2-year-old gets drunk; baby-sitter charged
Infant had bloodshot eyes, blood-alcohol level of 0.094


Updated: 11:58 p.m. ET Dec. 28, 2005
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - A 37-year-old man was charged with child endangerment after one of two toddlers he was baby-sitting was found drunk, authorities said.

Suffolk County sheriff’s deputies investigating a family court case peered through the window of a Patchogue home Tuesday and saw Juan Reyes passed out with the children wandering around the house.

They managed to rouse Reyes, who was the only adult at home with the two toddlers, ages 2 and 3, according to the sheriff’s office. The deputies said Reyes appeared extremely intoxicated.

The deputies also noticed the 2-year-old was having difficulty standing, had bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol and was lethargic.

The toddler was taken to the hospital, where tests revealed he was legally intoxicated, with a blood-alcohol content of 0.094 percent, the sheriff’s office said. In New York, a driver is considered drunk with an alcohol content of 0.08 percent or greater.

The second child was taken into the custody of Child Protective Services.

At the time, the children’s parents were at a hospital, where the mother was giving birth.

Reyes was arraigned Wednesday in First District Court in Central Islip and ordered held on $5,000 bail. He was scheduled to return to court on Jan. 3.

Robert Clifford, spokesman for the Suffolk County district attorney, said the children’s family lives at the house where the toddlers were found. Reyes also gave that as his address during his arraignment.

The district attorney’s office said Reyes was being represented by the Legal Aid Society. Calls to the society went unanswered Wednesday evening.

DONT DO IT OBI!!!!! :lol

[pache100]

but those weren't his kids.

Exactly. And if he listed their address as his in the police records, it sounds like he's been living there and intends to continue living there. If the parents allow this idiot to stay there around those children (especially a newborn), the children should be taken away from them.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I'll take care of your kids. Just buy me a case of Bud.

"he's been living there and intends to continue living there"

He was drunk because he knows the shit will hit the fan when it's learned that the lady's baby is his baby and not her husband's. :)

On the Maury Povich show?

[ShoogarBear]

Hey, maybe there's a reasonable explanation.

Like maybe the dude passed out and the little brat stole some of his hooch. :lol

As most of you know I'm the Rite Aid Photo guy and I happend to glance at the machine numerous times when the pictures come out and I see that stuff all the time. (Adults giving minors alcohol)

[Vashner]

This is why like 50% of the time the grandparents are called up for active duty again to help raise the kidz....

Trust NO one..

[Extra Stout]

In the old days it wasn't uncommon for foolish parents to mix in a little whiskey with the formula to get the baby to sleep more quickly.

The operative words here being "old days". These days, civilized people know better. Anyone who would give a baby alcohol "to get the baby to sleep more quickly" is not fit to be a parent.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Whiskey is good for toothaches

So who is going to raise the kids in Kentucky?

[Extra Stout]

Oh, and "old days" encompasses the lifetime of some of those grandparents Vashner was talking about.

I refrained from discussing this with a tremendously uneducated 77-year-old woman recently. She swore by this method.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Mothers in Jamaica make their infants a tea from marijuana leaves. puts them suckas out for hours.

Oh. Sorry, I thought you were serious. You'd be surprised how many people use allergy and cold medication to get kids to sleep, though. That's a pet peeve of mine. Benadryl is one of the most overused and misused medications on the market. I know a woman who used benadryl to get her puppy to sleep!
