Key Points:
- Nathalie Belizaire, a 29-year-old mother from North Miami Beach, Florida, faces four counts of child neglect after allegedly leaving her four children, including a 2-month-old and a 2-year-old, unattended to go on a three-day cruise to the Bahamas.
- The children were discovered by police on September 30 after Lether Bazile, the father of the youngest child, found them alone in Belizaire's home and called 911.
- Belizaire had told Bazile she would leave the children with their great-grandmother, but the children were never dropped off as promised, and were found hiding together in a bathroom by officers.
- Authorities arrested Belizaire at PortMiami as she returned from the cruise, and she has since made her first court appearance but has not entered a plea.
- Belizaire declined to speak with police, though her brother indicated she had asked him via text to check on her children.
