A Florida husband and wife were recently arrested after their children were found “severely malnourished,” Sunshine State police say.

Charmy Milfort, 34, and Gabrielle Milfort, 32, are facing charges of one count each for child neglect without causing great bodily harm, as per Miami-Dade County court documentation.

The couple were arrested on Wednesday, according to the North Miami Police Department, but the charges are reportedly a long time coming.

The criminal probe into the events at the Milfort household has been ongoing since at least June 24, based on information from law enforcement. On that date, the Florida Department of Children and Families took over custody of the couple’s sons, aged 4 and 7.

What law enforcement allegedly learned after that proved shocking.

According to arrest records obtained by The Miami Herald and Miami-based NBC affiliate WTVJ, the older child had never been enrolled in school, while the younger one weighed merely 15 pounds.

The children were removed from the care of their parents after they were brought to Jackson North Medical Center by their parents, following what officials describe as an extended period of medical neglect.

The children “were not being fed properly,” police allege.

As detailed in the arrest records, both boys had been consistently fed a limited menu consisting of a pediatric vanilla shake, puréed banana, water, and multigrain rice, leading to malnutrition. The younger boy also experienced constipation due to his diet, police reported.

Medical evaluations revealed that the 4-year-old had sustained a broken arm and leg, and was unable to walk or speak. The older boy, aged 7, was similarly affected, described as “non-verbal” and not toilet trained, which resulted in him still wearing diapers, as per the police information.

Child welfare authorities allege the children had not been to a doctor since 2022 – when the parents were referred to a specialist. The parents, however, never followed up until this summer, when they suspected their children had developmental disorders, police say.

Law enforcement said the couple’s other choices did not align with the years-long decision to forego their children medical care.

“In January 2025, the defendant and co-defendant leased an apartment that was furnished, and they financed a vehicle in February 202,” one report reads. “Those finances could have been utilized to fund the medical care of victim 1 and victim 2.”

In the arrest reports, police said the health of the children had improved since they were placed in the care of medical professionals.

The wife has since been released from jail.

The husband is currently being detained in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center – and has several warrants out for his arrest on a series of other unrelated charges.
