FLORIDA: A 4-year-old was found inside a car all alone while the child's parents were enjoying themselves inside a strip club.

The mother of the child told the police that her husband wanted to look at the girls, so they left their child inside the car in the strip club's parking lot, reports Daily Mail.

Witnesses told the daily that the parents, both 25, were seen ordering drinks and tipping entertainers inside the club.

The child's dad apparently even sponsored his own private lap dance, deputies told Tampa Bay Online.

While the wife said they planned to spend only about 20 minutes inside the joint, the police claim the couple were inside for an hour already when the officials went inside to look for them.

Someone tipped off the police after some people heard reports of the child asking for the weherabout of the parents.


A Fort Myers man is facing charges after deputies said he left his toddler in the car while he went into a Tampa strip club.

Edward Condry Jr., 25, was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with child neglect.

According to reports, the manager of Emperor's Gentlemen's Club was walking between two buildings at 2 a.m. when his attention was drawn to a 2012 silver Dodge Avenger in the parking lot.

Deputies said the manager could hear someone crying, and when he went to investigate, he realized a toddler was inside the vehicle. At that point, the manager called police.

Investigators said the manager told them the child had been left unattended inside the car for about 45 minutes. Condry was found inside the club, talking to dancers, deputies said.

Police arrived and arrested Condry for child neglect. He was taken to jail. Bond was set at $2,000.
