A young family has been shattered by the death of their five-month-old baby boy after he was unintentionally left in a hot car.
The father, 36-year-old Jeremy Hansen, was arrested and charged with negligent child abuse resulting in death after the tragedy.
Police were called to the parking lot of Pacha Soap Co. in Nebraska on Monday about 5pm amid reports of an unresponsive child in a hot car.
Fire and Rescue officers arrived on the scene and tried to revive the little boy.
He was transferred to Mary Lanning Healthcare in Hastings, where he died.
According to a preliminary investigation, his cause of death was extreme heat exposure.
On Tuesday, Hansen was formally charged by the Adams County Attorney.
He will appear in court for a hearing on Friday.
Despite the arrest, the community has rallied behind the Hanson family, with more than 400 donors coming together to raise over $33,000 for them in their time of grief.
Loved ones have also set up a meal train where they can lock in dates to provide the couple and their surviving three children a meal.
Dinners for the next three months have been scheduled and divided amongst friends and family.
Other loved ones have railed against prosecutors for laying charges against a grieving father.
'I'm so deeply saddened and disappointed to see the judgement that has been cast so easily,' one schoolmate of Hansen's wrote online.
'Imagine your greatest fear, your largest human moment …as a parent being put on display for everyone to judge, while simultaneously trying to even comprehend the events that led to your greatest loss.
'He doesn't deserve this. His family doesn't deserve this. No one deserves this. Like it's been said before… how about we lift them up in prayer instead of tearing them down.
