Three children were left alone<\/a> in a car parked at Canada\u2019s<\/a> Pickering Casino Resort<\/a> for about four hours on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

At one point, the kids decided to leave the lot where the vehicle was parked. They were found playing on a street close to the Pickering, Ontario gaming property.<\/p>\n

When security guards approached the children, one of them told them that their mothers had gone into the casino.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the women handed the kids a cell phone but local police officers checked the phone only to find out there was no charge left.<\/p>\n

The children are 10, nine, and two years old. No names were released by police.<\/p>\n

The two-year-old belonged to one of the women and the older children to the other, according to the Toronto City News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived at the casino after they were alerted about the unsupervised children.<\/p>\n

The police launched an investigation and viewed casino surveillance video showing the kids had been alone for over four hours.<\/p>\n

Arrests<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Durham Regional Police officers arrested both mothers. Each was charged with leaving a child unattended.<\/p>\n

\n

One woman is a 39-year-old Aurora, Ontario resident who is the parent to the older kids. The other is a 41-year-old woman from Markham, Ontario, who is the parent of a toddler. Neither woman was named by the police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Children\u2019s Aid Society was told about the incident. None of the children appear to have been injured.<\/p>\n

Similar incidents have taken place in the United States. Parents were arrested in those incidents for leaving their children unattended while the adults went into the gaming properties to gamble.<\/p>\n

Joliet Casino Visitor Arrested<\/h2>\n

A woman was apprehended last week after she allegedly took a firearm<\/a> into the Harrah\u2019s Joliet Casino<\/a> in Illinois.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Elizabeth Brothers, 61, of Boaz, Ala., was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of ammunition, according to Patch<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was released on a promise to appear in court.<\/p>\n

\n

Last Thursday, Joliet police officers were alerted that casino security guards discovered a woman, later found to be Brothers, with a gun in her possession. Brothers had walked into the gaming property and were trying to enter the gaming floor. The entrance stopped her after a metal detector sounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Brothers has a permit for the firearm, which is valid in Alabama, but the gun permit doesn’t apply to gun owners while in Illinois, police officers told Patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
