Description

A Utah father accused of taking his three young children, including a 2-year-old son who nearly died, on a dangerous mountain hike appeared in court in Salt Lake County, but the expected preliminary hearing didn’t unfold as planned. The case centers on allegations that 32-year-old Micah Smith led his kids into the backcountry during a sudden storm, leaving them stranded in life-threatening conditions that prosecutors say pushed at least one child to the brink of death.

One child will be permanently disabled by this nightmare attempt on his life. And the depth of the trauma in all three must be profound. What an awful thing to do.

And he went for this "hike" with no supplies if I remember correctly. An absolute psycho. The 8 year old was smarter than dad. Like Einstein smarter.

His marriage was ending so he wanted to hurt his wife by killing the children. He was definitely spiraling and acting bloody strange. Those poor children. I can't believe how much they must have suffered.
