Gambler Leaves Children In Car!!

The scene this weekend has become all too familiar at the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. For the sixth time this summer, a parent left their child in the car while the adult was inside the casino gambling.

Paul Vargas was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The District Judge set bail at $250,000. The charge is a misdemeanor, but could come with heavy consequences for Vargas. Previously, protective services have taken the children left in automobiles from their parents custody.

Parx Casino was warned just one week ago about their security measures to ensure that this type of activity did not continue. The casino assured gaming regulators that they were taken all the precautions necessary to keep the situation from repeating.

Yes we have had the same thing here in Aus many times also, there are signs up at all the gaming venues about not leaving children in the car. You do wonder what these people are thinking. Where I was just recently holidaying they actually have a free babysitting service at most of the places for children under age, which we used to use when our boys were young, a really great idea I think to offer that service.
