Outrageous! John-Michael Dooley, a 35-year-old man from South Carolina, USA, left his 6-year-old daughter alone in line overnight outside a Target department store in Charleston in the early morning of the 6th in order to buy new Pokémon cards. The police immediately arrested him.

According to "NBC", the Charleston Police Department stated that Dooley originally took his daughter to queue outside a store in the West Ashley community. However, Dooley wanted to go home at about 1 a.m. on the 6th, so he gave his daughter a pillow and quilt and let her sleep alone in the queue.

It is understood that the new Pokémon cards were released on the 6th, and many Americans went to the mall to queue up all night. People at the scene were not worried when they saw Dooley leaving, but they never saw him come back. They even reported the case at 2:30 in the morning, alleging to the police that there was a girl without parents to take care of her.

When Dooley returned, he was immediately recognized by the public and directed the police to arrest him. He admitted that he left his young daughter alone in order to reserve a seat in the queue. Dooley is currently accused of inappropriate behavior with children, and his daughter is temporarily taken care of by the social welfare department.
