When officers realized there was a child in the car, they called Bernard's girlfriend to come pick the kid up. And yes, he planned to leave his kid alone in the car while he went inside.

That's how we ended up here. So you've been lying to me in my face. >> He's been lying to me in my face. They took the pump to Sarasota. So guess what? Not my problem no more. T-roll, figure it out. >> I'm trying to understand because you don't know what's going on. And what I have to do is in the car, let's think about it first. Okay. >> Real quick. Real quick. Hey, >> give me a second, please. I can talk. I just need to breathe. I'm out here by myself. I don't have no family. I don't have a license to drive. I just had to get my coworker to come bring me here. I'm trying to understand what's going on because he said to me they were sitting over by the green chairs watching the water.

I cannot drive this car. [ __ ] is in storage. I'm out here with my son. >> The officer on the scene could see that the mother was crushed. Barely holding it together. He helped her through what had to be one of the worst moments of her life. >> Kalissa, can you look at me for a second? I can make contact with >> I need contact with him. >> Okay, but listen to me.

While the father chose pleasure over parenting, the next parent used his daughter as bait for attention. >> I told you I was seeing my child. I was abusing my kid. I would never do nothing. >> On January 31st, just before 7:00 p.m., officers in Georgia were dispatched to a domestic disturbance in a parking lot. Reports said a man and a woman were yelling, but there was one detail that made this case urgent. According to multiple witnesses, the woman made terrifying threats. >> Hey, how are you? What's going on? >> I have to go hang out with your friends earlier. >> How much you going to hang out over here with you? Huh? When I told my boyfriend that I was going on hanging with a friend earlier >> and when I came back there he wouldn't join me for a for a minute. He cheated on me and said my baby's diaper changed. I was trying to go back to the hotel. >> Okay. >> They wouldn't open up the door. They've been being funny. Timothy's been trying to talk to Josh for intimate stuff. >> Who's Who's Timothy by the way? >> That's my boyfriend out there. I want this stuff. >> He doesn't want me. He's telling people my crazy been calling them to tell them to open up the door so I can change my daughter's diaper. >> Okay. >> They saying that I'm swinging my child around trying to Yes. I was upset. So I was walking around everywhere freaking out cuz I have panic attacks. I have asthma attacks. I get very upset when I get upset. >> Okay. >> I wasn't trying to start anything. But I had my friends call their phone so they can open the door. They're out getting food. Me and Timothy was right before I left discussed that we were going to go get little. >> So they're being they're saying I'm being extra trying to my daughter. My daughter loves >> she is so >> and I was not trying to her but they got people filming me and stuff because I'm running around and running around trying to get away from Josh cuz Josh was following me. >> Okay. >> So I called my mom and I told my mom that Josh is following me and calling the police saying that I'm my child. >> Yeah. Um, I'm not doing that. My mom was like, tell them that Josh keeps following because that's what they were doing was following me. >> Okay. >> They could have texted me and told me they was out in school, but instead they talking I was out with a man, so I don't deserve to know where they at. But that is my child's father. >> Right. Right. All right. Who are you? >> I'm the father. >> Okay. Do me a favor. Can you just go talk to that officer that just pulled up out there and then we'll be with you in a minute. Okay. So, I sent a text to them and I said, "I'm going to myself as just to see if they I just wanted them to come so I could all I said I wasn't going to do it." >> During questioning, officers spoke with everyone involved and it didn't take long to piece together what happened. >> Yeah. So, we're just trying to talk to Deja. Yeah. We're trying to talk to her, trying to get make make some sense of everything. How are you, ma'am? Good. How are you? >> Are you the witness? >> Third party person. Okay. Yeah. So, he's talking to her and I just came over. We just want to chat with you guys just so we can kind of cross reference to see what's going on and fill any holes or anything. And I apologize.

