A Florida mother was arrested after allegedly leaving her 12-year-old
daughter alone at a bar in Universal CityWalk while she went drinking
elsewhere, officials said. 

Amanda Thorpe, 33, of Lake Mary, was charged with child neglect after
allegedly leaving her daughter behind to go drinking at another bar,
according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. 

Deputies responded to the CW Shoreline Bar around 10:30 p.m. Saturday
after receiving a report of a missing 12-year-old girl who had been left
behind, authorities said. 

According to the arrest affidavit, deputies found Thorpe’s daughter
"visibly upset, crying, and sitting alone on a bar stool by the bar." 

Officials said someone at the bar made a comment that upset Thorpe,
prompting her to leave and go to another bar along CityWalk. 

The affidavit states that when Thorpe’s daughter said she wanted to
return to the hotel because she was tired, Thorpe became "livid,"
"displayed the middle finger, said, ‘F--- you,’" and left the bar
without her daughter. 

Deputies later found Thorpe alone on the dance floor at the Red Coconut
Club with an alcoholic beverage, police said. 

According to the affidavit, Thorpe told deputies she did not realize her
daughter was missing and "believed that she was with her the whole
time." 

Thorpe later claimed her daughter was in the hotel room and not at
CityWalk, the affidavit states. 

Deputies said Thorpe had bloodshot eyes, was swaying and unsteady, and
had a fruity odor on her breath, according to the report. 

The girl’s grandfather later picked her up, authorities said.

Thorpe was released on a $2,500 cash bond. She has pleaded not guilty to
the charge. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Thorpe’s attorney for comment.
