CHILD NEGLECT: Couple Allegedly Leaves Kids At Hotel

A Tama County man and woman are facing charges for allegedly abandoning two children at a Minnesota hotel.

Bloomington police say 18-year old Alexah Mauskemo left her six and one-year old nieces alone at the hotel while she and 39-year old Douglas Cadotte went to a strip club and casino.

The children were found wondering the halls at the hotel.

Their hotel room was littered with bottles and dirty diapers.

Mauskemo is charged with child neglect and Cadotte is charged with felony drug possession.