I was walking out of pizza. You were screaming. >> The person that was following her. >> Yes, sir. Okay, go. Start early this morning. She started yelling. She left with her friend. We He has an app that proves that we went to OD. We actually purchased from ODC. She's blown up the phone. She she literally sends me come get a y on me before she with me and as a text message that I showed um the other officer I show you right now it's okay I don't need to see this so I come rushing down here and I grab the baby from sitting right there way in the gentleman that just right there saw me walk past without the baby walk back in with the baby my arm she bends where is Tim yelling yelling yelling grabs the baby from I don't fight her cuz I don't want to get in trouble yes >> I don't fight her cuz I don't get trouble let her grab the Okay. But I'm there to make sure the baby doesn't get hurt. >> I see them walk out of pizza. Hey, that distracts me. She runs in the middle of the road. >> She sees it. I go and grab her and I push her back. >> Then she starts walking away and goes, "I'm this baby." And look, he jumps up and tries the baby on >> which I had to jump in front of her and get the baby. >> Okay. >> That's when she witness down here >> and I yelled at her, "Can you call the police?" That's when she called the police and we walk down here. And then ma'am, you said you were over at the pizza. >> Yeah, I was walking out and I heard the screaming, but I didn't see anybody and then it was starting to get closer. So, I put the food in the car and I started to walk around and I saw them two arguing. She's screaming, "I'm going to start to walk to got in the road and he grabbed her, >> pulled her back, screaming back and forth." And so I was like, "What the hell?" So I started to walk up a little bit closer and then she jumped up and act like she's like, "Oh, baby on the ground." And that's why I called back. >> After speaking with several witnesses, officers decided they had heard enough and moved in to arrest the woman. >> All right, miss. Uh, what's your name again? I'm sorry. >> I'm Deja. >> Miss Deja, can you go ahead and just put the phone down for me real quick? >> Can you call my phone? Just call my name. >> I'm going to give you a call. Okay. I'm going let you call. >> Can you tell me what I'm being arrested for, please? >> I will. I will. I will. Put your hands behind your back and we will get to >> Tell me first. Tell me. >> We will get to all that. >> Tell me first. I didn't do nothing. >> Hey, please tell me. [Applause] Calm down. Wait. Stop. Listen to me. Listen. Listen to me. We're not going to take your time out. >> I'm scared. Please. >> All you got to do is just listen. Okay. Just listen. Put your hands behind. We'll We'll explain everything to you. We will explain everything. Listen. Listen. Stop. Listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. >> Hey, calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. You got to You got to relax. You got to relax. Got to relax. Okay, relax. Calm down. Look at me. Look at me. Look at >> I need my ass. I need my ass. Danger, come on. Do me a favor. >> Do me a favor. Come sit right here on the curb, okay? Okay. >> Okay. No, just breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe. The woman, later identified as Dan, admitted she had threatened to hurt the baby, not out of actual intent, but to get her boyfriend's attention. But here's the thing. Even without following through, a threat like that crosses a serious line. Psychologists describe this behavior as coercive control, a form of emotional blackmail where manipulation replaces physical confrontation. >> I told you I was fleeing my child. I wasing my kid. I wouldn't never do nothing. >> Right. But you can't threaten to hurt yourself or the child. >> I didn't even mean that. I just said that cuz I needed them to come even if you didn't mean it. The thing is is you can't use those statements to get back at them or get their attention or stuff like that. You can't throw your child like that. >> They didn't know that if you were serious, if you were just trying to get attention. >> What's wrong? >> I think they were just reacting. >> I know, but they were but they were reacting to the words you said. Whether you were serious or just joking. They were reacting to how you made the >> They were threatening me and I didn't know what else to say to get them home from me. And then Josh was following me around like I was really going to do something and I wasn't. And I but I think he was following be you because he maybe he was worried about the messages that you sent. Does that kind of make sense? So I don't think it was anything malicious. I just think that they weren't sure if your miss if your messages were sincere or if you were just trying to get attention. They didn't know that you just said that to get their attention >> to get them to the hotel so I could change my daughter. I just >> Under Georgia law, child endangerment applies when a child witnesses family violence. But in this case, the child wasn't just a witness. He was part of the threat. She was subsequently charged with domestic violence and thirddereement. As unsettling as that was, the next case is even harder to process. >> Whenever you said you give him his cane, do you remember what time that was? >> Uh um no, it's not exactly. >> In July 25th, 2023, emergency services in Albuquerque responded to a call about an unresponsive child. When they arrived, they found a 5-year-old boy inside the home. