Parents Caught Clubbing, Children Asleep in Car
A mother and father in Nox Bar, Washington are facing child endangerment charges after leaving their children in the car while partying at a local nightclub.
The children–a boy and girl–ages five and three, respectively, were found by off-duty police officers in the back of their parents’ car with the windows rolled up and the sunroof open.
While responding to a call about an altercation, officers discovered one man in the group possessed a gun, and another gun and a ski mask in the back seat of a car. This sparked further investigation of vehicles in the area. When the children were found Wednesday morning, they were hungry but otherwise unharmed. The parents were identified as Misty Robinson, 34, and Alvin Degar, 30–the children’s stepfather. Both were jailed with charges of child endangerment pending. Family members are still questioning why Robinson and Degar did not reach out for help with child care
