Mother denies charges after police say four children were left alone during Bahamas cruise
Nathalie Belizaire, 29, is accused of leaving her four young children at home without adult supervision while she went on a cruise to the Bahamas. At her court appearance, Judge Mindy Glazer expressed shock at the allegations and said it was fortunate the children were unharmed; Belizaire’s lawyer said she denies the charges.
Police say the children, including a two-month-old and a two-year-old, were found together in a bathroom after one of their fathers raised the alarm. Investigators allege Belizaire had said they would be cared for by their great-grandmother, who told police she never received them, and that Belizaire also asked her brother to check on them. She faces four counts of child neglect without great bodily harm, and her bond was set at $10,000.
