A Florida mom was arrested and charged with child neglect after she left her four kids home alone for nearly three days while she was in Las Vegas, the local sheriff reported Monday.Irene Miller was busted after a dispatcher received a 911 call on Oct.21 from one of the kids in the Kissimmee home who reported “that her 9-year-old brother had been injured by a dumbbell that fell on his head,” the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.When the deputies arrived at the residence, they found four children ages 14, 12, 11 and 9 — and no adults watching over them.While paramedics took the injured boy to a nearby hospital for treatment of what turned out to be an apparently minor injury, the deputies tracked Miller down by telephone.“She told the deputy that she was working in Las Vegas and would return on October 23, 2026,” the sheriff’s statement said.
“Deputies learned that Mrs.Miller had left for Las Vegas on October 18, 2026.”Miller, according to the statement, told deputies that she had a babysitter coming from Tampa in the mornings to get the children ready for school and to check on them after school.
Kissimmee is located near Orlando and about 70 miles east of Tampa.For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSAs Tennessee manhunt continues, sister of escaped murderer’s victim warns ‘he will kill somebody’FOR SUBSCRIBERS2026 midterms become most expensive election cycle everFOR SUBSCRIBERSCDC warns of rising threat of drug-resistant germs, which kill 50,000 people per yearFOR SUBSCRIBERSTrump calls Brazil’s election ‘rigged’ as allies stoke fraud fears ahead of midtermsFOR SUBSCRIBERSWhat Americans think of Trump’s $500 ‘refund’ checks — and how they’re spending themFOR SUBSCRIBERSCould Trump be the Republican president to lose Texas?
