I didn't know he was just going to show up on scene. I didn't know he knew that his lady. >> He was asleep. I called him. No. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Okay. Um, can you tell me I guess like prior to any of this what happened? She's just been doing this. The crying got me over everything. And I couldn't even leave the house. Couldn't do anything cuz she's been doing this. >> And uh putting her hands on my friend earlier when he was over there. >> When you say earlier, was it like It's 9 It's almost 10:00 now.

I have to at least give her a chance to tell me something. >> Okay. >> Um it's just if that was the case, >> the only thing that was kind of question that was kind of odd to me is that if it happened at 7:00 and it's 10:00 now, she left and then decided to go back towards the house. >> No, she didn't leave the car earlier. This happened, right? This happened since 7. >> She back to the house. >> She didn't leave at 7 in the morning. >> The mother admits to substance use. Officers determined the children were placed at significant risk. >> The decision to drive drunk to go back towards her house because she wasn't back to her house with her five kids in the car and crash. Yes, that's the problem I'm having. >> Right. And I >> That's why we're going to ask them both about the domestic situation. >> Yes. But >> I'm going to be honest with you. >> It might be irrelevant if she just >> I'm going to be honest. >> She could have broke her kids arms. She could have smashed his head. >> Yeah, I get it. I understand. But all I'm saying is I'm going to be honest with you. He's not going to tell you the truth. The mom's not going to tell you the truth. People lie to us all the time. >> The last time they call that you guys were called over there, >> they were both lying. So, I'm just letting you know that I'm I'm not cool with it. I mean, if I get it, she needs to pay for I mean, she has >> I'm not cool with it either. I don't condone of it, but I have to have to hear it from one of their mouth.

They get >> and especially as it goes to court, it gets more longer. And yeah, we try not to include kids at all. >> Yeah. >> Is it okay if I go? >> Yeah, you're good. >> Yeah.

Like I don't know. >> Victoria, what did you drink today? >> I knew I had the importers. >> The importers. What flavor? >> It was regularly. >> Regular. Okay. What did Did you have any shots or anything? Did you have any beers? >> I was just like I was just chilling. All I saw was my friendly importers. >> Okay. How much have you had to drink? How many employers? >> Dennis, I didn't even have like many employers. >> What the? You control the door. That's >> about I'm asking you a serious question, Mr. Marty. How much have you had to drink today? >> You were drinking early this morning, right? >> Me today without my kids. >> Okay. How much >> with my kids? With the ever like >> how much?

The children are removed from her care and placed with a family while authorities step in. >> Did you snorted him? >> I snorted it. >> Can you tell me what happened with when you guys were arguing this morning? >> Victoria, >> he was holding me. Telling me what he just >> What time? >> He's just calm down. [laughter] Literally like before I left the house. He had one arm under me and he had one arm over me.

I'm going buckle her up and let me talk. >> We're leaving. I'm going to get you go pee right now. Let me let me >> Please. Oh my god. I'm about to piss all >> Okay, we're leaving. We're leaving. We're leaving. Don't be peeing. >> Can I pee out the window and you not realizing you just met us? No, >> if you pee, you're going to be wearing your pee for the whole time. >> Windows open. >> The incident concluded with the children removed from the mother's custody. The mother arrested and charged with DUI and child endangerment and child protective services, initiating an investigation to determine the children's long-term safety and placement. Remember, driving while impaired puts innocent lives at risk, especially when children depend entirely on adults for safety. Personal conflict and poor decisions can quickly escalate into irreversible consequences for a family. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Five kids could have lost everything because one adult refused to make responsible choices. This is terrifying. Children shouldn't have to rely on luck to survive adult mistakes. Situations like this show why intervention sometimes comes just in time. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. >> We have in total we have eight kids.

So I came back here in case come outside. >> What about dad? >> I think both of them live here. >> Okay. >> They live supposedly both of them live here. They're at Six Flags yesterday. And that's the last set that >> so I assume that Joshua which is the brother out wandering around cuz the DCFS records show her 2019 and her brother a little bit older 2017 >> the address way up there. >> Well, we already checked.

Okay. >> We have people have them with us, too, at the flags. >> Okay. All right.

