Michael Carey said his confrontation with Parker took place Wednesday after he approached the senator before a committee meeting and asked him to cosponsor a piece of legislation.

Carey said the senator got inches from his face and yelled “I don’t care.” Carey, who became an advocate after his son Jonathan died while in state care, said he responded “You don’t care that my son died?”
