Deputies: Children alone 2 hours while parents swam at Disney pool - OrlandoSentinel.com (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/orl-bk-foster-kids-alone-disney-072009,0,7765551.story)
A Michigan couple left their foster children, ages 2 and 4, alone in their Walt Disney World hotel room for two hours Friday while they swam and tanned at the resort's pool, deputies said.
Stephen Simmons, 49, and Kimberly Simmons, 41, were booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of child neglect.
Each paid a $2,000 bond Saturday and was released from jail.
Orange County sheriff's deputies said Kimberly Simmons, a counselor at a Michigan school, told them she has left the boy and girl unsupervised in the past. Deputies said neither foster parent seemed bothered by leaving the children alone.
