I'm glad it's being treated a homicide because that's exactly what it is.
Lindsay Rogers-Seitz, the boy’s mother, said Kyle drove to the daycare center to pick up their son. When he asked workers if his wife picked up the boy, Kyle was told she had not. He returned to his car, found the boy and rushed to Danbury Hospital.
No charges have yet been filed against Kyle Seitz.
Rogers-Seitz has said she has forgiven her husband. She created a blog, The Gift of Ben, to help raise awareness for hyperthermia.

About Us
My family - Me (Lindsey), my husband, Kyle, and our two beautiful girls. I met my husband at college in the summer of 1998 and it was love at first sight. We were married in 2002 and 12 years later here we are. We both grew up in the South, moving to Connecticut in the fall of 2009 for my new job. To allow one of us to spend needed time with with our two girls, he gave up his job as an electrical engineer to be our stay-at-home dad (we called him "Mr. Mom") for four years, while I pursued my career as a healthcare attorney at a law firm in NYC. After a few years of commuting and working long hours, I began feeling like I "needed" more family time, and right after I got pregnant with Ben a wonderful job fell in my lap that was much closer to home and would allow me to attain a better work-life balance. So I quit my job in NYC and Kyle went back to work, also close to home. We had the perfect life: love, happiness, time, jobs, family. We still do - just different.
My oldest daughter is 8 years old. She's a wonderful human being (kind, empathetic, funny, loving) and, on the side, she's got a passion for soccer. She was Ben's best friend...she got his first smile out of him. I was so jealous!
My youngest daughter is 5 years old. She's our intense, keep us on our toes, never a dull moment child - her mind works a mile a minute! She loves to run, just like her mom. Ben loved to crawl over her lap and just laugh, over and over.
My children are my trinity. My oldest daughter is my heart, my youngest is my soul. And Ben is my joy. And, Kyle, he has always been my rock.
