## Resource

A Detroit father faces a chilling reckoning after allegedly leaving his one-year-old daughter unattended at a party, then speeding away on a motorcycle without securing her—only for both to crash. The toddler suffered serious injuries, and the dad reportedly tried to flee the scene. Charges were dismissed this week when the key witness didn’t show up—but prosecutors called the act “atrocious and horrendous,” calling it a miracle she survived. Whether charges will be refiled remains uncertain. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
