NY dad forget the child in car for 8 hours a day cold

COLONIE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a New York man who left his son, 1-year-old in his car for eight hours in frigid weather only realized his mistake after a call from his wife.

Police in the suburb of Colonie Albany say he forgot to take his son to day care and left the baby strapped in the back seat of the car when he parked outside his Office Thursday morning.

The officials say the man received a call from his wife at about 16, inquiring about their son. He called an ambulance and he was checked out at a hospital and released. Police say that the child will not suffer damage despite temperatures that do not exceed 15 degrees.

Police said Friday they haven't determined whether the father would have charged.
