Police: "Mom left newborn outside casino"

Tribune staff reports
Published February 22, 2006, 2:46 PM CST

A 24-year-old Indiana woman faces a criminal charge of child neglect after she allegedly left her 16-day-old infant and two other children in her car on one of the coldest days of the winter so far while she went into an East Chicago casino.

The baby girl required medical attention to be revived, authorities said. The air temperature at the time of the Sunday afternoon incident was 9 degrees, they said.

Keisha Lashae Clark, of Gary, was charged in connection with the incident at the Harrah's East Chicago Casino at 777 Harrahs Blvd. in the northwestern Indiana city, officials said.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Lake County, Ind., Superior Court, an East Chicago police officer responded about 1:30 p.m. to a report of small children in a parked car outside Harrah's casino.

The officer said he discovered the baby and a 7-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl in the vehicle. The two older children appeared unharmed, but the baby was unresponsive. She was taken to St. Catherine Hospital, where she was revived and then released to Indiana Child Protective Services.

Clark returned to the vehicle and told police she had left her children in the vehicle for 20 minutes at most, and had gone into the casino to find their father "to get her money he was holding before he lost it all," the affidavit stated.

The woman was arrested, charged with neglect of a dependent and assigned a $20,000 bond. If found guilty of neglect, she could be sentenced to up to three years in prison, according to the Lake County, Ind., prosecutor's office.

Fortunately the children are okay. Gambling can have hooks for some people. It's very important to not leave your children in the car in the parking lot of a casino while you run inside to do anything for any length of time, really.

Anyway, good thing the kids are alive.

Keep it safe everyone...and don't do that kinda stuff. ;)

I have shirked many responsibilities while in casinos, but I would NEVER leave MY child exposed to that kind of temperature for a chance at winning any amount of money.

And I wouldn't be with a man that would leave his family out in the car either. Not even on a good day.

That's just my 2 cents.

Young children and casino gambling don't mix! Anyone who takes their children along when going to a casino, knowing the children will have to be left in the car, is an idiot. It sounds like this woman was gone from the car for far longer than 20 minutes. Even if she was trying to save the household money, you never EVER leave your children in a car and walk away. NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTE. Much less in below-freezing temperatures.

It's just a completely unreasonable thing for anyone to do - under any circumstances. Surely the casino had staff she could approach, taking her children with her, who could find their father.

There's just no excuse for what she did.

This is really out of hand. That guy should be in a treatment center. Clearly there is a serious gambling problem with these people.
