Background: The apartment complex where Naomi Holloway allegedly neglected her 2-year-old daughter in Cincinnati, OH (Google Maps). Inset: Naomi Holloway appears in court on June 27, 2026 (YouTube/WKRC).
An Ohio mom is behind bars after allegedly leaving her malnourished daughter home alone while she worked her overnight job.
Naomi Holloway, 21, is charged with endangering children, according to jail records and a criminal complaint reviewed by Law&Crime. She is accused of failing to provide adequate care and supervision for her 2-year-old daughter, who was brought to the hospital on Jan. 20, weighing 17 pounds and visibly injured.
The girl's weight was "a result of being deprived of adequate food and water over a prolonged period of time," a probable cause affidavit said.
According to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, a normal weight for a 2-year-old girl ranges from 22 to 32 pounds.
Holloway, officials say, "admitted to providing limited food and water to [the girl] over a prolonged period of time as well as leaving [the girl] home alone unsupervised while the defendant worked 7:00 pm to 7:00am."
The girl, who is now 3 years old, also "had visible injury as a result of neglect causing her skin to peel from her buttock," according to the affidavit.
The criminal complaint said that Holloway admitted that she left the girl "home alone and unattended during her 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. work shifts."
According to jail records, Holloway is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on $50,000 bond.
Jail records also indicate that Holloway has a court appearance scheduled for Wednesday on apparently separate charges, including criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and operating a vehicle while under the influence. She has a hearing scheduled for the endangerment charges on July 6.

Fitness influencer says Lufthansa refused to board her over outfit
A German fitness influencer took to social media to slam Lufthansa, claiming they refused to let her board one of their planes wearing a sports bra and biker shorts.
Edda Elisa Pilz blasted the company on TikTok, alleging that she was stopped at her gate in the airport, and told she looked 'naked.'
Speaking to her online audience in German, the 25-year-old claimed that she was prohibited from boarding by a Lufthansa employee.
When she questioned why, she said the representative answered: 'You have nothing on. You are naked!'
The video, taken at the airport, showed the blonde young woman in skintight black shorts and a low-cut white bra with black trim. She also wore a cropped grey sweatshirt.
Edda insisted her outfit was ordinary athletic-wear, but said she was made to put on a jacket, and told to zip it fully.

And she noted that she took issue with the gate agent's delivery of the dress code, not the dress code itself.
'If there are rules, I accept them. But then show me the rules,' she argued.
According to an account from the Mirror, Lufthansa responded by saying that the words allegedly used by the employee 'do not correspond to our standards' and 'would not have been used by their staff.'
It was also stated that workers are trained to use discretion in their jobs when it comes to enforcing policies.
The airline noted that travelers must wear clothes 'appropriate to the character of a public journey.'
Edda, who boasts 639,000 TikTok followers and 555,000 Instagram followers, eventually was allowed to board the flight.

Novak Djokovic goes viral after Wimbledon marriage proposal
Novak Djokovic has asked a pair of fans for an invitation to their wedding after a man got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend during the Serbian's first-round match at Wimbledon on Monday.
Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, saw the proposal during a break in play and gave the couple the thumbs-up before telling them: 'I want an invitation to the wedding.'
The couple gave him the thumbs-up back from the stands.
The incident has since gone viral, attracting tens of thousands of views online.
'He is such a sweet man,' one person wrote on Wimbledon's official Instagram post.
'I hope he gets one and goes, it would be awesome,' another said.

Novak Djokovic gave two fans the thumbs up after a marriage proposal during his first-round match at Wimbledon on Monday
The couple responded to Djokovic's request for an invitation to their wedding
'Djokovic asking for a wedding invite is peak Novak,' a third person wrote.
Not all fans were complimentary of the couple, with some suggesting the man could have proposed in a more private way without taking attention away from the match.
'The weird couple making the match about them… arrogant and narcissistic,' one person wrote.
'Always seeking for attention,' another person wrote.
'Forget them, concentrate on the match,' a third person wrote.
Wedding proposals are common at big sporting events.
A memorable incident involving Steffi Graf occurred in 1996, five years before she married Andre Agassi.
She was proposed to by a fan at Wimbledon, to which she asked: 'How much money do you have?'

Djokovic himself had a marriage proposal from a fan at the 2025 Australian Open.
The fan yelled out 'marry me, Novak' to which he replied: 'Sorry, mate, I have a wife. We can have a drink, though.'
Djokovic has been married to Jelena since 2014, with whom he has two children, Stefan and Tara.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion beat China's Wu Yibing in the first round 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to set up an encounter with Stefanos Tsitsipas.
After the match, which was watched by Sir David Beckham, Djokovic was interviewed on Centre Court and said it 'didn't feel like a first-round match'.
'It felt really challenging for me today. Wu deserves a huge round of applause for his performance,' he said.
'He put me under a lot of pressure, I never faced him before, I knew he loves hitting the ball flat and aggressively from the back of the court, but he definitely surprised me with the level of every shot in his game. At some point, he didn't have a weakness.
'It's lucky he missed that overhead on break point, I probably should have lost that fourth set, he had lots of break points. On this surface, this kind of match is decided in a few shots and thankfully I have experience of the last 20-plus years.'
Djokovic was booed as he played an imaginary violin with his racquet at the end of the match as Wu left to an ear-splitting ovation.
The Grand Slam legend, 39, is trying to become the oldest Wimbledon men's singles champion since the Open era began in 1968. Roger Federer was 35 when he defeated Marin Cilic in straight sets in 2017.
