Judge orders Hampton to stay away from children
A woman has been ordered to stay away from children following an incident where a child in her care was caught drinking alcohol at a gas station.
Police arrested and charged 26-year-old Victoria Hampton of Hanover Township, with endangering a child and contributing to the delinquency of a child.
A 6-year-old boy who was in Hampton’s care was spotted inside a gas station consuming alcohol last Friday.
The incident was all caught on camera.
A gas station employee noticed the child and asked him, what he was drinking.
"He's drinking a beer in the parking lot. My coworker was like, 'Is he drinking a beer?' I turn and look and am like, 'Oh, he is,'" employee Olivia Eversole said.
It's not clear if she is the child's mother.
Hampton first appeared in court Wednesday afternoon.
The judge transferred the case to juvenile court, where it will now be prosecuted.
Hampton’s bond was set at $5,000.
She is scheduled to be back in Butler County Juvenile Court on Monday morning.
