On Sept. 9, the couple says they decided to step out that night and leave their children behind in the apartment. They say their 12-year-old was awake and their 11, 5, and 2-year-old were asleep.

“I guess he forgot to lock the door,” Lentz said.

"As investigators attempted to locate the parents, Officer Miller’s nurturing instincts kicked in — as he attentively comforted the child, eventually soothing her to sleep," the post read.

The parents of the 2-year-old were located and arrested for child neglect after investigators determined the children had been left alone for over four hours, police said.

“It's nice you took your children on vacation to celebrate your birthday, you can't leave them alone for a minute because look what happened, you got to spend two days in jail,” the judge said to Lentz in court.

All four kids are with the Department of Children and Families. The couple is desperate to get their children back.

“It was a small, tragic mistake that I'm really hurt about and I don't know what to do,” Lentz said. “We've been doing a lot of crying, a lot of crying, every time we see pictures we cry.”

The judge said both parents are allowed to see their children while they’re in DCF custody. Lentz and Hurd are expected back in court in a couple of weeks.

“We are really good parents, we are good people, we don't leave our children, this is not a regular thing for us,” Hurd said.
