Story summary

Irene Miller, a 50-year-old photographer from Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested on charges of child neglect after she left her four children home alone for five days while traveling to Las Vegas for work. On October 21, emergency responders were called to the family's condo when one of the children reported that their 9-year-old brother had been hit in the head by a falling dumbbell. Miller was arrested upon returning from Las Vegas on October 23 and met by deputies as she exited her flight at Orlando International Airport. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office claims that despite having a babysitter, who did not stay overnight, Miller's actions amounted to child neglect. She faces four counts of child endangerment with a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
