Man leaves toddler in car while he visits stripclub

myfoxcolorado.com — and even worse spends her dinner money on beer and club. A man accused of leaving a toddler in the car as he spent time in a Glendale strip club was arrested Saturday on charges of neglect. Police say Alan Baxter, 20, was asked by his girlfriend to take her daughter out to get a bite to eat but instead he took a detour to Shotgun Willies'

  • dougvfr750, on 05/18/2008, -9/+111I hope he gets a free pass to jail.... for being a DUMBASS
    • stevealford, on 05/18/2008, -7/+26Jail? What else would he do with the toddler? Clearly she wasn't old enough to get in and didn't have a convincing enough fake ID.

      /hopefully the sarcasm in my comment was as obvious as this guy's stupidity
    • D4rkDrago0n, on 05/18/2008, -9/+3well it wasn't.

      be more obvious next time, jeez.

        I'll do everything I can to fulfill your wish regarding obvious sarcasm from here to eternity, sir. Also, would you like me to make you a sandwich and give you a million dollars?

        ***END SARCASM STRING***

        :D Good times.

        ..wait, what? Ahhh, I see what you did there
    • krizzle, on 05/19/2008, -12/+1It was 50 out. Kid was in car for 20 min. Kid was in no danger. LAAAAAME
      • nycmac247, on 05/19/2008, -0/+3buried
      • LostnTransition, on 05/19/2008, -1/+3Sorry I have to disagree, I work about 3 blocks from this joint. And even if it was a perfect sunny day this is not a place to leave a kid. Or even leave your window down for that matter. This man should be shot, and as far as some of the people complaining that the cops bought the kid Mc Donalds the only other joint that is nearby is a Hamburger Stand. So sadly Mc'Ds is a slightly better choice even if only slightly. Besides all that Denver PD is full of a bunch of worthless cheap asses.

        In case anyone was curious...http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4 ...

        That's the joint, The fascinations right behind it is where the adult shop employee was.

      Strip Club Daddy -

      Late one night in Tulsa, at a club called “Honey Buns”
      A man pulled in the parking lot with his four-year-old son
      He said, “I’m going in, I have some ‘Daddy things’ to do
      So stay here in the car or else the monsters will eat you…”

      So Daddy grabbed some singles and he went inside the door
      The boy thought “I’ll make Daddy proud, ‘cause I’m a big boy of four”
      And although the thought of monsters made him scared, he never cried
      He just sat and watched as lots of other Daddies went inside

      After half an hour he thought, “I gotta go real bad
      But if I get pee-pee on Daddy’s leather seats, he’ll be real mad
      I know that Daddy said that all the monsters would eat me
      But I hope they’ll let me go so I can make a winkie-wee”

      He stepped out in the parking lot and ran for his young life
      To the front door of the building with the flashing blinky lights
      Once he got inside, the boy could not believe his eyes
      There were lots of Mommies there of every shape and size

      Mommies up on tables, and swinging ‘round on poles
      Most of them had lost their shirts; the boy hoped they weren’t cold
      He saw a cowboy Mommy wearing spurs and boots and chaps
      And several Daddies had some Mommies sitting in their laps

      "Can you help me?" he asked a Mommy in a Girl Scout costume
      Eventually they found his Daddy in the champagne room
      Daddy took a ride that night with two police-y men
      And little Bob Kevoian never was the same again

    • uhhNo, on 05/19/2008, -7/+10The worst thing about this story:

      "Authorities bought the child McDonalds as they waited for the mother to come and pick her up."

      Taking children to McDonalds is child abuse in my books!
      • Gir53457, on 05/19/2008, -4/+3Uhh... No.
      • unreg, on 05/19/2008, -1/+2In what way. No, seriously, explain that comment. The officers were giving comfort to a child that had been through a terrible situation. McDonalds isn't evil. McDonalds is a place you go to get food.
    • absurdist, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Anyone else wonder how long it'll be before the girlfriend takes him back because she looooooves him?
  • fitqueenb, on 05/18/2008, -10/+54This guy needs to go to jail.
    • graemee, on 05/19/2008, -1/+5and a little special attention from the inmates.
    • infinitus64, on 05/19/2008, -2/+1and sterilized
    • taradisiac, on 05/19/2008, -3/+2Is the baby injured? Then nothing happened.
    • RiverBelow, on 05/19/2008, -1/+1Why, did you ***** want him to bring the baby in and get knocked out by a tittie? This is a responsible man, idiots don't know justice.
  • domfosnz, on 05/18/2008, -19/+2Thats just shocking.
    • saxreturns, on 05/18/2008, -1/+9Yes. I am shocked. SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.
      • LuCiFer6, on 05/18/2008, -0/+2I'm not even shocked anymore by this because there's been some stories of these idiots doing things like this...
    • OrbitalFX, on 05/18/2008, -4/+4No it's not.

