I'm not I'm not sitting here doing this [ __ ] Get in the car. >> Why are you teasing me? Get in the car. Why are you beating me? >> Hey, come here. Come here. >> Stop. Stop. >> Stop. She's fine. She's fine. >> Piece by piece, it became clear something was very wrong. And once officers recognized how dangerous the situation truly was, they knew they had to act before it escalated. >> To park up because that man, that man parks up. >> All right. All right. >> This is when hero cops sense something very wrong in this dangerous house. Here is law zone where features real police body cam footage documenting how officers handle tense and unpredictable situations as they happen. The first incident is that mom arrested after child found wandering on busy highway. Did mom know you're leaving? >> Yes, >> she did. >> I told her. >> She know that she wasn't home. >> Well, yeah. I mean, I had told her that. >> Oh, okay. Go ahead. Put your hands behind your back. On February 24th, 2024 in Port Charlotte, Florida, deputies in Charlotte County responded after a young boy was found alone riding his toy big wheel along US41 near the intersection of Tamiami Trail and Camro Street. The child was wearing only a shirt and told deputies he was heading to his grandmother's house because his mother was not home. Officials were unable to reach the boy's mother by phone or at the home. So, the child's grandmother was called and located the mother inside. >> He says, "Hi." >> We came along and he was driving off here going this way. >> Going that way. >> Yeah. And he was on this part of the road here. >> Hey, buddy. >> We're trying to get some info. So, this is where we gather. Let's see if we get his name. >> Okay. He says his mom's name is last name is Pain. >> Pain. >> Uhhuh. And the grandma is Shannon. >> Shannon. >> But >> we don't know where they he was supposed to go to grandma's home. >> Supposed to go to grandma's house. >> Yes. He says it's about two or three miles away, but he left. I don't think he's very sure. He's not dressed to leave or anything. It looks like he lives on his own. You know, it it doesn't look like it was a planned trip. >> Gotcha. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, do you know what they're here for? To >> help to help you to find your grandma's house. >> This does your friends. >> So, what's your last name, bud? You know your last name? >> I keep my >> So, you just leave you leave. >> You leave with mom. >> Bake shop near my grandma's house. A bake shop. >> There's a bake shop. >> It's a big shop. >> Oh. >> By your house. By the shops. Is it by the shop? >> No. Trip shop. >> Trip shock. >> A trip shock or shock? >> Shock. >> Shock. >> I think my house is somewhere that way. >> Do you mind just read your nose? Okay. >> Did mom know you were leaving? >> Yes, >> she did. >> I told her. >> You told her? And what'd she say? Jose you find on a way to get there. >> Okay. So, you remember where you came from? Like which way? Is your home that way toward that way? It's down the road that way. >> Deputies place the minor safely in a patrol vehicle and coordinate with family members and child welfare authorities. Yeah, I go to >> Would you be able to show me if we went for a ride? >> I can go to grand house. >> You know where? Would you be able to take me to grandma's house if we drove? >> Okay, I can take the camera. >> Yeah, >> I don't know what to >> I guess I keep this here for grandma. >> Okay. Do you know grandma's last name? Is it also Parker? No. What's your grandma's last name? >> Shannon, >> huh? >> Shannon. >> Shannon Dermit. >> Demit. >> Demit. Right. You want to come sit in my car? >> Don't worry. >> Huh? >> Don't worry about him. >> We'll get him home. I'll try and get him home as best I can. >> A grandma's car. >> Okay, buddy. >> So, so, so you are in the big car now. Look at you. It's like the movies. >> I'm going to grandma's house. >> Yes, you're going to grandma's home. Nice to see you, Yulo. >> Byebye. Thank you. >> Yeah, I >> Yeah, that's what he was saying. He lives right down there. >> Thank you for coming out. I really appreciate it. So, what's going on? We're just on the phone with DCF to figure out what they want to do cuz I know DCF's been involved with him already. All right. So, that's why we're just kind of waiting and we just want to be it's a Saturday, you know, we're not in any rush for anything. We just want to really take our time and do things right. So, okay. Just to let you leave you in in the loop. >> Okay. I just didn't know whether you were maybe going to release him to me or not. I was >> That's going to kind of break that. We'll do that maybe after the direction of DCF, you know. So, um, was she unconscious or something or I mean I don't know if she she like found on like if she was like found unconscious like with an injury or anything like that or >> it's it she has all these fans on in that bedroom. You can't hear from the door. >> Deputies locate the