Parents Arrested For Leaving Toddler Home Alone To Play ‘Pokémon Go’

If you absolutely had no other choice in life than to abandon your child at home, we’d hope it’s for a true emergency… not like the selfish and foolish reason that landed one Arizona couple in jail.

Twenty-seven-year-old Brent Daley and his wife, 25-year-old Brianna are in hot water with local police after a neighbor found their 2-year-old son home alone to do something that the sheriff told ABC 11 was “beyond comprehension.” Much like this shocking story of a baby found in the road, the Daley’s young son was left alone for a very disturbing reason.

The Pinal County sheriff’s office said the Phoenix couple left the toddler home alone, wearing nothing but a diaper and T-shirt, so they could chase characters for the wildly popular Pokemon Go gaming app.

Police arrived around 10:30 p.m. to find the baby boy crying and screaming for his parents outside their home. The front door was left open and temperatures were still around 100 degrees, according to Fox 10.

The Daleys, who claimed they had originally left home to get gas, before admitting to their wild Pokemon Go chase. They have been accused of child neglect and child endangerment, and their son has been turned over to the state’s child-protection agency.

The popular game has cause a lot of concern with police, who fear for people’s safety while playing it, but that putting the game before a child is a new low.

“We never would have imagined that parents would abandon a child to play ‘Pokemon Go,'” he said. “This goes beyond comprehension.”
