WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A Wichita man is in trouble after police say his two young children were found wandering along a busy street while he played video games at their home.

KAKE-TV reports (http://bit.ly/AoePop ) the children are 4 and 5 years old. Police said the younger child was nearly hit by a car Monday afternoon while they tried to cross the street near their home.

The 5-year-old showed an officer where they lived. Police say the officer smelled marijuana in the home and found the 22-year-old father playing video games, with marijuana in plain view.

The children were turned over to their mother, while the father was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and possession of marijuana. Prosecutors were studying possible charges Tuesday.
