Juan Rodriguez is a social worker in the Bronx. Last week, he forgot his 1-year-old twins inside his parked car.

Now the man whose wife maintains is a “great father” is facing criminal charges.

Catch me up: What exactly happened?

Last Friday, Mr. Rodriguez drove from his home in Rockland County to his job at the James J. Peters V.A. Medical Center in the Bronx. The temperature that day reached 86 degrees.

Around 8 a.m., he parked his silver Honda Accord and went inside to work. Around 4 p.m., he got back into his car and began driving home. Two blocks later, he realized his twins were in the back seat.

He jumped out and screamed.

Mr. Rodriguez was arrested and charged with two counts each of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child.
