Parents of an infant in northeastern Florida were arrested last weekend after allegedly leaving the baby in the car with the engine running while they were drinking at a bar.

On the night of July 18, a 60-year-old man who is a new father was hanging out at the Smiles bar in Palm Coast. His wife, 28, was taking care of the baby, and she reportedly stopped by the bar to get money from him so she could go to the store. When she got out of the car, she allegedly left the infant alone in the vehicle with the engine running, the headlights on, and the doors unlocked. A woman spotted the car on her way into the establishment, and shortly after, she notified the authorities.

Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office went to the address, and they reported that the infant was unharmed and asleep in a car seat inside the vehicle. Approximately 10 minutes later, the child’s mother came outside. She talked to the deputies and explained that she did not want to expose her son to the smoke inside the bar while she picked up the money from her husband. She reportedly added that she had a few sips of a drink that she was handed, and said her husband was paying his tab so he could take the baby home. A bartender also confirmed that she had not been at the establishment for long.

The parents of a 3-year-old were arrested when the youngster was found on the roof of their residence while they were reportedly passed out after allegedly staying up all night to play video games and smoke marijuana.

According to reports, around 8:00 PM on April 9, the mother and father of two children, ages 3 and 1, checked on the youngsters before relaxing in their Glenville, West Virginia, home for the evening. They reportedly smoked marijuana and decided to play video games, and they ended up staying up all night. At some point, presumably while his parents were asleep, the 3-year-old managed to get out of his room and climb onto the roof of the dwelling. It was not reported how long the child was up there, but late the following morning, the police began receiving calls from people who saw him on the roof.

Just before noon, officers with the Glenville Police Department went to the address, and the youngster was still on the roof. The officers entered the home, but did not immediately find the parents. They reported that the house was dirty and had excrement smeared on the walls, and that they found the 1-year-old, whom they said “smelled of feces and urine.” The police reported that they went into the 3-year-old’s room, which allegedly had a lock on the outside of the door, and saw a broken window. They surmised that the youngster climbed out the window and made his way to the roof. While it was noted that the boy, who also smelled like he had soiled himself, was cold and wet because it was raining outside, there are currently no reports of physical injuries.
