MAPLEWOOD, Minn. -- Prosecutors in Wisconsin are considering charges after a Minnesota man allegedly left his 18-month-old son in a van outside a strip club for several hours Wednesday night.

The complaint alleges the 45-year-old Maplewood man lounged inside the Cajun Club in St. Croix County while temperatures outside dipped into the low 20s.

The club's manager said a customer entering the club told staff there was a baby crying in a van outside. After finding the doors of the van locked, the manager called 911. The club made an announcement seeking the van's owner, and a man came forward. Officers were waiting outside

St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead said the boy was strapped into his car seat and was wearing socks, a jacket, and sweatpants. He was treated at a Hudson, Wis., hospital for exposure and frostbite and released.

The man was arrested on suspicion of neglect of a child -- a misdemeanor -- and booked into the county jail. The man's wife bailed him out.

The sheriff said the man had told his wife he was going to the grocery store for milk, but went directly to the strip club.

what class

ever heard of a babysitter, or the mother?

If I was his wife, I'd have left him in jail.

Time out, dude. Think about what you've done! I owe you nothing!

By the age of 45, you'd think a man would be grown enough to not go to strip clubs anyways. If i were the wife i'd be of course utterly insanely mad about the baby, and the strip club would be a whole other thing for me to be mad about.

I dont believe the divorce papers could be printed fast enough

^ You said it! I'd be pissed if my husband went to a strip club BUT I would forgive him. Leaving the baby in the car while going to the strip club? NO WAY! I'd bail him out just so I could beat the s*** out of him. The locks to the house would be changed and he'd find his stuff in a garbage bag on the front lawn.

poor baby.

Dean Winchester · 01-12-2008, 03:25 AM

if I were the wife, I'd leave his ass and also not allow him to have visitations, he shows he isn't fit to be a parent if he'll leave an infant out in a freezing car so he can watch some strippers.

Hell, he shows he's not worth hell as a husband either. If he was 45, single and childless, it'd be a different story

exactly. When you become committed to someone in a relationship/marriage, that part of your life is over and if you can't handle it, then you are not ready at all. As for the baby, i bet when he learns what his father almost killed him for, i'm sure he'll be proud to have a father like that

Some people just have no class at all.

I'd like to know why neglecting a child is only a misdemeanor.
