YouTube Description
as posted by the channelABC News producer Dax Tejera and his wife left their two young daughters alone in their room at a members-only Midtown club to go out with friends to a nearby steakhouse — before he suddenly collapsed and died of a heart attack, sources told The Post on Tuesday.
His widow Veronica Tejera, 33, was arrested just hours later on Dec. 23 and charged with child endangerment for leaving the girls, who are five months and two years old, unattended at the Yale Club at 50 Vanderbilt Avenue, police said.
The mom said in a statement that when her husband collapsed, she accompanied him to the hospital and asked her parents and a close friend to watch the kids — “as I monitored them by camera.”
She claimed the hotel wouldn’t allow her friend in and called the NYPD instead.
But sources said the children were left unattended for much longer while the two went out on the town at the popular Bobby Van’s Steakhouse, about a 15-minute walk from the private club, before Dax Tejera, 37, collapsed outside the eatery.
