Nathalie Belizaire, a 29-year-old mother from North Miami Beach, Florida, was arrested on September 28 after allegedly leaving her four young children home alone while she went on a three-night Carnival Conquest cruise to the Bahamas. The father of one of Belizaire’s two-month-old infants noticed posts on social media about her vacation and grew concerned when he couldn't find his child at their great-grandmother's house, as promised by Belizaire. Upon visiting her apartment on September 26, he heard children talking inside but saw no sign of an adult; police were then alerted.
First responders broke into the home to discover all four children—ages ranging from two months to five years—alone and hiding in a bathroom. Belizaire was met by officers upon disembarking at the Miami port on September 28, charged with four counts of child neglect. During her court appearance via video call, Judge Mindy Glazer expressed disbelief and shock over Belizaire’s alleged actions, questioning how someone could leave children unattended for days.
