PEORIA, Ill. — A central Illinois couple faces first-degree murder charges in the death of their 5-month-old baby, who was found unresponsive in a car seat that had been placed in a crib.
Both Tracey Hermann, 21, and James Sargent, 23, appeared Wednesday in Peoria County Circuit Court in the death of Benjamin Sargent.
The charges state the parents' actions or lack thereof, were "brutal and heinous . . . indicative of wanton cruelty," factors that could mean they face up to 100 years in prison if convicted.

From the link: The 5-month-old was dropped off at his parents' house on Feb. 4, strapped into his car seat. Eight days later, he was found in the same position, said Peoria County State's Attorney Kevin Lyons during a bond hearing for the parents.
Left in a car seat for eight days with no food/water or attention from the parents. When I first saw the title I just guessed this was about another poor kid left in the car, but left in a car seat in the crib for eight days, how could they not hear the crying? Wonder how long before a public defender will argue this loving couple are mentally defective?

During the eight days the baby was strapped in the seat, both Hermann and Sargent were home, "playing video games, watching TV, feeding and caring for themselves," Lyons said.
How do you just FORGET about your baby like that and NEGLECT him for EIGHT DAYS?!
