A 9-month-old baby girl was left alone in a parked car while her father decided to go to a strip club.

On a Wednesday afternoon in Southern California, people near a strip club parking lot noticed a baby girl alone in the car crying. According to NBC Philadelphia, LAPD was immediately called which is something any rational person would do upon seeing a BABY left alone in a car.

Mind you, in South Jersey alone it reached over 70 degrees, so imagine in Southern California.

The father reportedly rushed out attempting to take the baby before police arrived, claiming he 'wasn't thinking.' Well, he definitely wasn't! What kind of father leaves his child alone in a car TO GO TO A STRIP CLUB?

Luckily these kind passers-by did not release the daughter to him and waited for police to arrive.

Because of this father's stupid decision, the baby suffered from mild dehydration. Since then she has been placed in Child Protective Services.

I don't know what was going through this man's mind, especially with so many reports about babies dying due to being left alone in cars. VERY poor judgment on his part.
