Mom arrested after leaving her four kids, including an infant at home to go on 3-day cruise
A Florida woman was arrested and accused of leaving her four minor children, including an infant, alone while she went on a 3-day cruise.
The suspect, Nathalie Belizaire, 29, of North Miami Beach, is accused of four counts of child neglect without great bodily harm.
According to North Miami Beach police, the father of one of Belizaire’s children, who is 2 months old, had seen a post on her WhatsApp story on Thursday “depicting what appeared to be a cruise ticket purchase.”
That day, he spoke to Belizaire, who told him she would be dropping the children off with their great-grandmother, police said.
But when he went to her apartment Saturday night, he saw the TV on through the blinds and heard the children talking inside, which led him to call 911, an arrest report states.
Both police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and forced entry into the residence.
There, “all four minor children were discovered inside … without adult supervision and were hiding together in the bathroom,” police said.
Police said their multiple attempts to contact Belizaire were unsuccessful.
An investigation revealed that Belizaire had purchased a three-day ticket to the Bahamas aboard the Carnival Conquest with a sail date of Sept. 25.