parent inside the residence and clarify that the doors were unlocked and the parent was asleep at the time. >> I mean, It's like almost sound. >> Yeah. So, she was asleep in that. Okay. >> But I had called before I had reached her after I talked to you. So, she was awake and then when I opened the door, I just wonder why she didn't come to the door when we were knocking. >> I don't think she heard you cuz I mean I yelled three times then she heard me. >> Did she know that the kid wasn't home? >> Well, yeah. I mean, I told her that. >> Oh, okay. Go ahead. >> On the phone after I talked to y'all, I called her until I reached her and then and then when I went in, I just yelled, but it took about three times for her to hear me in there. It's just >> fine. So you called her up from when you were leaving at your house and >> once Well, I was already on the road. So >> I was on my way to work and they called and told me that he that they found him. So I came here and I have an antique store in Arcadia. >> Oh, cool. Oh, all right. So and you're you're in Maka when you when you're on your way to Arcadia. You still live in on Warren, right? >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. >> I'm sorry. Got a little confused. >> Same thing different. All right. So you're on the way out. You get called from us that we're out here, right? Then you call up mom. You call her up. All right. And then you just tell her that you know he was out here with us and >> Oh, I didn't tell her he was outside with y'all cuz I didn't know where he was at the time. They told me to make contact on 41, which is what I did and where he was. So, >> it wasn't until dangerous. >> It's very scary. And the fact that he thought he was driving in my house is even scarier. That's what he >> by car, but I can't imagine on his on his motorcycle he would find his way. He's actually really good with directions. Not that I wanted to drive an ATV to my house, but I mean, amazingly, he knows like when I'm heading to bring him home or if I'm bringing going to grandma's or whatever, he knows all the directions, though. Um, so yeah, he probably could have made it a little ways, but >> Okay. So, he's going to figure out, like I said, we're going to, you know, we're to care for him. We're going to have, you know, we'll leave that be up to to DCF. We don't make those decisions. Um, because that's civil and that's his, you know, care of the kids. We don't >> Deputies advise the parent of rights and begin a formal interview regarding supervision and home security. I'm not saying we don't take care of the kids. This is that's a separation of jobs. So, all right. All right. So, if you just want, I said, hang tight there near Deputy Troder and he'll help you out and then we'll just go from there. We're going to go talk to Corey. You're Cory, right? Okay. So, good morning. I'm Robert Gay. This is Mr. Mills. So, nice meeting you. All right. You can have a seat. It's all right. Um, just kind of figuring out what's going on here. All right. So, I mean, of course, we're outside your house. So, um, just because, like I said, some of the questions we might get into, I'm just going to go over some things. All right. So, have you ever been involved with a um, uh, like an investigation where you had a provider statement or anything like that? >> Um, provided a statement before you. >> Okay. So, um, what's your full name on your date of birth? >> Cory and >> you any influence of any drugs, alcohol? No. Are you impaired in any way? >> No. >> All right. So, you're not on any types of medication or anything like that that would make you like, you know, silly or loopy or extremely tired? No. >> Okay. You haven't received any like uh injuries or fallen down and bumped your head or anything like that? No. >> All right. Perfect. >> All right. So, um I'm just going to go over um the Miranda warning. Okay. So, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you can say uh could be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions and to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any question if you wish. If you decide to answer questions without a lawyer present, you will still have the right to stop answering any time. And you also have the right to stop answering anytime until you talk to a lawyer. Did I go over that too fast? Okay. I just want cuz sometimes when we >> the parent explains the morning timeline unlocked doors hearing limitations and belief the minor had returned to sleep. >> We read things we end up reading a little bit too fast. So all right you understand that? Yes. >> Okay. Do you know what perjury means? >> Yes. >> All right. What does purgatory mean to you? >> Um lying um lying under like a oath or >> Yeah. Perfect. And it's lying under oath. That could be done in one of two ways. One by saying the pickup here is uh black where it's obviously white or by leaving out bits of parts of the truth. Okay. So basically we're concerned about um does