David Beckham Leaves His Kids In The Car For One Hour During Spin Class!
On Thursday morning David Beckham went to spin class in Brentwood, but rather than having his nanny look after the kids, he left them waiting outside in his Range Rover -- for over an hour!
Cruz and company locked the doors to the soccer star's black SUV, and before hopping in the driver's seat, Becks told us it was fine because the air conditioning was on full blast, but this doesn't seem like the safest move. After all, it was a whopping 87 degrees in Los Angeles today! A photog on the scene tells X17online, "No one could believe what Beckham was doing. Some guys even stopped taking pictures and were just standing there, shocked."
9-year-old Cruz was sitting in the front passenger seat, and we should note that we didn't spot 15-year-old Brooklyn at the class (he usually tags along with his pops), so it's possible he was hiding in the back, but it does not appear as though there was any adult supervision, aside from the paparazzi outside.
Our photographer on the scene tells X17online exclusively:
- "David was the only man in the class, so of course all the ladies showed up during his time slot. No one seemed to mention the fact that his kids were sitting in the car out front, and one of them even defended David when we asked about it!"
We have a feeling Posh would be furious if she knew the couple's children were chilling in the car by themselves while their dad worked up a sweat --- and flirted with the ladies inside the class:

LOS ANGELES – David Beckham came under public scrutiny on Thursday after paparazzi photographs implied that he may have left his children in his black SUV for over an hour while attending a spin class in Brentwood, California.
According to X17 Online, the soccer star's 9-year-old son Cruz sat in the driver's seat of the vehicle while his dad sweated it out at the gym.
A paparazzo told the site, "No one could believe what Beckham was doing. Some guys even stopped taking pictures and were just standing there, shocked."
"It is complete lunacy to insinuate David would leave his kids in the car like that. There was a nanny and air conditioning," a spokesperson for the soccer star told FOX411. "You have to be very wary of paparazzi making these assertions to create a story when there isn't one."
But given that temperatures in Los Angeles were in the high 80s on Thursday, legal experts say the matter and alleged photographic evidence could still be investigated further.
"David could shortly find himself in court facing child endangerment charges. Even though he left the car's air conditioning on, the kids could have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning or, if one of them managed to get the car in gear, they could have been seriously injured," trial attorney David Wohl explained.
Dr. Alan Christiansen also cautioned that leaving children in cars is never a safe practice.
"Thirty-eight kids die from heat stroke every year from being unattended in cars," he said. "The air conditioning often does not work well enough to keep the car cool when the car is idling."
The temperature inside a car can heat up between 20 to 30 degrees in an hour, and the temperature inside a car can rapidly increase despite air conditioning, which becomes less effective as the outside temperature rises, he said.
"Children's' bodies heat up almost five times faster than adults making them vulnerable to hyperthermia and organ damage," added L.A-based medical professional, Dr. Shilpi Agarwal. "Unfortunately, even conscientious and careful parents often overlook this and it can have catastrophic health outcomes for children."
