    So she went on a cruise and left her children home alone. Police say Natalie Bellazier left her kids alone to board a three-day cruise on the Carnival Conquest. Poor kids were up and were home alone. The ship left Port Miami Friday for the Bahamas and returned Monday morning where the 29-year-old was arrested. A police report says the defendant left all four minor children, including a two-month-old infant and a two-year-old child inside the residence. There was no sign of anyone at that apartment in North Miami Beach. But over the weekend, detectives say they got a call from the father of the infant concerned the kids were home alone. That man says he saw a social media post from Belazir highlighting the cruise. But when that dad showed up to the apartment Saturday evening, he only heard a TV and the voices of the children through the door, so he called police. We're just grateful nothing worse happened to these kids. First responders forced their way inside and the police report says upon entry, all four minor children were discovered inside the residence without adult supervision and were hiding together in the bathroom. That's when officers determined the children were alone, ensuring Bellazier a one-way ticket to jail. Who leaves the kids, four little kids alone? Judge is an allegation at this time. To go on a cruise. Judge at this time is only an allegation. She denies the allegation. They arrested her disembarking from the coup ship. I understand that, Judge.