he go by how Okay. So what happened today? >> I don't know. He woke up at 5:30. Like he woke me up at 5:30 in the morning. He just started sleeping in his own room. And normally he sleeps with me so I can hear him when he gets up. >> Buddy's been like wanting to be bigger and sleep in his own bed, which is like down the hallway. But he woke me up at 5:30 and he just wanted the tablet back on and said he was going to go back to sleep. And then after that he just didn't wake me up again. Like I thought he went back to sleep and I went back to sleep. Okay. Um, do you know where he was found? >> Mom said he was at 41. >> Yeah, he's on 41. Like >> a mile away. >> Yeah. Like he's never done that before. [clears throat] Like he always wakes me up like understand why >> the door I mean do you sleep with the door the doors not locked or >> No, the doors aren't locked. >> Okay. [clears throat] Is there a reason why the doors aren't locked that night or >> Well, I was waiting for my brother to come home last night. He never came home, but I left the doors unlocked so we could get in the house. >> Okay. Um, and then today >> none of us have a key to the house. >> Nobody has a key to the house. >> Yeah, we have to get the thing changed out. No, >> that that's kind of unsafe, wouldn't it? I mean, >> like I said, you know, so yeah, we we you got to have a secured house, you know, provide security and very important. >> Yes. >> Um, you know, I understand, you know, people are in different positions. We all don't live in the same, you know, same castles or tents or whatever. We all live differently. But providing security >> block that's been on the house. It's been the same one for a long time and over time the keys just kind of got lost. >> Yeah. If you go to that habitat place on 41 >> I have a new one. I just I need drill bits for mom to put the one on. >> Okay. Um so now when we found him, we we kind of knew where where we ended up finding his his house and Mr. Mills came by here and he was banging on the doors and stuff. Did he not hear us? >> No, but my hearing is really bad. >> Okay. Okay. >> Like I failed my hearing test before. >> All right. So, cuz they were knocking on the front door, knocking on the back door. >> Usually I rely on the dogs like barking. >> I'm saying, "Yeah, >> what was the dog doing?" >> Deputies question response time, prior child welfare history, and supervision decisions emphasizing safety expectations. >> The outside was barking at me. >> Yeah. Like she usually comes to the like my door. >> The inside was barking for >> Yeah. The big one usually comes to my door and that's when I hear whatever. [snorts] >> And then so what woke you up today? >> My mom calling. >> All right. What did mom tell you? >> That was at 41 and get the hell up. >> All right. What did you do? >> I got up. >> We were out here when your mom called though. You never came to the front door or nothing? >> Yeah, cuz I didn't hear any of you. >> Okay. So, you were awake and you still didn't hear us knocking on the doors, >> I guess. So, >> okay. No. No. Was on 41. Did he have any inkling to maybe get up and put on some sneakers and >> Yeah. I mean, as soon as she said that, I came out. >> She called. She called and said he was at 41. And then I got up and was like told Craig what had happened. >> You didn't come out until your mom woke up, got you, and brought you outside. >> Well, I didn't I didn't know what was going on. I tried to call her back and be like, "Where at on 41?" to be able [clears throat] to go down there and figure out what was going on. And she didn't answer. It wasn't until she like called back and you guys were here that I got told that you guys were here with him and what was going on fully. >> Yeah. And actually that was a verbal conversation cuz your mom walked in the home. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. All right. So, and then so >> she never called me back. So, I didn't know where at on 41 or what I was supposed to be doing if she was down there or what was going on. >> So, and you said that you're not on any medication. So, you know, I mean, and I know it's your job as a as to provide care and security. >> Yes. >> All right. So, when you're told is out on 41, which is I mean, it's not it's not too too far from here. [snorts] I mean, whether I had a license or not, >> it was only a couple minutes span before she got here. It >> was like 15. >> Yeah. between your mom calling you and then mom coming in. >> I was trying to get a hold of her to figure out where on 41. I had no idea where he was at on 41. Okay. >> Or if she was down there, if I was supposed to be like I wasn't sure if she would already had him and he was that was my understanding of it. >> Now Craig's inside too, right? >> Yes. >> Now, how how and again I'm you know whatever you how long you've been dating Craig? So >> it's two months. >> Okay. Knows Craig. So if like you ran out to go find and he came back and Craig