[tericared]

 

FALL RIVER, Mass. – Massachusetts police say a man locked his two young sons in the trunk of his car while he ran an errand.

Fall River police say Michael Monahan put his kids, ages 3 and 6, in the trunk of his Pontiac Trans Am for several minutes Tuesday morning while he went inside a sailing shop.

According to court records, Monahan told investigators the boys like to play in the trunk.

The 35-year-old Monahan pleaded not guilty Wednesday to assault and reckless endangerment of a child. He was released on cash bail.

A broadcast from WPRI-TV showed Monahan's attorney telling a judge that his client loves his children.

The children are in the custody of their mother.

Not that it matters, but what kind of car was it?  And what kind of idiot does that and thinks that its okay and that he won't get in trouble??  Jail - maybe not, I don't think that helps stuipidity.  Maybe a parenting class or a good swift kick upside the head.
