Florida Couple Fined and Banned After Leaving Six-Month-Old Unattended on Beach
An American couple has avoided prosecution after agreeing to fines, community service and a county-wide ban for leaving their six-month-old daughter unattended on a Florida beach. Under a deferred prosecution deal, each parent will pay a $1,000 fine, complete 25 hours of community service and attend a parenting class. They are also barred from entering Walton County, where the incident occurred. Last October, beachgoers at Miramar Beach found the infant alone under a tent while her parents walked off with their other children. Authorities warned that the baby could have suffocated or been injured and said further violations would reopen the case.