was there would have been all right, right? So >> I mean it just seems like there's like a big like either LZ fair attitude about being a parent or a lack of like I give a damn. >> I didn't know where he was at on 41 and I thought my mom was there and was fine and I was trying to get a hold of her so I knew where to go on 41. >> I for all I knew he could have been really far down. I did not know. >> Do you have a license? >> No. >> Did you call the sheriff's office? No, I was trying to call her back. I thought she would call back before then. I was just trying to get a hold of her. >> Well, I'm just saying if my was missing, I would probably come out of my house first and then probably call the sheriff's office and find out, hey, where's my kid at? >> Yes, but she like from my understanding she was with him and that he was safe. If she wasn't, like if I didn't think she was, then I would have been freaking out. >> [clears throat] >> and like I said and you you didn't even we were still knocking on your door. >> I didn't hear anybody. >> Okay. Well, >> even when I was awake at that point, I still didn't hear anybody. My hearing is bad. It's not that I just sleep too hard and don't give a >> Well, that's what I mean that's what it kind of seems like. Okay. And I'm not trying to be mean. I I I'm trying to say this with compassion because I'm a parent, too. And I know and it's not as if like you haven't been guided or pro you you've been involved with DCF investigations before. Correct. >> Yes. And they've always been closed out because I've always showed that I was adequate. >> Well, maybe we shouldn't aim for adequate. >> I'm I'm saying more than anything. >> Well, some of that's going to include make getting a lock. >> I understand that. making sure he, you know, and then putting that high when you do get a kid. >> Normally, >> deputies place the parent under arrest, arrange temporary care with the grandmother, and refer the case to child welfare services. >> Yeah. Sleeping with me. He should not be in his own room because then like I don't hear him get up. >> Well, that's okay to have kids have their rooms, but >> Yes. But I'm saying then he'll go and do what he wants and like try to like be independent instead of waking me up. The only way like that wasn't the case before was because I heard him get out of bed and then I was up with him. You have any questions, Mr. Mills? >> Uh, no. >> All right. All right, Cory, stand on up, please. Put your hands behind your back for child neglect. We'll get you closed. Okay. Let me come on up here to the car. >> That way, we're not we can keep you semi-dressed. All right. >> I'm going to let you I'm going to let your grandmother let grandma go get some clothes. Can you let grandma go get some clothes? 21 central. >> Cory's been under arrest for child neglect. >> You trust Craig to be here at the house? >> I don't know. >> Okay. Can you just grab some comfortable clothes, please? Maybe. Um, >> wears your clothes. What do you want? >> Some footwear or sandals. >> [laughter] >> Do you have um do you have underclo on? >> I I see only the shirt here. Huh? >> Yes, you do. Okay. All right. I said I still want to, you know, treat you like a lady. Okay. >> Yeah, you're really not. But all right. >> All right. Well, give me your mate. Let's do it this way then. You want to play around? I'm not playing. You guys very late. is everything. I've never done anything wrong to him. I get [clears throat] that I didn't die, but by scared. >> Yeah. Don't even let him say bye. Like >> I've never been away from him. >> Okay. Just going to have to hang on. I'm good. I'm going to reach over so I can grab the seat belt if you're all right. We just have her like she >> Okay. >> Grandma, just so you know what's going on cuz I want to try to be fair. Okay. It's >> okay. That's what we feel right now. Like I said, this is not the end of the game. whatever the state figures out in DCF. I know there's a little bit of a history with DCF with her >> and like I said, >> she's [clears throat] under your care now. >> Um, >> he said you get the >> she wanted to talk to >> you want to allow that or no? >> What now? >> She wanted to say something. >> Are you all right with that? >> Okay. I just want to be, you know, like I said, because I can't allow that because he's not my kid, but right now he's under the custody of you. >> So, I was like, I'll let him say goodbye real quick through the windows. >> Talk to mommy a minute. Let me straighten your pants first. >> Those task. >> Did you get dressed by yourself? >> Who dressed you this morning? >> Good job. Good job. >> In the back of my car. You know where you're sitting in this car. In the back of my car. Okay. So, you're going to see in a couple days hopefully. All right. >> Okay. >> A couple days. >> Well, cuz you're going to be hanging with your grandma. >> So, a couple days. >> Yeah. >> Just made him happy. Is that okay? >> For a couple days. >> For a couple days. We'll we'll go from there. All right. >> This is not the way. >> The parent was charged with neglect of a minor without great bodily harm for failing to provide adequate supervision. Remember, adequate supervision and secured living spaces are essential to prevent unintended departures. Law enforcement and child welfare agencies coordinate closely when minors are found alone in public areas. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. I'm glad deputies focused on keeping the minor safe first. That situation could have gone very differently without [music] quick action. It shows how important home safety measures are. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is when police rescue one-year-old after dad passes out drunk. >> Say the numbers out loud. Just say it out loud. >> I don't know that boy. >> If you want me to take care of it, I'll >> On July 8th, 2025, police in Joliet, Illinois, responded to a report of an intoxicated man with a one-year-old child outside a hotel. Officers said witnesses reported the man had been passed out near the parking lot while he was supposed to be caring for the child. >> Okay. No, no, no. Stop, dude. >> Dude, stop. Stop. Put the baby down. He doesn't like this. >> You can You can barely stand up right now. >> You can barely stand up right now. Put the cape down. Let's go have a seat in your room. >> We go to the front. >> What's up front? >> The desk. >> Okay. What do they have to do with this? >> They have What? My room. My room. He doesn't like you. Exactly. He doesn't like this. >> He probably doesn't like that you're drunk. >> No. >> And passed out. >> Okay.

So, she was scared to park up because that man that man parks up right here. >> Okay. >> And I'm parked up right here. Do we need him? Do you need some help to help with rocks? Ask him next door in that in that car right here. >> Officers confirm the minor is temporarily with an uninvolved witness and escort the man back toward the hotel room. >> What is that? What does what does that car have anything to do with why we're here? Call >> me for what? Call me. >> For what? How's he got your number? >> He's >> Don't order >> like on the like on the hotel phone he called over. >> The man remains uncooperative, is unable to locate his phone or provide contact information, and officers warn that continued non-compliance may result in arrest. >> Hey, boys. Yes, please. What is Come on, Bob. >> All right. Where's your phone? Call your girlfriend. He got up, walks away, said he didn't need any help. >> I can show you right here. >> What's your name, dude? >> Cl? >> Yes. >> Do me a favor, man. Focus. Okay.

Remember, severe intoxication can impair a person's ability to safely supervise dependent and communicate with authorities. Failure to comply with lawful commands can escalate an encounter and result in additional charges. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. I'm glad officers focused on getting the minor safe first. That situation seemed chaotic from the start. Body cam really shows how quickly things can spiral. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when [music] police had to pepper spray mother holding three-year-old. >> Oh, come on. They said you stole. What did you >> What did you take? Tell me what you took.

And I promise on that I sold nothing. There's like diapers, wipes, and stuff in the something in this. >> What? What are they saying you stole? >> He said I stole I don't even know. He just said he was going to call y'all. >> All right. All right. 57. Was there any description on what was making here? Negative. No description of idle. >> All right, that if you're holding the air, you can release it. >> Nothing, right? >> Yeah. Um, well, we got to talk with them and see. So, I need you to hop in my car with your kid >> really quick and we're going to go check, >> sir. >> Fine. You know what? You know what? Even better. Hold on. Watch this.

I was telling her probably be on the news later. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, you okay, though? >> Do you want your eyes washed out? >> You don't want to? Okay. I'm going to just have my sergeant come over. You make sure you don't >> sound good. Huh? >> No. Do you don't do you want your eyes rinsed out or no? >> Well, it's up to you. >> It was burning a little bit. >> It's up to you if they're good now. I mean, we wouldn't get down there for another 20 minutes, but we can. >> Now, where? >> Oh, we got to go to the eyewash station if you want them rinsed out. But if you don't want to rinse, you have to do the supervisor. Sorry. >> Why am I going to jail? >> No, you're not necessarily going to jail. Might end up. I'm just saying for the for the eyes getting rinsed. If you don't want them rinsed, you you don't want them rinsed. >> Okay. You have to say that to my sergeant, though. >> Okay. >> I'm just an officer. Uh he's a sergeant. >> Okay. So, just hang on one second. >> All right, dear. >> All right.

