But the Phillies, facing another round of Philadelphia bashing, tell RadarOnline.com their fans are responsible enough to not let a child drink!

“We are confident that our employees and our fans would not allow this to happen if they were aware of it,” said a spokesperson.

The Phillies clubhouse said it has been unable to determine the identity of the child or if the bottle was full or empty, or if it had something other than beer in it.

“We suspect that this was a very brief event, probably involving an empty bottle,” added the spokesperson.

Still, a child protective services agency wants to launch a probe, as RadarOnline.com revealed.

“If the parents did allow the child to drink out of the bottle it is a pure lack of judgment and endangers the child,” said a spokesperson at the Children’s Welfare League of America.

“You don’t know at what point a child can get alcohol poisoning and it’s illegal.

“Probably if your at a game you should be sure to keep substances out of that child’s reach.”

“If we knew the child’s name then this is something we would definitely investigate although we would have to obtain more information before proceeding,” a spokesman for an officer in the Commissioner’s Action Response Office, which is part of the Department of Human Services in Philadelphia told RadarOnline.com. Since the spokesman had yet to see the video, RadarOnline.com sent the department a link to the footage.

“It is against the law and a question of parental responsibility," City Council spokesman Tony Radwanski told RadarOnline.com. “Hopefully, we can identify the adults who were with this child and find out what really happened because we do not condone this kind of behavior.

“There might be season ticket holders or other fans who can come forward and help the authorities establish who the parents are because it reflects badly on them.”

The 3rd Police District that covers Citizens Bank Park would not comment if they were investigating the incident.

RadarOnline.com spoke with licensed family therapist Dr. Bethany Marshall about her read on the situation: "I am gravely concerned that this child did not make a facial expression that would indicate disgust or surprise at the taste of the beer. This could indicate that the taste of beer is familiar for this child (which, in turn, might reveal a pattern of parental neglect). Neglect is the most common form of child abuse."

Jon was his usual very-casual self while in Hawaii, rarely venturing out of his flip flops and shorts.

He flew to Hawaii Friday, the same day lawyers for TLC decided to add Stephanie Santoro to their list of witnesses being deposed in their lawsuit against the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star.

Santoro had a brief romantic liaison with Jon and also worked as a babysitter for the Gosselin kids before Kate had her removed.

Too bad Kate didn't make it to the wedding, though. Guests had plenty of time to enjoy the sun and surf, and Kate could have tried out a new bikini or two.
