Father leaves five-year-old son alone in a parking to have a drink at a nightclub
A father left his five-year-old son in a parking to get a drink with some friends at a nightclub.
According to Actu Toulouse, the father abandoned his child in the parking of the Sesquières nightclub. The boy’s cries alerted a security guard who immediately notified the police.
When the officers arrived, they asked the young boy where his father was. The child told them that his dad had gone to meet friends at the club for a drink.
The father, after picking his son up from the boy's mother, had stopped at the nightclub to retrieve something. What was meant to be a brief stop turned into a long and distressing wait for the child.
While in police custody, the father admitted to his mistake. However, the Toulouse public prosecutor’s office decided not to pursue charges against him.
“The father had left his son in the car because the child was asleep. He only planned to retrieve something and have a quick drink with a friend, which lasted about 20 minutes. He’s not a delinquent. While in custody, he broke down, fully realizing his mistake,” the public prosecutor said.
