Father of the Year Candidate Santos Barillas Leaves 2 Year Old Daughter in Truck While He Frequented a Strip Club

What, did you expect him to bring the child in the strip club?

24 year old Santos Barillas won’t be receiving any votes any time soon for Father of the Year. Then again, maybe he will seeing that former winners were Bill Clinton and Jon Edwards. According to the LA Times, Barillas left his two year old daughter in his truck while he inside a strip club to drink. Oh, and it was a cold truck, as if that matters. What, did you want him to leave the engine and heat running so the child could have died of carbon monoxide poisoning? Wasn’t the abandonment in the vehicle is bad enough? I am going to go out on a limb and guess he went into the club to do a tad bit more than drink. When the police arrived, both the father and daughter were asleep in the truck. Barillas was allegedly intoxicated at the time of his arrest. Barillas faces several charges, including child endangerment.
