A judge "modified" an order of protection that had banned 48-year-old Theodore Pressman from seeing his mother. Earlier this week, Pressman was charged with reckless endangerment after leaving his elderly parents in a hot car for hours while he went to work his shift as a bus driver in Peekskill. Both parents suffer from dementia, and while his mother was able to get out of the car, his father died, apparently from the sweltering heat. Pressman's mother is reportedly anorexic and will only eat when her son is present. Pressman has been described a loving, devoted son who was perhaps overwhelmed.
