I am not seeing the connection between obeying your husband and leaving your disabled child in a hot car for 17 hours in the summer. *cries*

What a terrible thing to do to another human being, especially a child in such a vulnerable state. And, Joey, any rational human being knows that the priesthood had nothing to do with this.

Exactly. Horrifying and tragic and without any relation to the priesthood.
