Baltimore couple arrested after 2-year-old child found alone in South Beach

A Baltimore couple was arrested in Miami after their two-year-old son was found alone on South Beach while the two were having fun at a nearby strip club.

Miami Beach Police (MBPD) later found three more children in the room the couple had rented on Ocean Drive.

The parents, Daryl Lamont Lentz, 40, and Ciera Hurd, 36, were arrested on September 10 and face four counts of child neglect.

The couple came to Vice City to celebrate Lentz's 40th birthday.

According to authorities, Hurd said Lentz asked her to go to the club with him.

As a result, they left their children, Kevin McCallister-style, alone in the room and left the door unlocked.

Hurd said she and Lentz were “participating in a celebration with co-workers” at Club Madonna, a strip club in the area.

The police report states that a passerby saw the two-year-old wandering around a fenced-in yard area and crying for her mother and called the police.

The child was found by MBPD. Shortly thereafter, they arrived at the family's room and found the door unlocked.

Lentz told police the children were alone for only 30 minutes. He said he told their 12-year-old son to lock the door.

Hurd stated that all the children were asleep when they left for Club Maddona.

After a preliminary investigation, MBPD confirmed that the children were alone for over three hours.

The parents were taken to prison and later released.

The clubbing couple is scheduled to appear in court in Miami-Dade on October 10.
