Dad leaves kid in hot car, loses custody

You have to wonder how a father that would leave an 18-month-old locked in a hot car would get custody of his four kids to begin with. The outside temperature on the day this allegedly took place was nearly 100 degrees.

Cosimo Capitiano offered no explanation to the judge Monday about why he left his baby in a hot car Sunday, but his estranged wife’s attorney said he shouldn’t have had custody of the children to begin with.

The attorney representing the children’s mother, Aurelius Capitiano, said the father lied that she was keeping them in an unsafe home in south Florida so that he could get custody of them and avoid having to pay child support. Until he did that, the children had been with their mother. The judge’s decision Monday means all four children are going home with their mother.

Kathy Fishbough just happened to park her car at the Chuck E. Cheese parking lot next to Capitanio’s vehicle. She quickly realized the toddler was locked inside the car.

“All windows were up. The car wasn’t on. No keys in ignition. I was like, ‘You’ve gotta be kidding me,’” she said.
