Police are investigating after two young children were left inside a car outside a Hialeah casino while their parents were inside early Thursday.
The children, ages four and one, were found in a car in the parking lot of the Hialeah Park Casino at 2200 E. 4th Avenue, said Hialeah Police spokesman Carl Zogby.

The kids were spotted by casino employees in the unattended car just after midnight, Zogby said

"The kids were subject to anything happening to them; they could’ve walked out of the car or someone could’ve come in, who knows what could’ve happened," Zogby said.

The parents, Tyrell Johnson and his girlfriend, Josephine Laidler, were both charged with child neglect, Zogby said.

Footage showed the man and woman being detained by police at the scene and the two young children playing with officers.
Hialeah Police and the Department of Children and Families are investigating the incident.

The children were put into the custody of their grandparents by a family court judge Thursday afternoon. If the parents bond out of jail, they are not allowed to go near the kids.

The Hialeah casino also banned the couple for life.
