Man Leaves Toddler In Van, Goes To Strip Club

MAPLEWOOD, Minn. -- Prosecutors in Wisconsin are considering charges after a Twin Cities man allegedly left his 1½-year-old son in a van outside a strip club for several hours.

The complaint alleged the 45-year-old Maplewood man lounged inside the Cajun Club in St. Croix County while temperatures outside dipped into the low 20s.

The club's manager said a customer entering the club told staff there was a baby crying in a van outside. After finding the doors of the van locked, the manager called 911.

The club made an announcement seeking the van's owner, and a man came forward. Officers were waiting outside.

St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead said the boy was strapped into his car seat and was wearing socks, a jacket, and sweat pants. He was treated at a Hudson, Wis., hospital for exposure and frostbite and released.

The man was arrested on suspicion of neglect of a child -- a misdemeanor -- and booked into the county jail. The man's wife bailed him out.

The sheriff said the man had told his wife he was going to the grocery store for milk but went directly to the strip club.

:lol What a dumbass..

That's some special shit right there.

What a f-ing dumbass!

I told PNUT he needs to keep it on the down low..

If we allowe Darwin's theory to work, rahter than coddling everyone, this guy might've removed himself from the gene pool before he reproduced.

That kid's going to have some life.

One of my colleagues pointed out how fortunate it is for the kid that it's winter. If this had happened in summer he'd be dead of heat stroke. What a sick freak that father is.

What's even more retarded was that his act was only a misdemeanor and his wife bailed him out. I would have left his a$$ in jail and pressed charges against him myself, then filed for divorce.
