Millenia Neighborhood (32839) – Neglect Horror in Orlando: Mom Got Lip Filler While Baby Died of 107°F Fever – URGENT INVESTIGATION

Millenia Neighborhood (32839)  — In a deeply disturbing case that’s sent shockwaves across Central Florida, a 23-year-old mother has been charged with aggravated manslaughter after allegedly leaving her 1-year-old daughter unattended with a dangerously high fever to get lip injections, according to police.

Authorities say Kathryn “Katie” Beal left her toddler, Aubree, alone in a sweltering apartment for nearly three hours last Thursday. When Beal returned home from a scheduled cosmetic appointment, the child was unresponsive, her body temperature reading a deadly 107°F.

Key Facts

• BREAKING/NEW DEVELOPMENT: Mom left baby alone to get lip filler; child died of heatstroke

• IMPACT: 1-year-old girl died with 107°F temperature; mother charged with manslaughter

• OFFICIAL SOURCE: “This child suffered needlessly for hours.” – Lt. Damon Cruz, Orlando PD

•  ACTION: Police urge residents to report any suspected child neglect immediately

Emergency responders rushed the infant to Orlando Regional Medical Center, but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

According to court documents and bodycam footage obtained by investigators, Beal admitted she had noticed the child was “a little warm” but still went ahead with the procedure, leaving the baby with Pedialyte and a fan. Surveillance footage confirmed she spent over two hours at a local medspa.

“This is not just a tragedy — it’s criminal abandonment masked by vanity,” said Lt. Damon Cruz of the Orlando PD.

The case has triggered widespread outrage among parents and child welfare advocates, who are demanding stricter laws around parental neglect and cosmetic scheduling regulations.

Neighbors told reporters they often heard the child crying alone and suspected ongoing neglect, but no formal complaints had been filed before this week.

Beal is currently being held without bond at the Orange County Jail. Her arraignment is set for next Tuesday.
