WATCH: Florida mom leaves 4 kids home alone for nearly a week while she's in Las Vegas; cops have surprise waiting at airport

1 week 6 days ago


A Florida mother allegedly left her four children home alone for nearly a week so she could go on a trip to Las Vegas. However, police reportedly greeted the mom at the airport and arrested her after her youngest child was injured in her absence.

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that a child called 911 shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. The juvenile informed the dispatcher that her 9-year-old brother had been injured when a dumbbell fell on his head, police said.

'The Osceola County Sheriff's Office will not tolerate child neglect.'

According to the statement, deputies responded to the residence and found four unsupervised children, ages 14, 12, 11, and 9.

Fire rescue personnel transported the 9-year-old boy to Celebration Hospital for treatment. The boy was later discharged.

A responding deputy contacted the children’s mother, 50-year-old Irene Miller, by phone.

"She told deputies that she had a babysitter coming from Tampa in the mornings to get the children ready for school and to check on them after school, but she did not require her to stay the night," the statement read.

Miller told the officer she was working in Las Vegas and would return Friday, Oct. 23.

The New York Post reported that Miller, citing her social media, is a professional photographer and 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.

Police said Miller departed Florida for Nevada on Oct. 18.

Police bodycam video the sheriff's office released shows deputies confronting Miller on a jet bridge at the Orlando International Airport after she stepped off her flight from Las Vegas on Friday. Deputies escorted the mother through the airport before placing her in handcuffs.

Miller, of Kissimmee, was booked into the Orange County Jail and charged with four counts of child neglect without great bodily harm.

Miller has since posted bond and has been released from jail, according to Law&Crime.

Police contacted the children's father, and he took all of the kids to his home.

Osceola Sheriff Chris Blackmon stated, "The Osceola County Sheriff's Office will not tolerate child neglect. These cases will be investigated, and charges will be brought against the parents who are not properly supervising or caring for their children."

Miller's next court date was not immediately listed.

Michaels under fire after Ohio store refuses to frame Trump portrait and other items

1 week 6 days ago


The craft store Michaels is under fire for an incident that happened at its Mayfield Heights, Ohio, location earlier this month. A conservative podcaster who posts under the name Chaos Coordinator said staff refused to custom-frame three items for her: a favorite image of President Trump, a religious watercolor painting of praying presidents by artist Jon McNaughton, and an original moon-landing newspaper.

She claimed an employee cited company policy and that the manager treated the items as sensitive or inappropriate.

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales plays the video that Chaos Coordinator took of the exchange.

“So this lady decided she didn't want to service me because she didn't like the pictures I brought for framing?” she said to the employee in reference to the manager. “Is this Michaels’ policy? Because I'm going to write to them and talk to them about that.”

“It’s not political; this is for my house,” she added.

The employee continued to claim, “We’re not allowed to do political pieces.”

In response to Chaos Coordinator’s video, Michaels responded:

“Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Michaels does not have a policy prohibiting the framing of political items, and we strive to welcome every customer. We've reached out directly to discuss your experience and ensure your project needs are met.”

“I'm just wondering: What else are you going to be doing about this, Michaels?” asks Sara.

She notes that this isn’t the first time the chain has ignited controversy by refusing a customer who wanted a Trump picture framed.

According to a 2024 Seattle Red article, a Michaels customer claimed an employee refused to frame the photo of Donald Trump with his fist raised in the air after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, because it made her “uncomfortable.” She also claimed other employees would likely feel uncomfortable as well.

“It's very interesting. ... It seems to be only Trump material that these people are worried about framing,” says Sara.

She points out that in 2009, Michaels published a press release titled “Framing Presidential History” promoting its $99.99 special to custom-frame Obama inauguration newspaper front pages.

“Wow. How historic. How special,” Sara mocks.

Trump Was Right: Study Finds Paper Straws More Harmful to the Environment than Plastic, Contain Carcinogens

1 week 6 days ago

A South Korean study found that paper straws may actually be more harmful to the environment than plastic ones, when taking into account their full life cycle from manufacturing to landfill. They also have more than six times the carcinogenic impact of traditional plastic straws. President Donald Trump ended the Biden Administration's push for paper straws last year.