      America Wins!
  • chkdg8, on 05/18/2008, -3/+79Man will be made a douche bag on Digg after leaving toddler in car while he visits stripclub.
    • mciampa1214, on 05/18/2008, -2/+12He had the douchebag status covered beforehand. Digg will just accentuate his douchey-ness
    • deff, on 05/19/2008, -5/+7I would loose the title of "man", also. That ***** isn't a man. A man wouldn't neglect a toddler to get his lap rubbed up on. That guy, my friends, is a bane of society.
      • d03boy, on 05/19/2008, -6/+7Dugg down for still not knowing how to spell "lose" after years of being bugged about it, most likely. Loose is your moms vag and lose is what you do at life. Keep them straight please.
        • deff, on 05/19/2008, -1/+7Actually, no, I haven't been bugged about it by anyone. I think thats mainly because they have more import things to do in life other than correct a minor spelling mistake.

          But thanks for the correction and showing concern. You can move on now.
        • marx2k, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1@deff: important, not import
      • uhhNo, on 05/19/2008, -1/+2I'm not your friend, guy.
    • FunkyNuts, on 05/19/2008, -0/+4Man will be proven a Digg user.
    • taradisiac, on 05/19/2008, -1/+2Word. The moralfag brigade is up it their high horse already.
  • TheCash, on 05/18/2008, -4/+59"Remember... there's NO baby formula in the Champagne Room!"
    • sjbdallas, on 05/18/2008, -3/+3I can't imagine this place has a champagne room. Since he had 16 $1s left over for strippers, then it only cost him 4 bucks to for cover and a beer. Even though Dallas has more strip clubs than churches and there's plenty of competition, that $20 wouldn't last long here.
      • Maver1c, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Didn't get the Chris Rock reference did you?
        • VinceNoir, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Who is this "Chris Rock" you DIggers speak of so often. Initially I thought it was some strange reference to 30 Rock.
  • ditroia, on 05/18/2008, -2/+52This is bad, but I can't get over the name of the strip joint, 'Shotgun Willies' LOL.

    • TheCash, on 05/19/2008, -0/+4If you think thats funny, we have a joint up here in Alaska called "The Great Alaskan Bush Company." We don't do subtle up here in the Last Frontier.
    • databeast, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1I live down the roadf from this joint, it's where strippers go to die... and the big sign outside is, I kid you not, a FLACCID shotgun!

      check it out on google streetview and fear....
  • blackjack75, on 05/18/2008, -6/+161Talk about a blunder.

    If he had brought the baby in, all the strippers would be all over him and his cute baby. This guy is in serious need of a strategy lesson.

    What? If it works in the park, why wouldn't it work in a strip club?
    • Nephrastar, on 05/18/2008, -1/+36Agreed. This man should be charged for Strategic ignorance and neglect.
    • sjbdallas, on 05/18/2008, -7/+4Alternatively, he could have fed the kid first, slipped a little cough medicine into her drink and not had to worry about anyone noticing her.
    • purelithium, on 05/18/2008, -11/+2Except he wouldn't be allowed to bring the baby into the club in the first place. There are age restrictions...
      • afx1, on 05/19/2008, -0/+9according to the article not at that club
    • CTK14A, on 05/19/2008, -0/+15Babies like breasts, too. Just for different reasons than me.
      • JakeyG14, on 05/19/2008, -0/+15Babies like the milk too, dude.
        • taradisiac, on 05/19/2008, -1/+2So do I. What? Don't look at me like I'm a freak!
        • blinktude, on 05/19/2008, -1/+0Just for different reasons than me

          wait......that makes me queer
      • blackjack75, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1I don't want to ruin your sexuality but I am pretty sure the instinct that makes breasts attractive to grown men is a remain of the original one they had as a baby.

