A Florida mother’s work trip to Las Vegas ended with deputies waiting to arrest her at the airport. Authorities say Irene Miller left her four children, ages 9 to 14, home without overnight adult supervision. One child later called 911 after her 9-year-old brother suffered a head injury involving a dumbbell. Miller told deputies she arranged for a babysitter to check on the children, but the sitter did not stay overnight. She now faces four counts of child neglect.

If a 14 year old cant baby sit his siblings but a unknown person can and that is an offence that is totally fucked.

Kissimmee is right next door to me in Poinciana, so this one hits close. Deputies say four kids, 9 to 14, were home alone for days until a dumbbell landed on the 9-year-old's head and his sister had to call 911. A sitter stopping by in the mornings isn't supervision. Work trips happen, but if you can't line up an adult overnight, you don't get on the plane.

Mother might lose her job over these ridiculous charges. Capitalism is not supposed to work this way. It is as if having children has become a bad thing.

Uhhh... the 14yr old is able to babysit for a few days. How is that neglect?

If they can train a dolphin to play basketball then a 14 year old can be trained to watch the house while their mother is working. Just my opinion.

Can't wait until FOX remakes 'Home Alone' and Kevin McCallister's parents get sent to jail.

I started babysitting for pay when I was twelve years old. Who gets to decide when a teenager is old/mature/responsible enough to be left in charge at home?

Oh! So kids call 911 and cops come and take their hardworking single mother from them. Those who wrote and those who enforce those rules are complete nutjobs really.

If she wanted support from liberal women on this she should have murdered the kids instead.

Leaving four underage kids home alone sounds terrible! She didn't really fulfill her duties as a mother

I don't see the problem. I watched kids overnight younger than that. I need more information. How long was she gone, did they have another adult they could call for help, was she checking in every day, were they going to school on time, was the place clean and safe, was there food, did they have money, was this something the 14 year old asked to do or something they were forced to do? So many questions.

What 14 year old needs a babysitter? I was home alone since 11 and even felt insulted that it took that long. My parents asked if I was going to be ok the first time and I told them, I feel like I can babysit you.

Children are not a part time responsibility you can just walk away from when ever you want, that includes the "babysitter who also abandoned those children every day!!! Both of them should be held accountable!!

Leaving 4 kids home alone for a Vegas trip is a bold strategy. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but apparently the cops meet you at the gate. These privileged women are out of control.

A work trip should never come at the expense of children's safety. Kids aged 9 to 14 still need responsible adult supervision, especially overnight. Their safety must come first. 💔

multiple women have been doing this, leaving their children unattended - this is the peak of feminism and women’s rights

what an idiot. If her business can afford to fly her to Vegas, she can afford a sitter
