"Police: Parents left children in car at Foxwoods" by Michele Morgan Bolton, Globe Correspondent | June 12, 2010
The parents of a 1-year-old and a 10-year-old from Dedham and Milton were arraigned yesterday on child endangerment charges after police say they left the children alone in a car in a Foxwoods Resort Casino parking garage while they were inside gambling....
Lieutenant Paul Vance, chief spokesman for the Connecticut State Police, said video surveillance and gambling records showed Augustin and Louissaint were in the resort for well over an hour. State Police from Troop E in Montville were summoned to the Grand Pequot VIP garage after receiving a report that the children had been left there, officials said.
“We have a very strict law relative to this sort of thing,’’ Vance said. “People think they can leave their kids in hotel rooms or otherwise unattended. But that is a big no-no in Connecticut.’’
*******The couple’s children were turned over to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, police said.
