Incredible example of child neglect/abuse!

SCOTTSDALE - His blood-alcohol level was so high that it had the effects that experts say is near surgical anesthesia. Peter Hickock was passed out at his home in Scottsdale on Sunday when his 5-year-old daughter called 911.

Hickock could face child endangerment charges, Scottsdale police said. Hickock, 40, was found unconscious and bleeding in the 7600 block of East Williams Drive, near Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads. He was transported to Scottsdale Healthcare Shea with a 0.345 percent blood-alcohol content, police said. At .35 coma is possible. Emergency responders found the only food in the house was peanut butter and bread.

The 5-year-old's mother was on vacation in Hawaii and left the girl in the custody of Hickock, according to Scottsdale Detective Sam Bailey. The parents share joint custody, although the girl is now in custody of a family friend.

That's just terrible!

No child should ever have to endure such things. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about how some people can do these things when there are innocent children involved.

this makes me so that poor child. no child should have to deal with that. I hope she is taken away and given to someone who will love her and take good care of her!

that's pretty sad...is the mother still on vacation? Was she able to be reached or does she not yet know about this?
I'm wondering why the child is with a family friend and not the mother unless she has not been able to be reached or been able to get back yet.
