Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood shared his angst withFox 35 Orlando.
'It just boggles my mind that you would drive here and get obliterated and allow a 5- and a 7-year-old to wander off,' he said.
'When we wonder what we see, why kids are the way they are, you gotta take a step back and look at who's in charge.
And clearly, these two clowns shouldn't be in charge of ... they can't be in charge of themselves, let alone a five-year-old or a seven-year-old,' he said.
