Victim(s)
Male age 2, currently staying with a relative.Details
A concerned Ho Chunk Gaming private security officer called for the MPD last Friday morning after discovering a 2-year old child had been left alone in a car parked at the tribe’s Evan Acres Rd. gambling facility. The passenger window had been left down while the man who left the toddler unattended was inside. He gave police a fake name, said he was there to meet up with the child’s mother, and that he had only been at Ho Chunk a short while. The officer told him there was actually surveillance video showing his arrival time. The man then upped his time frame to about two hours, since he parked the car. He also admitted he was not actually there to meet up with the child’s mother. That would have been impossible. She is currently incarcerated in another county. He said he and the child’s mother – with whom he has a relationship - are homeless, living out of the car, and that he was gambling to try to make some money so he and the young boy could eat. Ho Chunk staff brought the child - who appeared to be healthy - a lunch consisting of a hotdog, some chips, part of a cookie, and chocolate milk. A family member came to pick him up, while the suspect was taken to jail.Released 06/04/2012 at 12:57 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