        Ok, I do want to ruin it.
    • Heavypettingzoo, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1You don't need to trick strippers into being all over you... it's kind of what they do. Have you ever been to a strip club?
  • purelithium, on 05/18/2008, -3/+62Dad?
  • amanilaenvelope, on 05/18/2008, -8/+3What!!!
    I thought strip clubs were 18 and over, not 21+...damn it.
    • cyrusthevirus, on 05/18/2008, -1/+31Depends on which state you're in. Generally, if they serve alcohol, it's 21+. But I do know of places that admit 18-21, throw a wristband on 'em or something, and charge about triple the cover.

      Also, alcohol is usually not served in fully-nude clubs. Thus, such establishments are sometimes 18+.
      • FatLoser, on 05/18/2008, -1/+11If I ever need professional counseling in the arena of strip club policies and standard operating procedures, I'll be sure to give you a shout.
  • sockpuppets, on 05/18/2008, -3/+73Boobies- the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems.
    • d03boy, on 05/19/2008, -3/+2You never know when you have a lactating stripper. If he would've brought the baby inside he could have at least used that excuse...
  • angusm, on 05/18/2008, -2/+17That has to be one of the more complicated ways of letting your girlfriend know you want to end the relationship.
  • cyrusthevirus, on 05/18/2008, -2/+93$4 for the cover and a beer?? Doesn't sound like a real high-class gentleman's club... Then again, the place IS called "Shotgun Willies'."
    • mciampa1214, on 05/18/2008, -2/+34Also, someone who leaves they're child in the car in to go into a strip club probably isn't too concerned with 'class'
    • amroc, on 05/19/2008, -0/+4What's scary, is that is probably one of the most well known bars in all of Colorado...
    • databeast, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1the place is where strippers go to die, I live down the road from it.. google it and check out the awful sign for the place on google streetmaps
  • SHuisman, on 05/18/2008, -12/+4He should have brought the kid inside the strip-club !.......wait what ?!
  • JerryAscione, on 05/18/2008, -5/+59Probably visiting the baby momma.
    • SerpentMage85, on 05/19/2008, -9/+0Read the friggin article before you try and make fun of it.

      Dude is still a retard for leaving the kid in the car, but at least come up with a good put down that's not blatantly proven wrong in the article.
  • Ocelot13, on 05/18/2008, -26/+8***** THING SUCKS!
  • HotDogBun, on 05/18/2008, -4/+26Well it;s not like he can take the kid into the club with him...
  • Mageling, on 05/18/2008, -1/+17Where else are you going to keep it?
  • Owned1Up, on 05/18/2008, -0/+16Oh come on, apparently you people haven't been to Ol' Shotgun Willies, it's practically a once in a lifetime experience.
    • subterfuge, on 05/19/2008, -1/+1yes, it's unlike anything you can get online!
  • brainboy77, on 05/18/2008, -8/+3source is fox? must really be a douche bag.
    • skyroket, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Fox Colorado is a little bit more towards the middle than the far right national whatever Bill O'Reilly people.
  • D14BL0, on 05/18/2008, -0/+14This actually happened about a year ago in Arizona, I think (or some other desert state). Same story; father leaves child in the car while he goes into a titty bar.

    What the ***** is wrong with people?
    • lamiaconfitor, on 05/19/2008, -0/+12all those desert states look the same to me...
    • MonkeyHugger, on 05/19/2008, -0/+4I know yeah. He could of at LEAST took given the baby a toy or somet to play with while he's gone...
    • thehouse, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Apparently you've never been to Shotgun Willie's.
    • skyroket, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1I blame parenting.
  • sjbdallas, on 05/18/2008, -1/+8Shotgun Willie's?
    Sounds like a gay bar or one of those themed restaurants where the staff has to stop down and do the cotton-eyed-joe every hour.
  • SevenTwo, on 05/18/2008, -5/+51He was shopping for breast milk guys, geez.
  • twiztidsinz, on 05/18/2008, -9/+17Dugg for Shotgun Willies'


    Pics or tit didn't happen.
  • smashingmonkey, on 05/18/2008, -1/+4Cars are getting really hot here in Colorado these days. That's worse than negligent.
    • FatLoser, on 05/18/2008, -2/+9Living in Colorado is neglect enough.
    • L0t3k, on 05/19/2008, -1/+1Eh, all the grown-ups inside are panting too.