What what [laughter] our next step is. Okay. Have you ever had any DCFS involvement before? >> I did. >> What did that entail? >> I'm sorry. >> What happened with that? >> They greased the clothes. >> Case is closed. Okay. >> I did what I had to. Um and they they closed it. So, you know, we've been doing good lately. Like I never done this has never happened to me. Like never have I ever forgotten one of my kids in the car. We're going to work through this. >> Talk to him. >> The officers consult to come to an agreement on how to proceed. >> All right. >> So, she's 99 Wisconsin. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, they got like nine kids though. >> Is she after that? >> Yeah. So, the idea is we're going to hook her screen it just for her and then if the sister wants to do him too, we can. They were together last night, but because of the eight kids situation, I'm just >> Yes. >> Uh, who was taking custody of the kids? be dead. >> But grandma's here. She's not on the street. >> Okay. >> That's why we were trying to figure out how to go. >> I would take both of them down. >> Okay. >> And screen it. Give the kids to grandma if she's capable of taking them both. And then they screen decide who to take cuz we don't want to go get it and get a warrant for them later cuz they're both in the car. They're both responsible for the kids. So bring them both down. Just tell Listen, they might not charge you. They might do whatever, but we have to bring them both down for investigation. That's it. Okay. >> All right. And you just try to get all the kids info before we go forward. Make sure the grandma please make sure we get information too like what house she lives at and all this stuff. >> Both parents are arrested for child endangerment.

Mhm. >> Um, so just document that. >> What's that? >> Her diaper's completely soiled. She's saw that. >> She's peed through the seat. >> Yep. >> How do you give kids back to these type of people, dude? >> Oh, man. >> There's a case of four that DCFS gave all eight kids back to this one lady. >> DCF at one time. >> She's literally in >> Yeah, I'll take I'll take it. >> You have a shirt and shoes for him. >> Okay. along with the warrant. >> This is for her. >> That's her. >> Yeah, this uh >> who's the main on this? >> Uh Shephard, >> the chef.

Your baby, you should notice your baby. >> And and you know, you got to put her to bed. >> Like, you know, at some point in the night, you're like, "What? I'm forgetting to do something." >> I'm guessing they were not in the right state of mind. >> Yeah. Maybe maybe they were a little 56 >> Mhm. >> and a halfish maybe. >> Thank God. I don't know how somebody saw I was thinking like >> you had to be >> trying to break into the car >> cuz the windows are tinted, bro. You ain't seen anything. >> I woke up.

That's all right. >> All right. Thank you so much. Okay. >> Both parents were taken into custody and charged with class A misdemeanor child endangerment. All eight children were temporarily placed with their grandmother while DCFS conducts a full investigation. Remember, even a single lapse in awareness can place a child in serious danger, especially when routine turns into exhaustion. Caregivers are responsible for verifying every child's safety, no matter how hectic or tiring the situation feels. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. I can't understand how you forget a child overnight. This is heartbreaking and completely unacceptable. This could have ended so much worse. Thank goodness someone noticed and called for help. Kids depend on adults for everything. There's no excuse for this level of negligence. You think the officers were out of options here. Watch what happens next on the body cam [bell] and tell us if you would have done the same. >> You don't have the right to do. You know, I will I will Hey, you want to see me call my lawyer? >> Sure. Sit while you call. >> Call my lawyer. >> You're doing this in front of your daughter. >> Yeah, that's embarrassing in front of your daughter. Ridiculous. >> Get in the car and knock it off. Officers respond to a disturbance involving a heavily intoxicated woman, Amy, [music] who is with her seven-year-old daughter, after a failed outing that escalated into chaos. >> Hello, ma'am. >> Hi. How are you? >> Could I speak with you for a few minutes? Are you comfortable talking in front of these people, or you want to speak privately? >> I would like to speak privately with my daughter. >> Yeah. Do you want to step aside then over here? What's your first name? >> Amy. >> Do you want to have a seat just so we're out of the What's going on today, Amy? >> Um, okay. So my um my ex he was like um he was like be very rude.

