Story summary

Irene Miller, a 50-year-old professional photographer from Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested last week by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office after leaving her four children home alone while on a work trip to Las Vegas. Emergency responders were called when one of the children reported that the 9-year-old brother had been hit in the head by a falling dumbbell. The incident occurred around October 27, following Miller's departure on October 18 for a five-day business trip. Upon her return and investigation, authorities found that Miller had no adult supervision for her kids aged 9, 11, 12, and 14 during the period she was away. She claimed to have hired a babysitter who would only be present before and after school but not overnight or over weekends. The sheriff’s office emphasized that child neglect is not tolerated in their jurisdiction.
