She gave us consent to come in and have a walk around. He's not in here, but we have other issues. I don't know which how you want to handle it, but there's a in her bedroom there's paraphernalia in plain view. Burnt There's burnt foil all over the bed. There's a meth pipe laying on the floor. She's got a small child in here. Obviously, the other kid's over at the school. So, I have more just inside the residence, kind of holding the first floor, having mom and the baby stay in the living room. See what you want to do. >> But, we don't think they're selling it or anything like that. >> I doubt they're selling. They look like, if anything, they just use. So, if anything's in there, if anything's in there, it'd be personal amount, personal use. But, I mean, like, what do you want to do with these kids? She's got freaking meth pipe and burnt foil just laying on the bed. And she's got a a toddler in here, and then she's got like a 11 12-year-old over at the school. >> How old is the Like, is the toddler walking around with all that stuff? >> Yeah, like, probably two. Or maybe three. She's old enough to talk and walk around and do her own thing. She'd walk up that bedroom right now and grab that meth pipe just laying on the floor. The apartment's disgusting. There's I'm pretty sure there's bedbugs hopping around everywhere in there. It's Yeah, it's filthy in there. So. >> And no drugs in plain view? >> No drugs in plain view. I wasn't going to like start microscoping when we were in there, obviously, looking for Zach. >> Right. I would at least make a referral to Do you have enough for endangering? >> Not with this burnt foil and the pipe. Unless there is something in the pipe and we If we pick it up and there's still [ __ ] left over in the pipe, that'd be different, but >> I would say seize what you have in plain view, cuz you have a right to seize that and charge her with the paraphernalia. >> Okay. >> And then make a referral to children's services. >> All right. All right, we'll question her on it, too. We'll we'll question her to see if she'll admit if there's any drugs in there. >> All right. >> All right, thanks. Bye. >> Bye. >> This one. >> [snorts] >> We went in to look for him, and she's got meth pipe and burnt foil laying all over her bedroom, so. >> She wasn't dumb enough to hide that before she let you come in and >> She was probably up there smoking it, and that's why she didn't answer. She said she was in the shower. >> Okay. She's probably smoking. >> Because then she wouldn't come to the door. She's like, "I don't want to come I can't find my keys. I don't want to come. It's embarrassing." It's like, "Well, I'm not bringing your kid back until you come and talk to us." And then her keys are laying right up there by the nightstand, where the meth pipe and the burnt foil is. We're going to go gather that up.
