A caller reports that two children, about ages 8 or 9, have been left in a red BMW in the Batavia Downs parking lot while their father -- or presumed father -- has walked into the casino.
A deputy is responding.
UPDATE 1:42 a.m.: It was a tow-truck driver who made the initial report. The driver did not initially see that mom was also in the car. All three people, mom and the two children, were sleeping under a blanket in the car.
Somehow mom AND kids sleeping
Somehow mom AND kids sleeping in a casino
parking lot at 1:30 am is OK? Someone make the call.
thats what i thought Barb --
thats what i thought Barb -- stay home with the kids to sleep
Maybe they were just passing
Maybe they were just passing through and the father looked over at them sleeping and said to self "why not stop in for a minute?"
I guess it's possible he couldn't sleep and decided to go pull some slots. Not being able to trust them home alone with his Faberge egg collection he woke them up and made them ride along and they fell asleep while waiting.
You are clever, Robert.
