An Australian couple charged with manslaughter after a three-year-old girl was killed in a hot car allegedly watched Netflix as she died.

Mother Laura Black, 37, and her new boyfriend Aaron Hill, 29, were charged with manslaughter after they allegedly failed to realize that little Rylee Rose was locked in the car one day when the girls Temperatures in Townsville reached 32 ° C.

Rylee was rushed to Townsville University Hospital just before 3 p.m. Friday after she was seen slumped in her booster seat in the back of her mother’s Toyota Prado. She could not be saved.

The car had been parked in the driveway around 9 a.m., when Black and Hill dropped off Rylee’s three older sisters at school.

The couple were supposed to remain behind bars until at least next month, awaiting legal help, however they were both rescued today.

According to the Townsville Bulletin, police allege the couple got into a fight on the way home from school, and Rylee fell asleep in the back.

Upon arriving home, the couple entered, allegedly leaving Rylee in the car and began watching the Netflix show Shameless.

After hours of traversing the popular series, the couple reportedly left home to pick up Rylee’s three older sisters from school, and discovered that the three-year-old was locked inside.

The couple, who had only moved in together two weeks ago, spent the weekend behind bars, but were granted bail today.

In asking for bail, Hill’s attorney said the charge was “one of involuntary act.”

The couple will live separately and face court on February 24.

Meanwhile, Australians are coming together to support the heartbroken family, creating a GoFundMe for Rylee’s “devoted and devastated” father, Pete, and his three older sisters.

Rylee’s three older sisters are now in the care of their father Peter, who regularly uses Facebook to post photos of himself with his children.

The family asked for privacy as they dealt with their loss.

Black and Hill had only been dating for a few months when Rylee died.

According to Kidsafe, Australia’s leading child accident prevention foundation, more than 5,000 children are rescued from hot cars each year.

On a typical Australian summer day, the temperature inside a parked car can be up to 30 ° C higher than the temperature outside, meaning that the temperature inside Rylee’s car was probably above 60 ° C.

And the temperature inside cars rises incredibly fast with 75 percent of the heat occurring within five minutes of closing the car and leaving it.
