Man Leaves Baby In Car To Visit Strip Club

On Wednesday night, a Maplewood, MN father took his 18-month-old son, and told his wife he was going out to buy milk.
Somewhere on the way, he seems to have changed his mind, because he never brought any milk. Instead, he drove over the state line to Wisconsin and to the Cajun Club Strip Club. He left his sleeping son in the car in freezing temperatures for over three hours.
Fortunately not all the patrons were that irresponsible. One of them noticed the sleeping baby and dialed 911. Police and Paramedics removed the baby from the car, and running a check on the license, identified the owner.
The baby was taken to hospital suffering from frostbite, and the father was arrested in the club for misdemeanor child neglect. The county attorney is considering filing felony charges.
The baby was still hospitalized on Thursday morning.
Amazingly, the baby’s mother, the man’s girlfriend, bailed him out.
If my husband had done the same thing, I’d be leaving him to rot. Do you think she did the right thing for the father of her child, or is it taking “stand by your man” too far?

I suspect she knew he wasn’t getting any milk, and that he is an abuser. That is, I suspect he is a domestic violence offender, and the girlfriend is in a desperate situation with no idea how to get out. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out one day that he has killed both the baby and the girlfriend, or at least one of them. I hope they do decide he can be charged with a felony, and hopefully he gets convicted. She might be able to get away during his prison time if that happens (if he doesn’t kill her before he goes to prison). Very sad. I certainly hope I’m wrong about the severity of the situation.