  • RumaruDrathas, on 05/18/2008, -5/+6Though I do hope that the father gets a violent colonoscopy with a broom handle and minus the camera while in jail/prison, am I the only one who feels sorry for the bartender for being canned?
    • kashk5, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4Yea, I don't know why they fired him just because this guy was a douche. How was he supposed to know he left a kid behind in the car? Plus, the douchebag was 3 weeks away from turning 21, and the bouncer letting that slide isn't that uncommon.
      • girlpirate, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1did you guys miss the part where the police showed up? Bouncers and establishments can make the decision to let his age "slide" but they run the risk of getting caught. Last i checked, knowingly allowing underaged people into a stripclub is something that is looked down on by the authorities.
  • Startemus, on 05/18/2008, -2/+27If I Dugg this article does it mean I'm FOR Child Neglect?
  • panteradactyl, on 05/18/2008, -3/+16Being a fairly young dad to a little girl (23 and 3 respectively) i have to say that this ***** SICKENS me. I have made some dumb decisions, but this is just regoddamndiculous. I really hope something terrible happens to this guy sometime soon. Death would be fine with me. I know hes not the actual dad, but still...
    • miggie, on 05/19/2008, -1/+5This wasn't his money it was the kid's money. He should have gotten her something off the $1 menu then dropped at his mom or a cousin's house. Then gave the money to the strippers. I hope the girlfriend learns her lesson and goes out with a better class of man. Any of you diggers live in that area should look up the mother at least she'd have a better class of guy to date. Not that attractive but a better class.
  • Nephrastar, on 05/18/2008, -1/+20-Facepalm-

  • jmpeagle, on 05/18/2008, -2/+39wow...
    he drives his girlfriend's car with his girlfriend's toddler and with his his girlfriend's money and he has the audacity to think he deserves to go to a strip club with the FOOD money she gave him....this guy is a BUM.

  • Wootstapler, on 05/18/2008, -0/+23"Shotgun Willies is a 21-and-over bar, the person who accepted Baxter's ID even though he was 3 weeks shy of his 21st birthday was immediately fired"

    Ouch
  • lemur, on 05/18/2008, -12/+6Ah, strip clubs... profiting from the suffering, weakness, and destruction of human lives. What a vile institution.
  • Accolade1, on 05/18/2008, -11/+2His first mistake was having a kid at/before age 20.
    • jmpeagle, on 05/18/2008, -1/+5it wasn't his. It was his girlfriend's. They would have mentioned that if it was his child.
  • liuite, on 05/18/2008, -6/+3he went in there see his mama
  • mrbuzz, on 05/18/2008, -5/+10"Authorities bought the child McDonalds as they waited for the mother to come and pick her up."

    No wonder kids are getting fat....Mcdonalds is too default....
    • Skooma714, on 05/19/2008, -0/+4They can't exactly make dinner out there. They could maybe fry eggs on the engine block with a pan but it's probably easier.

      It's nice to see cops doing something other than tasering people and generally being dicks.
  • mike23w, on 05/18/2008, -1/+26"Baxter initially denied driving to the club or having a child waiting for him in the car."

    Genius!!! Except for the car and the baby in the parking lot you almost had the police fooled.
  • kelliillek, on 05/18/2008, -3/+3Oh. . .there would have been a shotgun to his willie, were that my child.

    The story doesn't state if the man was actually the girl's father. I would NEVER trust a 20 year old, or anyone for that matter, who wasn't the father, anyway! The mother must have been a real class act, herself.

  • fr3ddie, on 05/18/2008, -1/+4the real question here is.... did he leave the AC on?
    • EpicSelekta, on 05/19/2008, -0/+5It was in the mid-50s, which I'm pretty sure is Fahrenheit given that the source is in Colorado.

    • uberduger, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1I'm sure there's some fantastic reality TV in there somewhere - go see stupid people, tell us their story while we laugh at how dumb it is, then give them a giant rubber phallus trophy with 'moron' written down the shaft.
  • Iamien, on 05/19/2008, -1/+3What did that guy's girlfriend see in him? How many other times has he let the toddler go hungry.... imagine. I say they deprive him of food.
  • CarnivalOfDust, on 05/19/2008, -1/+120-21 now. So that means... That means.... WAIT! This guy used to play Tetris on the GameBoy! Quick, Fox, let's get blamin'.
    • uberduger, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Bet they haven't searched his place for a GB yet. That game was a veritable 'take-your-wife's-money-and-leave-the-baby-in-the-car-while-you-go-throw-back-a-few-cold-ones-at-Shotgun-Willie's' simulator, if I remember correctly.
    • senatorpjt, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Game Boy? I'm 30, and the Game Boy was relatively new when I was 14. (just because I remember playing it as a freshman in high school)
