A couple from Florida is facing child neglect charges after leaving their children in a running car to attend a Luke Bryan concert.

The incident occurred over the weekend at the superstar’s concert in West Palm Beach, Florida. Courtney Blakley and Keil Sheppard were arrested after police were alerted that their two children, ages 9 and 11, were left in a running car in the parking lot. Authorities discovered the children after receiving phone calls from other fans entering the concert.

According to reports, police used the children’s cellphone to call their father. He reportedly admitted that he had left the kids there about 45 minutes prior.

When Blakley and Sheppard returned to their car, they reportedly told police that they drove more than 100 miles to attend the concert, but they did not have a babysitter. They also admitted that it was probably not the best idea to leave their children in the car.
