I can still remember being left in the car for a couple of hours when I was a little kid. Well, maybe it wasn't that long, but at the time it sure seemed like a long time.
I was probably 6 or 7 years old, maybe even 8, so I really wasn't a child. I was with my Dad and he stopped at this bar, and told me to wait in the car for him. He said he wouldn't be long. Well, I waited and waited. He never came out. I still can remember what bar it was. Finally he comes out. He said he got started in a pool game. Probably had a few drinks too. Funny I never thought of that until this thread.
Mouthbreathers.
Casinos prey on the poor, and the idiots who all want to "strike it big". My local joint used to charge a fee to cash a check, unless it was a government issued check (SSI). Now they charge a fee for that as well.
I'm not a nanny-state person either, and I believe every grown adult has the right to make their own choices. But I'd liken that to leaving your kid in the car to run inside a drug den and buy your fix. You're exposing a child to casinos, like it's an everyday thing.
I'm sure security did nothing.
But your Mom wasn't with you. I got left in the car at the grocery store as my Mom shopped. I am sure I got left in the car often but this one was memorable. I was in no danger as I was old enough to not get roasted in the heat. I would know to roll down a window or something. A lady comes out of the grocery store and panicked or something leaving her foot on the accelerator drove a semi-circle around the parked car driving through every parked car in her path. She was intoxicated. Cars were built like tanks back then but she had no problem destroying the 6 nearest cars to the car I was in at a speed of 10 MPH. She didn't stop until she piled cars up in front of her. I had no trouble entertaining myself but it made the rest of the wait more interesting.
The kids probably had no idea what parking lot they were in.
Exactly. Without the mother it was a crime. With the mother the kids are under their parents guidance. I have reported similar things to security and they did nothing. But I didn't address the situation in the car to know the children were supervised.
I think people like you should mind your own business! No one has committed a crime, yet you think you should talk to security and try and cause a problem. You have no idea if this was a sick gambler or maybe a SICK person, that just had to use the washroom, but either way it none of your business.
I not sure if you are the town idiot on this forum, but you sure have my vote. There is a big difference between leaving a small child in a car by themselves, and leaving a mother and child in a car! If you can't see the difference , which is apparent that you can't! Then you should commit yourself to a hospital asap. Mind your nose in your own business, and keep it out of other people's business, especially when they have done nothing wrong, you aahole !
