Florida mom accused of going to Vegas, leaving 4 kids home alone

Deputies found no adults present. Responding to an emergency call at an Osceola County home, they discovered four children whose mother, investigators say, had traveled to Las Vegas days earlier.

NBC 6 South Florida's Short shows body-camera footage of officers arresting the mother as she returned from her flight on Friday. The report says she faces four counts of child neglect with great bodily harm.

According to the report, the mother told investigators that a babysitter had checked on the children in the mornings and after school, but had not stayed overnight. That account is an important distinction from an admission that nobody had been checking on them; deputies nevertheless reported finding the children without an adult when they arrived.

The Short drew about 330,000 views in its first nine hours, already far beyond the station's usual first-day audience for that format.

NBC 6 ends its report with the immediate care arrangement: the children's father agreed to take all four into his care.