I I don't think I'm >> a male neighbor reports that Amy became violent while he was driving, attacking him, pulling his hair, kicking him, and later striking her own child during the incident. >> So, so what happened in the vehicle today with this gentleman? A gentleman speaking with my partner far over there in the gray shirt. >> He's my neighbor. >> I know. So, what happened in his car today, ma'am, that led us to this situation today? >> I'm not I'm not sure. >> Okay. Why is your face bleeding? >> My lip. >> Yes. >> Um, >> what's going on, man? >> Somebody hind really got out of control on >> Do you know her? >> Yeah, we had just met the other day and we were going to try a first date. See how it was. I didn't know she did. >> How Why you guys all the way down here? >> Cuz her daughter wanted crab legs. >> Amy appears extremely impaired. Slurred speech. Confusion. pinpoint pupils bleeding from her lip and an inability to explain how she was injured. >> Okay. >> So, we were going to go to beach. >> Only we never made it that far because she lost her. We couldn't understand what she was saying. She jumped on top of me while I was driving. She was pulling on my hair. She kicked me in the face. >> Then she started hitting her daughter. >> Is this your daughter? >> What happened? Is this your mommy? >> My daughter. Okay. >> Why is he being mean to me? >> He's not being mean to you. >> He's being mean to me. >> He's trying to figure out what happened. >> And I'm trying to help everything. >> Look, you must have no right. I'm American citizen. Okay. I have my own rights and this guy should be an [ __ ] to be. Really? Are you kidding me? >> Who's this gentleman that you're here with? >> He lives down here with And he lives like a block away from me. He lives away from me. He's not like He lives like a block away from me or whatever. I don't know what that means. She was, but >> what happened to her face >> when she was climbing over me? I swung my hand back. >> Okay. >> Because she was kicking me in the face and hitting me. We were in Yeah. >> While I was in traffic >> and she jumped on top of me. She had her hand around my neck and was pulling my head backwards. Officers attempt to assess the child's safety, but Amy becomes hostile and obstructive, refusing to let police speak to her daughter and repeatedly claiming officers are violating her rights. >> Wait, do I have a busted lip? >> Yeah. Do you know how that happened? >> No. Do I have my >> bust on like a seat or something? >> I'm stupid. I'm I'm >> Do you know what happened? >> Can I tell you something? Look. Hey, can I tell you something? Hey, I'm a boxer. I do kickboxing. I do uh I do kickboxing. Don't do all that. >> Sweetie, that's not martial arts. It's tweaking on me. >> Hey, Amy, what's your daughter's name? >> Excuse me. Why are you asking me about my child? >> Cuz I'm trying to figure out what's going on here. >> No, no, you don't have the right. >> Oh, I do have a right. >> No, you don't have the right. It's >> Can No, no, no. >> I'm trying to make sure you're in the right state of mind to be care to be caring for a young child. >> Oh, really? Huh? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh, I am absolutely the worst. >> You're not able to answer my questions properly. >> Oh, I am. Okay. You couldn't tell me why your face was bleeding. >> Your pupils are pinpoint, which is indicative. >> Here, I'm going to take my daughter and walk away. >> You're not free to leave. >> You don't have the right. I am not cuz you know what? >> Sit. You're not free to leave. >> You don't have the right to tell me what to do. You know, I will I will Hey, you want to see me call my lawyer? >> Sure. Sit.

Huh? >> Amy. >> Yeah, I saw you. >> What's her name? Amy. Amy. >> They have my name. >> Do you mind? Do you mind if I talk to your daughter for a minute? >> Oh, he No, I do not.

I have a lot of family nearby. >> You have a lot of family here. You have a mom or a dad? >> Uh, yes, absolutely. >> Do they live locally? >> Hey, kid.

Hey, >> can you sit down, please? Please. >> Hey, can you call a family member, please? Can we call a family member? >> Because we need somebody to come pick you and your daughter up. >> Why? because you don't have a ride from here. >> I'm sorry. What is the problem here? >> Amy denies intoxication, falsely claims she has cancer, refuses medical help, and becomes increasingly erratic, nearly falling while holding her daughter. >> I don't understand. >> Can I ask you the problem? You said this little person. >> First off, listen. I don't know what you've I don't know if you what you've taken, what you drank, but you're intoxicated. Okay? >> I'm not I'm not intoxicated. Okay? >> We're not going to debate that fact. Okay. So, something happened, right? And >> I don't think it's a wise idea to pick up your kid right now.

Whatever. >> Listen, these people here just check you out. That's it. And they'll be on their way. Can you help? Can you work with them? Can you Can you work with them? >> Yes, absolutely. >> Okay. >> Amy resist officers, accuses them of assault and must be physically restrained after slipping out of handcuffs and continuing to fight. The female reluctantly agreed to get checked out, but the officer still had a lot more work to do in order to rescue the poor child from such an irresponsible caregiver. >> I'm going to tell you, I'm going to be honest with you 100%. It's either you have someone come take. Okay. Or we call DCF. So, those are your choices. >> DCF. >> Okay. >> Oh, no. No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

The child will be placed until they can figure out what's going on with their case. >> According to police statements in the video, Amy, 35 years old, was charged with child neglect, disorderly intoxication battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting [music] arrest. Amy was released from the hospital several hours later after sobering up. The case proceeded through the Florida court system with DCF determining future custody and supervision. Remember situations involving children require calm judgment and cooperation as safety decisions can escalate quickly when emotions take over. Refusing lawful instructions during welfare checks often leads to more serious consequences for everyone involved. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. The caregiver was charged with child neglect, disorderly intoxication, resisting law enforcement, and battery on an officer. The child was placed under temporary protective care and the case proceeded through the appropriate legal and family services systems. As always, all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The tension is already high, or so it seems.

The suspect was charged with domestic violence, resisting arrest and assault on a law enforcement officer. The female involved was separated from the suspect for safety and provided access to support resources. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty through the legal process. Remember, manipulative behavior often escalates when control is lost, especially during police intervention. Separating victims from controlling partners is sometimes the only way to stop further harm. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This is a textbook example of emotional manipulation and control. You can see how hard it is for victims to speak honestly when the abuser is right there.
