The scene this weekend has become all too familiar at the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. For the sixth time this summer, a parent left their child in the car while the adult was inside the casino gambling.

Paul Vargas was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The District Judge set bail at $250,000. The charge is a misdemeanor, but could come with heavy consequences for Vargas. Previously, protective services have taken the children left in automobiles from their parents custody.

Parx Casino was warned just one week ago about their security measures to ensure that this type of activity did not continue. The casino assured gaming regulators that they were taken all the precautions necessary to keep the situation from repeating.

Almost defiant at the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's assertions, Parx now has added another incident to their resume, not exactly the type thing a casino wants to happen after giving assurances. Despite the additional incident, Parx is standing by their belief that they do enough to monitor these situations.

"Our security is top notch and constantly patrolling the parking lots to identify something like this," said Parx Spokeswoman Carrie Nolk Manelli. It is a similar statement to the one given to the Gaming Control Board last week.

The casino does ban the parents caught leaving their children in the car from ever entering the casino again. Unfortunately, the threat of expulsion has not stopped parents from following with the heinous behavior. Vargas was said to have been playing slots and table games while his seven and twelve year-old children, and a family pet pit bull, were left in the car.
