Black Friday Shopper Arrested For Leaving Toddler In Car To Buy TV

Black Friday madness can strike anyone and apparently Anthony Perry is not immune!  Perry allegedly left his girlfriend’s two-year-old son alone in his parked car at 1:30 am — the day after Thanksgiving — so that he could make a mad dash into Kmart to buy a TV.  Perry was arrested and charged with child reckless endangerment, according to the Huffington Post.

Reportedly, officers had to break into the Springfield, Mass. man’s car to gain access to the little boy who had been left sleeping.  Perry went to Kmart to purchase a 51-inch television that was on sale as part of the retailer’s Black Friday specials.

Police got word of the alleged child abandonment from the store’s plaza security.  Interestingly enough, when police located Perry, he was home, along with the large-sized TV that he had purchased.  As to how the 34-year-old man-made it back to his residence with his colossal TV and sans his vehicle is still being investigated.

When officers questioned Perry, he told them, that he had taken the child with him into the store but the boy somehow got lost.  Yet, according to police, there were no missing child reports filed for the toddler.
