MURRYSVILLE, Pa. - A man left his 3-year-old son alone in a van parked outside an adult bookstore, where the man spent at least 40 minutes, police said.

Construction workers near the Adult Bookstore in Murrysville called police after they noticed the child on Dec. 12, police said. Officers arrived to find the boy alone inside the locked van, police said.

John Ray Stewart Jr., 27, of Turtle Creek, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday on a single charge of child endangerment.

Stewart apologized and "stated he has an addiction to these types of stores," police said.

A woman who answered the phone at Stewart's home on Wednesday said he is not commenting on the charges.http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/16374051.htm

And people would be complaining just as much if he took the kid in with him. Damned if you, damned if you don't.

it was a locked truck, in PA. for 40 minutes. in Dec. during a heatwave winter. It wasn't like the kid was in an ice-cold truck in Minot, ND with it -30 outside. Christ.

The adult bookstore in Murrysville isn't even that good.

Having a 3 yr. old, I would be quite worried my vehicle would be hot wired by my keet in that amount of time