If you did that' be all right here. Really quick and then we'll get you out of here. Figure out the paper. All right. >> Officers state the woman will receive paperwork rather than beheld. And note the minor was not directly sprayed during the incident. >> Again, it's a cool name. >> All right, just slide your leg in. We'll uh work on this. All right. >> The woman was charged with trespassing and issued an appearance ticket, meaning she was not held in custody at that time. Remember running from officers during an investigation can quickly escalate an encounter. Police encounters prioritize scene control and safety when a minor is present. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. That situation escalated fast once she ran. I'm glad officers kept checking on the minor afterward. Body cam footage really shows how tense these moments are. The tension is already high, or so it seems. What the body cam captures next saves a life [music] pause and comment. What you do here. The next incident is when >> and then she just comes over me for literally no reason. When she gets mad, it's just like she just lies all the time about anything and everything she can possibly lie about. I hate every single one of y'all. All I ever do is take from people. >> On September >> On September 6th, 2024, officers responded to a residence after a dispute between two sisters escalates into a physical confrontation prompting a call to police. >> Hey guys. >> Hey guys. >> Not okay. >> All right, ma'am.

Just the two of them? Okay, I'll keep an eye on the window. Can I talk to you in there, ma'am? Is that okay with you? >> My dog in there. My kids are in there. I don't want to swim and think, >> buddy. I got a dog, too. It's okay. >> Can I tell you what happened? >> Cuz you called us, right? >> Okay. What do you What did you call this dog? My sister got mad because I was so at first. She got mad because her friend over and I was telling her what she was saying >> and then she just comes over and missed me. >> Officers separate the parties, confirm both are residents of the home, and begin collecting individual statements. >> Literally no vision. Tell me how you right here. Still hurts. >> See made me fall right there. Like you can't really see it. You need to do this on your face. >> Yeah. >> Hit me. Hit me in the >> I need be specific on how she like did she hit you with her her open hand her fist? >> Yeah. >> Uh which one? Right or left? >> I have no idea. >> Okay.

She won't quit. She She wanted Emma. Yeah, she wanted Emma to come over. >> The mother explains ongoing tension between the sisters and acknowledges prior conflicts, noting the difficulty of intervening when arguments escalate. >> She got mad at that. And once she gets mad, it's just like So they started fighting the two girls together. >> Okay. >> Right here. And I told him to quit. I can't get in between them cuz I just can't. >> Yeah, I got you. >> But they're sisters. >> Okay. Did one of them, I guess, physically strike the other one? >> Yeah, they were fighting. I don't know what's supposed to happen next. >> Whenever it's physical, it's not usually good. So, we'll have to see what she tells the other officer and we'll see what information she gets. She's probably going to need to write a statement. She's gonna take photos to see if she has any injuries. I guess >> I told her to quit. >> Yep. >> I even went in and asked her. I like you're not gonna hit her no more, are you? You're not gonna hit, are you? >> Yeah. >> And she was like, "Leave me alone. You're you act like you never did no wrong, you know." >> And then it's like, >> we've all been there, done that. >> I'm not going to be getting help. I'm going to tell them, you know, and then I'm like, "Oh, okay." I'm just >> Yeah. >> And they're at that they're at that age. I've got a daughter that's 23 now. the mental hospital box. >> Okay. >> She's getting she >> I think I may have been over here before. >> Yeah. Yeah. She don't take her meds no more. I've been begging her. She don't >> The older sister gives her account stating the argument intensified verbally before turning physical. Officers document statements and observations. >> Want to She's over 18. I can't make her. I sent her to Georgia. She come back here. She's only been back a couple weeks. >> Okay. And the law has been broke this third time. So I don't know what to do. >> We both got physical. She threw her punches and I threw mine. Then she called the law. Stay tonight and then I'll figure out somewhere else to go for the most pain. >> You've been super cool with me so far. I appreciate that. So ma'am, you have the right to remain silent. >> Sometimes too much is too much. And sometimes I'll just let it slide and I've been trying since I moved back here. I'll be out of state. >> I understand. >> Georgia. I came back. I've been here maybe a week, almost a week and a half. Back