MINNEAPOLIS — A 14-year-old boy was arrested after his 3-year-old sister was found passed out drunk from hard liquor at a home, police said.
The girl was unconscious when she was taken to a hospital after her sister called police Monday night, police spokesman Lt. Greg Reinhardt said. "The child could have easily died," he said.
She was recovering and had been released to a children's home by Wednesday morning.
The girl's teenage brother was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of child endangerment, Reinhardt said. He said neglect or abuse appeared to have caused the girl's condition, rather than accidental alcohol poisoning.
Police would not release further details on the boy and any court proceedings because he is a juvenile

that's how I started
I find it interesting that they don't mention the parent(s) at all. A 14 year old could babysit, so the fact he was home w/ the sister without the parents isn't a big deal. The fact that the child was released to a "childrens home" and that neglect or abuse is blamed for the girls condition may indicate there is something more going on.
I had the same thought Martin, but ended up trying to be funny instead
It just goes to show that your not getting the news if you only read the headlines.
I did laugh when I saw your comment, Peter.
I did find the ABC article on this, thanks Fark, and it really didn't say anything about the mother other than she wasn't home at the time. I kind of assumed that anyway.
Fark?
Does the question mark mean you're surprised I found it on Fark or are you asking what Fark is. If it's the latter, Fark is one of the best sites around, has been for years, IMO.If you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and point your browser to Fark.com. You'll be glad you did.
thanks Mike, I had no idea it was even around...
my pleasure. always happy to spread the fark. the photoshop contests are fucking hilarious. sometimes they're a little pernicious, but funny never the less. There are some talented folks out there armed with a wicked sense of humor and a lot of time to photoshop shit.
what is "bawls" martin?
Bawls is a drink. pretty much like Red Bull, but it tastes better.
