TAMPA, Fla. -- A Florida dad is in jail, after he allegedly left his kids in a pickup truck while he visited a strip club.
Police in Tampa say Olvin Pabon paid a $20 cover at the Deja Vu bar, and spent about 20 minutes inside. A security guard outside heard crying and found the four children in the pickup truck.
Security officers and several patrons blocked Pabon's pickup truck until police arrived.
He's charged with four counts of child neglect. Pabon claims he just stopped to use the strip club's restroom and only left the children for about 10 minutes.
The kids, ranging in age from 1 to 8, are now staying with Pabon's sister-in-law.

So.... anybody think he'd have been charged if he spent 20 minutes in a grocery store instead of 20 minutes in a strip club?

Yet another "Pinhead Parent Leaves Kids In Broiling Car" story?
Talk about Deja Vu.

I wouldn't leave my teenager alone in my truck outside the shopping mall. He got off easy ... he apparently was able to walk out of the parking lot.

Out here in Montana on Hwy. 191, they opened a new "gentlemen's club" onto the back part of the Sinclair gas station. I thought this an odd combination. Obviously, so did Sinclair....all the pumps were pulled out of the ground when I drove by today.

Yeah, that'll get ya a night out with Bambi.
Say, Bob, I'm ready to take you up on that offer for a night of binge drinking and crack smoking. cough, hack
Awright, Bambi, got the boys in the truck gotta drop 'em off first"
On second thought, it might help seal the deal.

The article doesn't mention if it was day or night. But I doubt too many strip clubs charge a $20 cover for the lunch crowd.

Well yeah, maybe. You are really not supposed to leave your kids unattended for twenty minutes at a time, in motor vehicles. Plus, the article says they were crying, so I gotta think they are pretty young. Plus, please, I know men, they go anywhere, no need to leave the kids outside to go into a strip club and pay $20 (yeah, like I buy this story) to go to the bathroom.