with my mom and my sister. I tried keeping my cool, haven't got to school with her, not once. Just flipped and I shoved her out of my way. >> Is that how it started when you shoved her out of the way? >> Okay. >> She had my babies. I don't really know. We were just kind of like not the first time it's happened. This is the first time she's actually called the cops, though. And she's always threatened to overly stop her, but she had access to a phone. I'm sorry for all this. >> No, you're fine. It happens. So, more than you'd imagine. It happens. So, >> I'm going to take a picture of your face. Is that okay? >> Officers clarify the sequence of events and determine both parties were involved in the altercation. >> I just got to document the injuries. So, she hit you first, then she grabbed you. >> Yeah. >> So, and where was this? Where did this take place? >> So, she first she hit you. First she hit me and then >> and then she like grabbed my arm and then like pulled me down and started hitting me and then I reached back up and kind of like >> this part hit her >> and everything and then she kept trying to grab me and then I think I might have hit her one more time and then my knives came down here and called >> Was it both you guys kind of like both engaging in the fight? >> First I came out told mom Aubrey was sitting on the Oh >> yeah. second stare. I told her she jumped up and hit me in the face. That's when she grabbed my arm, took me to the ground, started kicking me and like hit me. Then I like came back up like backhanded her. >> Yeah. Like this kind of hit her and then like I started walking back into the house and then she grabbed me again and hit me again. Something like this. Like do you guys usually like have fights like that where it's physical? >> Not that much. >> Mom said that it's she goes to her sisters. >> Yeah. Exactly. Police explain Florida's mandatory arrest policy in domestic related incidents, regardless of whether either party wishes to press charges. >> Exactly. Okay, cool. They do what kids do. >> Exactly. >> Hey, how are you? Give me two seconds. Let me talk to him and then I'll I'll come talk to you. >> Yeah. If you don't mind, just wait out here. We'll step aside for you. >> Yeah. >> All right. Hey, let me talk to you real quick. Can you tell me what happened? Just got tired of her lying on me. Um, she told my mom I said something I didn't say. >> Uhhuh. >> But it's pretty normal. She just lies all the time about anything and everything she can possibly lie about. Whether it's what she wore to school or something that involves me. I don't care what other lies she tells other than when it involves me and it starts something between me and someone else. >> Yeah. >> Shove her out of the way right here at the door >> and then it we both just start fighting. >> You did push her first though. >> You punched her in the face. I >> did not punch her. >> There's a big red mark on her face. >> Did not punch her in the face. Um, I pinned her by the arm and kind of set her down the pitch. >> I mean, you're you're already saying like you punch her and then punching is no words. I just just so I know like you did just punch her, right? >> I did not punch her. >> Okay. Well, then what's the red mark from? >> I don't know. We were both sitting there fighting, but I didn't. >> Okay. >> How long did the fight last? >> Not even 5 minutes did it last. We all broke it up. It's literally it was a few little hits here and there and then once I pinned her to the ground >> and you know she she got back up we both looked at each other and I went and tried to calm down. Then I went over here and she got a hold of the phone. Mom said something about there was no she said she was going to call the police and mom was like there's no need. Nobody was really injured. Didn't get that bad. And then she got a hold of neighbor's phone and called. >> And you live here right now. >> That's what it is. Sucks. Yeah, it does not. >> Yeah, >> I'm going to go ahead and we're just going to ask them all to step inside. >> Yeah, it's pretty simple. Just >> the older sister is informed she will be taken into custody due to being identified as the primary aggressor under state guidelines. >> She told us >> it's a tough situation. I mean, >> it doesn't matter. >> What you say when you ask about the charges? >> No, we don't want to press charges. >> We don't want to press charges. >> Write no right there for prosecution. >> I know the situation sucks. >> How many siblings do you guys have? four or I got. So, unfortunately the situation, I'm just going to be straight up with you because it's domestic. Um, we have no discretion. We have to take you to jail right now. But I know I know. Let me just explain to you. This is not >> But if I would have called the law on her and said she hit me in the face, then she would be in trouble. >> Take your phone. >> Take your phone.

