Son Who Left Parents in Hot Car Can See Mother
A judge "modified" an order of protection that had banned 48-year-old Theodore Pressman from seeing his mother. Earlier this week, Pressman was charged with reckless endangerment after leaving his elderly parents in a hot car for hours while he went to work his shift as a bus driver in Peekskill. Both parents suffer from dementia, and while his mother was able to get out of the car, his father died, apparently from the sweltering heat. Pressman's mother is reportedly anorexic and will only eat when her son is present. Pressman has been described a loving, devoted son who was perhaps overwhelmed.

A man died, but at least the typo police are out in force!

A man died, but at least the typo police and the people policing the typo police are out in force! You must be a Gothamist intern.

It's not bad enough that you don't care about the dead man, you try to be snarky about it, too. And you suck at it.

@#4 -- I guess you care about the dead man by posting this comment? You, too, must be a Gothamist intern.
Okay, how would you show care by commenting on this piece.

Because name calling is the way to do it.
