A Huntingdon Valley father who left his 6-year-old daughter alone in a parked car while he gambled inside Parx Casino must complete a parenting class and perform 25 hours of community service.

Michael Roytman, 25, pleaded guilty Monday before Bucks County Judge Theodore Fritsch in Doylestown to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to one year of probation.

Roytman admitted that he left the child in his car for about 25 minutes on July 30. Police were called to the Bensalem casino about 1:40 p.m after patrons reported that a small child was in the parking lot crying. Roytman came back to his car shortly after officers arrived and was cooperative, prosecutors said.

In court Monday, Roytman apologized for the crime.

"I love my daughter very much. This kills me," he said.

As part of the sentence, Fritsch fined Roytman $500 and banned him from the casino for the length of his probationary sentence.