I'm trying to be super cool to you. You've been really cool with us. >> You want me to give your phone to your mom or do you want to take it with you? >> Hey, just so you know, I've met you before. Just so you know, >> your sister does not want to press any charges. She does not want you to be arrested. It's just because of Florida law. >> So, what's going to happen is when they ask her if she wants to press charges or she's going to say no and then you'll be released. >> Yeah, you're going to be released literally in the morning. Officers reassure all parties that the situation is procedural, temporary, and will be reviewed by the court. >> I just want you to know that it's not going to be anything as far as Do you want your son to go with you to go to the property? >> I know it's a lot. >> We we really don't have discretion next. >> It sucks. >> But you're going to be okay. You're literally going to go out the next day. Okay. [laughter] >> You want us to take your phone with you at property? >> No. >> You want to leave here with your mom? >> Do you know your mom's number and everything so when you can call her later? Okay. Hey, I do have It is just also a policy. I have to just make sure you don't have anything on you before I put you in my car. Do you have any any weapons? Any drugs I need to know about before I >> No, I didn't think so. I just want to make sure. I promise you we hate this as much as you do. >> Y'all's job. >> It's our job. >> Y's job. I hate police.

So trust me, the last thing that we want we want to do is take you to crazy. >> All right, stop. Don't pull away. All right, we're going to put these shoes on and we're going to walk to my car. Okay, >> got her some flip flops, pick up some slides. >> They said she wants you charges on you. >> Yeah, I told her that. >> And I can get you out after you go to court. Anyway, >> she does. >> Her sister does not want her to go to jail. We explain it to her. >> I want to sit in a jail cell. >> See that paper one? >> Yeah. She didn't press charges on you. So they have to take >> She didn't press charges and she doesn't want to. >> But if I would have called and said that she hit me, she would have been in the wrong. How is it any How is it any different? >> Somebody would have had to go to jail. >> We have to decide who the primary >> whether you call she called >> whoever. Somebody has to go to jail. >> Okay, folks. Just because it's about to rain, we got to start getting too hot. We're all because of the law. >> It's not because we want to do this.

And don't beat yourself up too much. just when you guys can once you get this done with and and pasted you and you get all this stuff squared away just just try to be real careful with you know what I mean with these kind of things cuz Florida law anytime there's anything domestic brother sister mother husband wife anything like that somebody has to go by law automatically and it sucks for us because we don't want to take you we're like they're siblings they fight we all did that we're kids we all we all fight >> the 18-year-old sister was charged with domestic battery under Florida's mandatory arrest statute. The charge was based on officer determination of primary aggressor status at the scene. No charges were pursued by the other sister, but the arrest proceeded due to legal requirements. The case was forwarded to the court for review with expected release following initial proceedings. Remember, domestic disputes can trigger mandatory legal responses even when family members do not want charges filed. Understanding local laws is critical as emotions and momentary decisions can lead to serious consequences. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. It's tough to watch, but the officers explain the law clearly. This shows how important it is to cool down before things get physical. What do you think about these situations?

That was >> the adult daughter, Milana, was charged with thirdderee cruelty to children after a child was exposed to harmful substances during the altercation. She was also charged with simple battery for physically assaulting her mother. The children were released to their father and no injuries requiring hospitalization were reported. The case is pending court proceedings with officers advising the family to pursue eviction and protective orders. Remember, unresolved family dependency can escalate into violence when boundaries are not enforced early. Children are often the silent victims when adult conflicts spiral out of control. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This was way beyond a family argument. It turned dangerous fast. They tried helping her for months and still got assaulted. Those kids should never have been in the middle of that chaos. Everyone thought it was too late until the body cam shows the exact [music] second officer step in.

Criminal charges referred to the prosecutor DCF will conduct an investigation to determine custody placement and release return of the children depends on DCF and court outcomes. Remember, leaving very young children alone, even briefly, creates real safety risks and can lead to criminal charges and child welfare intervention. If child care plans fall through, call a neighbor family member or delay the errand and document arrangements when possible. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation.

Hope DCF helps the family get stable care so this doesn't repeat. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same.
