SCCG Take — Repeated unattended-child incidents at this tribal casino require operators to tighten parking lot monitoring and rapid-response protocols to limit safety failures and regulatory exposure.
Seminole Police charged a 28-year-old Florida man with felony child neglect after casino security found an infant left alone in a running vehicle in the parking lot at Seminole Classic Casino.
The incident occurred on November 11 in Broward County at the Hollywood property located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Officers responded around 11:06 a.m. to a running 2018 BMW where the nonresponsive infant was unbuckled in a car seat.
Seminole Police broke the window to reach the child. The infant was asleep. A medical evaluation confirmed the child was unharmed even as temperatures hit 83 degrees Fahrenheit that day.
Surveillance Footage Contradicts Patron's Statement
Gregory Greg Foster of Sunrise told security he left the infant in the vehicle for about 45 minutes. Casino cameras showed Foster had entered the property more than two hours earlier and was gambling at a table game.
Seminole Classic Casino is one of six casinos owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The 73,000-square-foot venue is the oldest in the portfolio and offers over 1,000 slot machines, live dealer table games, and a sportsbook. Its surveillance network located Foster inside.
Foster faces a third-degree felony charge of child neglect without great bodily harm, punishable by up to five years in state prison. He has been ordered to have no contact with the infant. The relationship to the child was not detailed in the police report. Court records show Foster also faces an active misdemeanor traffic case from October for driving without a license and without lights at night.
Second Such Case at the Property in Less Than Two Weeks
The November 11 incident follows the arrest of Terrence Wright and Lillian Munn less than two weeks earlier. The pair were charged with felony child neglect without bodily harm after leaving three children between the ages of one and six in a non-running vehicle with windows up while they gambled.
Police reported the children had beads of sweat on their faces with no access to food, water, or a telephone. According to Casino.org News, the tribal casino in Hollywood has seen several guests recently leave children unattended in vehicles.
