Michael Thedford (pictured main, with his family and holding baby Fern, and inset), an unemployed high school teacher, was arrested in Collin County, outside of Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday.
He was charged with manslaughter after the death of six-month-old Fern and released on a $20,000 bond. Thedford, 33, had dropped his other children, aged three and five, at daycare - but forgot about Fern, who remained strapped into her car safety seat while the temperature outside was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32°C). In a statement released through their attorney, Thedford and his wife Jennifer said they love their children. 'We are heartbroken over the loss of our beautiful baby girl,' they said. 'We love our children. We love Fern, and our hearts will never heal.'
