Two Vermont ski resort workers allegedly left their toddler alone in a frigid car while they hit the slopes.
Katelynn Brent, 21, and Cory Ahern, 29, used the chairlift at Killington Resort 10 times while their 2-year-old sat in the backseat of their car in the parking lot while temperatures dropped below freezing, police and reports said.
The couple at first denied they’d left the kid unattended on Feb. 8 but later told cops they checked on the kid after each “run” on the slopes, Kensington Police Department said in a news release this week. The couple has Killington ski passes and the resort’s management found Ahern and Brent used the loading lift gates 10 times that day, the release stated.
The car had been off while weather was windy and 28 degrees Fahrenheit that day.
Police had been tipped off to the situation and found the car in question as it was apparently leaving the resort.
Did this couple need to ski so bad, that their child had to be neglected? This is a pure case of basic selfishness and poor parenting.
Brent, who lives in Hampton, New York, was suspected of alcohol impairment and charged with DUI after a screening and breath sample was taken, cops said. Both were charged with cruelty.
Child services in Vermont and New York were notified after the arrests, cops said.
I bet they are liberals who have no morals and should not be allowed to have any children
You are absolutely nuts for spreading this lie!Keep politics out os this.
Parents that do something like this need jail time. It was cold outside, anything metal in cold weather acts like a deep freezer and makes the temperature even worse. Where in the hell is common sense for people. Jail time!!!!
This is the perfect case for “child removal” from the parents. They couldn’t find a babysitter? When you bring a baby into the world, that child becomes “Numero Uno” priority…YOUR WANTS BECOME IRRELEVANT!
They couldn’t leave it with grand parents or siblings? that’s so pathetic to do that to a child, typical garbage parents
Horrible parents! These parents should not be allowed to keep the child. They evidently do not care for it.
Hey Mike I missed the part in story where the couple’s political affiliations were revealed. How can you blame liberals for this act of incredible selfishness and neglect? These traits seem to describe conservative values.
Leave them outside for a few days this winter.
