Shocked judge scolds Florida mom of 4 for allegedly leaving kids home alone to take Bahamas cruise: ‘You cannot make this up!’

A Florida mother was arrested after allegedly leaving her four young children — including a 2-month-old infant and a 2-year-old — home alone as she took a three-night cruise to the Bahamas, visibly shocking the judge hearing the case.

“Who leaves four little kids alone to go on a cruise?” Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer incredulously asked Nathalie Belizaire, 29, as she appeared in court with her lawyer by video call Tuesday.

“The poor kids were home alone!” she exclaimed, Local 10 reports.

Belizaire was charged with four counts of child neglect after she flitted off for a three-night cruise on Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Conquest, leaving the children to fend for themselves in her North Miami Beach residence, according to an arrest affidavit.

Lether Bazile, the father of the 2-month-old, told cops Belizaire said she had planned to leave the kids with their great-grandmother. But when he stopped by her place Sept. 26 — a day after the ship set sail — he heard the chatter of kids’ voices and saw the TV on through the blinds.

He called police, who found the children hiding in the bathroom without an adult in sight. Their grandmother, Denise Wilkes, told officers Belizaire said she was going to drop the kids off but never arrived.

I suspect that this wasn’t the first time that she left the young ones in the care of their older siblings.

I wonder why the father showed up at all….maybe he suspected that something wasn’t right. It’s a good thing he did.

This ambulatory piece of offal needs to be SPAYED. She is totally irresponsible and selfish. Not fit to be raising kids.
