Father and 2 children found unresponsive in hot car in desert, missing for 15 hours

A Nevada man, Brian Laugeson, has been charged with child abuse or neglect after he and his two children were found suffering from heat-related illnesses in a vehicle in the desert. The children, who were naked and going in and out of consciousness, were discovered by police officers in 105-degree temperatures. Laugeson, who had custody of the children for the weekend, was reported missing along with them, and his location was tracked using his cell phone. He and the children were hospitalized, and a court-ordered blood test revealed that Laugeson had ingested illegal narcotics. The children remain hospitalized, and Laugeson is scheduled for a pretrial custody hearing.
