... at least once, Archie. In 1997, a 7 year old girl was kidnapped in the Primmadonna and found murdered in a bathroom.

Referring to the fact that she was taken from the casino arcade, a news report of the incident included the following:

>> The Los Angeles girl had been left there with her older brother while their father,
>> LeRoy Iverson, gambled in the early morning hours. Three times, security guards
>> said, they found the girl alone and told her father to come and get her.

The killer was caught and prosecuted. I personally think that the father should have been prosecuted as well. Unsupervised small children should never be left anywhere these days, I'm afraid, but especially not in places with substantial populations of transient adults.
