> On a bone-chilling Christmas Day, a single father set out to drive his two young children to their mother’s home, but the trip came to an abrupt halt when his car got stuck in a snowdrift. Then, prosecutors say, the man did the unthinkable: He sent the pair to walk the remaining 10 miles to their mother’s alone, leaving them to trudge through the desolate countryside in frigid temperatures. Hours later, his 11-year-old daughter was dead from hypothermia. And the man’s 12-year-old son narrowly survived after growing delirious from the bitter cold.

Don’t suppose idaho has the death penalty…

Sometime after the children began walking, Aragon was able to free his car from the snowdrift and drive back to Jerome, a town about 100 miles southeast of Boise where the largest employers are cheese and milk processing plants.  
Then the children’s mother called to say the kids never arrived. When authorities found Aragon about 10 p.m., he was searching for the children at the site where the car had become stranded.

He didn’t even see if they got there after a 10 mile walk???

Quoted for newmans Love of poor people… this guy spread shit for a living

> Aragon lived with the children in a small house and earned $12 an hour spreading manure. His boss said the two children often came to work with him in the summer when school was out.
