was in the back.Hasan said that his younger his son had slept poorly the previous night, which might have led to him being more quiet than normal.
