While inside a warm casino, playing slot machines, a Pennsylvania woman’s small children, ages 2 years and 11 months, sat alone in a cold car at the Lady Luck Casino in Pennsylvania. She is not the only parent who left children unattended while they gambled.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which oversees all aspects of gambling in the state, has been tracking numbers since the start of 2021 and believes incidents of unattended children are increasing, so they are making efforts to stop it.
