Growing Number Of Floridians Leave Their Kids Unattended While They Party At Strip Clubs

[Initech]

Caraway was arrested and taken to Volusia County Branch Jail, but he's just a drop in the alleged bad dad bucket:

There's Kenneth Rowe, 26, who was reportedly wasted when he walked into a Daytona Beach liquor store and asked the clerk to watch his baby boy. Then he allegedly went next door to the Shark Lounge for a lap dance or two.

Elluit Gonzalez, a 38-year-old from Orlando, is accused of leaving his sleeping 7-year-old daughter inside a car while he visited the Diamond Club, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Former NFLer Monty Ray Grow allegedly left his 3-year-old daughter in the car, unattended, while he partied at Diamond Dolls in Clearwater. He was arrested on a child abuse charge. The child was uninjured.

Strippers do it too! Brittany Roman, 21, allegedly left her little boy to walk around their hotel lobby while she danced at the Diamond Club in Orlando, the Sun Sentinel reports.

1. Not that it isn't

Irresponsible and wrong, but I do see a major difference between leaving your child to go out to a strip club versus leaving your child to go work at said strip club.

Sort of like that mother who left her kids in the car while she went to work at a grocery store. Daycare is often more money than a family can bring in, which makes working impossible. You shouldn't leave little ones home alone while you work, but I can understand the desperation of the situation.

On the other hand, leaving your kids unattended to go clubbing is insane.

2. some people really suck

it is horrible what some kids go through.

I thought that I had it in me to make dark humor jokes and laugh at morbid things. But your post has helped me find my limit. I know there is a casey anthony joke in here but I just can't bear to think about it.

3. Turn the clock back forty years and replace "strip club" with "bar" and it was no big deal.

My dad did it all the time. I played in the parking lot with other kids while our parents were inside and even made a couple of long-term friends.

I'm not saying that it was OK then or now, but it certainly wasn't unusual.
