By launchpoker, Jul 21, 2007

A man in Jacksonville, Florida has been charged with child neglect after he reportedly left his two sons in his car while he went into a casino to play poker. Terrence Bowman Davis, 36, entered the poker room at St. Johns Greyhound Park to play a few hands of poker. He left his 3-year-old and 7-year-old sons in a locked care with the engine and the air conditioning running, who were spotted by a passerby, who then alerted authorities. The children were unharmed and the father has expressed remorse. His case will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office.
