Mom Arrested for Leaving 4 Kids — ages 9 to 14 — Home Alone During Work Trip to Vegas

A Florida photographer’s child was allegedly hit in the head by a falling dumbbell after the mom ditched her four kids at home alone for days while on a work trip to Las Vegas, according to authorities.

Irene Miller, 50, was cuffed last week after emergency responders arrived at her home in Kissimmee, Fla., for a 911 call from a child reporting that her 9-year-old brother was struck in the head by a falling dumbbell, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Deputies arrived and found four children — aged 9, 11, 12, and 14 — with no adult supervision. The 9-year-old was taken to a hospital, treated, and released, police added.

Investigators called Miller over the phone and learned the mom had left for the work trip across the country on Oct. 18, and planned to return home five days later.

Miller, a professional photographer, appeared to be working with a client in Las Vegas who was involved with the real estate brokerage franchise network, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, according to her social media.
