I know people really don’t play when it comes to their money, but if you leave your child in the car for 3 hours unattended…you need serious help.
The Daily Mail reports:
A Pennsylvania man is facing child welfare charges for allegedly leaving his seven-year-old son alone in a vehicle outside of a casino Tuesday while he gambled, police say.
Police say that Bryan Bolds, 32, of Philadelphia, was inside Parx Casino in Bensalem for nearly three hours gambling while his son sat in the car unattended.
Lt. William McVey, with the Bensalem Police Department, told ABC that a passer-by noticed the child in the vehicle alone yelling for his father and alerted police. That was around 3.30pm.
Officers Immediately took the child to police headquarters and attempted to locate his father.
‘We then monitored [Bolds] on Parx security cameras playing blackjack for the next three hours,’ McVey said.
‘He never made any attempt to go to the vehicle.’
Bolds was arrested at a gaming table and charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child, CBS reports.
For some reason I get that this isn’t his first time doing this.
