Shirlene Napoleon Alcime, a forty-two-year-old woman, was recently charged with child neglect after her three-year-old twins, Milendhet and Milendhere Napoleon-Cadet, were found unresponsive and pronounced dead. The tragic incident occurred after Alcime was allegedly seen jumping off an overpass in Miami, with the intent to end her life. The Miami Dade Police Department made the arrest on Feb. 6, and online jail records show that Alcime is facing two counts of child neglect causing great bodily harm. She is currently being held without bond and is scheduled for a hearing on Feb. 27.
According to reports from People Magazine and WTVJ, Alcime had been struggling with her mental health and financial situation. She told investigators that she had been planning to take her own life and that of her twins due to her mounting debt and financial struggles. Alcime, who owned multiple businesses in Florida, had also faced several eviction cases since 2021. The police department stated that pending toxicology results, Alcime could face additional charges related to the incident.
The arrest report reveals that Alcime had considered jumping off the overpass while holding her children or throwing them off individually. However, she ultimately left them in the car while she jumped off herself. Despite efforts to save them, the children were found foaming at the mouth and declared dead at the Jackson North Medical Center. Alcime maintains that she has no recollection of what happened to her children.
The twins' father, Milson Cadet, expressed his grief and desire for justice in an interview with the Miami Herald. He stated that he just wants to understand what happened and that he is struggling to cope with the loss of his children. Initially, the children were discovered in the backseat of Alcime's SUV at 2 a.m. on Feb. 2, while their mother was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
This heartbreaking story has sparked conversation about mental health and the importance of seeking help in times of struggle. It serves as a reminder that behind every tragedy, there are real people with real struggles. We hope that Alcime receives the help she needs, and that Milendhet and Milendhere are remembered as the innocent victims they were.
