rom what i’ve read it’s typically a case of being a departure from routine. example: if he rarely or maybe even never drops kid off on way to work in morning. normal routine kicks in, mind wanders, etc. dad literally does exactly what he does every morning without ever even thinking. baby doesn’t cry/make noise or anything just adds to it. not excusing him in any way. just one of the more common threads in these incidents.

As always we need more facts. If alcohol was involved, I can understand what happened (though not necessarily excusing it).

Where was the mother?
