GREENFIELD, WI -- Two adults have been charged with three counts of child neglect each after they left the three children in their care in an unattended car outside the Greenfield Olive Garden in nighttime freezing weather.

According to their criminal complaint, Lizbeth Guzman-Peralta and Nelson Santizo-Barrera left children aged 6 years old, 5 years old and 4 months old in their locked vehicle in the Olive Garden Parking lot for just over a half-hour in 31-degree weather. Police arrived at the Greenfield Olive Garden just before 8 p.m. on Nov. 20 on a report that three children were left in an unattended vehicle.

When police arrived, they learned that a passerby took the children inside of the restaurant and called police. While waiting for law enforcement to arrive on scene, the staff at Olive Garden helped in taking care of these three children. The staff fed the children and changed the baby's diaper, the criminal complaint stated. About 10 minutes after police arrived, Guzman Peralta and Santizo-Barrera reportedly arrived back on scene, only to discover that police were there and that restaurant staff had taken care of their children in the short term.

A wait and then an argument According to the complaint, Guzman-Peralta and Santizo-Barrera arrived at the Olive Garden that night with their children for dinner when they learned it would be a 20 minute wait for a table.

The complaint states that they all went back to their car - which did not have a functional heater - to wait.

While waiting for a table, the two adults got into an argument outside of the vehicle. Santizo-Barrera pushed Guzman-Peralta during this argument and then went inside of the Olive Garden. Guzman-Peralta followed him after a few

minutes, the complaint states.

Guzman-Peralta said that she left the Olive Garden after five minutes to be with her children for approximately 30 minutes. After that, she went back into the Olive Garden, trying to get Santizo-Barrera to leave, for approximately 3-5 more minutes, the complaint states. According to the complaint, Santizo-Barrera then left with her and they continued to argue, which turned physical, in front of the vehicle where their children were located.
