Children Unattended in Cars
Nationwide, police have investigated other incidents of adults leaving children in cars at casinos.
For instance, in April, a 43-year-old Florida doctor allegedly left two kids unattended in a locked car at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood.
Dr. Marieny Elena Guimera-Revelo was facing two charges of neglect after she allegedly left the two children unsupervised. The children were three- and 11-years-old.
Prosecutors claim she was at a poker table in the casino for at least 12 minutes, according to WBBH, a local TV station. In total, she was in the casino for about an hour, police said.
The high temperature in Hollywood that day was about 91 degrees, according to AccuWeather. It was unknown if the air conditioning was operating in the car.
Also, in March 2020, a three-year-old autistic boy was left in a locked, unheated car for a half hour while his father went into Lincoln, R.I.’s Twin River gaming venue to place sports bets, state police claimed. The temperature was in the mid-30s on the windy winter’s day.
The father, identified by state police as Mitchell Cuevas, 38, of Providence, was arrested for cruelty to or neglect of a child, and obstructing an officer in the execution of duty. It was unclear how the case was adjudicated.
Dogs At Risk, Too