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him. >> Is it your kid that call for? No, cousin. >> Your little cousin? >> Uh, Marcela. She's in there. She on the other side. That's right. >> Okay. What happened? >> Um, so, uh, I guess, um, they she was saying she was telling them that I guess she was coughing up a little bit. So she was grabbing the little thing that she uses to like get the >> So yeah, she was doing that and then she said like stop breathing or somewhere in that category. I I'm not really sure. >> You didn't did you see anything that happened or No, >> no, I was in my I was in my room and then she started like panicking and she was like, "Oh my god, Jason's dead. Jason's dead." Like and I'm just like, "Oh, no." Honestly, at first she was like, "Hey, call the police. Call the police." Right. I was sitting down there. She was like, "Hey, call the police." And I was like, "Oh." So I was just like call the police. I guess like when she was right there sitting down the note and cop happened a little bit before, right? So I sat down and I thought everything was fine cuz it just happened all the time, right? She always uses that. So I told the cops, boom, that's when it happened. That's that's all I really know. >> It doesn't come through right now that she just be right there while >> I understand that. But we also have >> So we don't know like the history, >> right? But the paramedic is right there. >> No, I know. But so like we have people because it's a child. >> We have people that we have to call to make sure that there's nothing. >> Well, then you need to get them over here right now because her son is her son is about if he doesn't go, she has every right to be right there. Even if you stand right there, she should be right there as it goes to God. It's important. This is this is the rest of her life that she's got to live. I feel you. >> Um, do we have any more family coming today? >> Yeah. >> He was just five, but this kid had already been through more than most adults. He needed a wheelchair and a feeding tube just to stay alive. Within hours, police turned their attention to the child's 23-year-old mother, Marcela Montilago, the last known person to care for him. >> Marisella, I know it's kind of a difficult time right now, but can I ask you a few questions? >> Yeah. Um, can you kind of describe to me just kind of your day today with Jason? >> Yeah. Um, I got a murderer and um, I was in my room and my grandma knocked on the door and she told me that uh, the baby um, uh, he had a little bit of drop on like right here by his mouth. So I came out of the room and um, I cleaned up the throat and I got the um, was in his mouth out with the bulb. He had like um, he had a bunch of saliva on there cuz it sound like he was gurgling. >> Uhhuh. And um I changed his diaper and um I put him on his next mouth and um and I walked by him and I noticed that uh that he wasn't breathing and I I picked him up and I told my cousin that he's sitting on the recliner. They told him to call 911 and uh they told me to do this drive before the CPR house. >> Yeah. >> Do you have any other children? >> No. >> No, just him. >> Just him. >> Um uh what about dad? Is dad involved at all? >> No. No, he's in prison. >> Okay. Um, and you said three times a day, right? Do you do is it like pretty consistent for you or is it just kind of like does he does would he show like >> could he talk and stuff? >> No, he's nonverbal. He >> was nonverbal. Okay. >> Um, sometimes um I I would skip a feed because he would he would spit it out. >> Uh-huh. >> But yeah. Um Yeah. And uh since he is recently losing weight, uh they um changed uh him to a different formula. So, >> when did they do that? >> Um, that was like about a month ago, I think. >> About a month ago. >> Yeah. >> So, in June sometime? >> Yeah. >> Was that his doctor? >> They changed the formula, huh? >> Yeah. >> Um because he was losing weight. >> Yeah, cuz we noticed Yeah. His had a weight loss. >> Okay. Um, did it seem to help? >> Not not that we know. >> Was he um was there anything like unusual today that like wasn't a typical day? >> No. No, he's fine. He's fine. >> Okay. Um and Jace typically just stays on the couch. Is that like typically where you >> keep him? Okay. >> Um >> but the warning sign started long before. Between 2022 and 2023, at least four reports of medical neglect were filed with New Mexico's Child Welfare Agency. Marcella had pulled him from special education and skipped appointments. At 5 years old, the boy weighed just 14 pounds, barely more than a newborn. And despite her shifting stories, the autopsy confirmed he died from extreme and deh. Marcela was also battling a drug problem. And according to investigators, that likely had everything to do with the way this child was neglected for so long. She was charged with child abuse resulting in death and held without bond. But just a few months later on May 2nd, 2024, she was found unresponsive in her jail cell. Medical staff tried to revive her, but she didn't make it. But this woman's attitude was so terrible that it caught the attention of both her neighbors and the police. They had to step in. >> It's a problem. The kid is starving right now. I had to feed him beef jerky because >> starving. >> You just said he didn't eat supper last night. >> No, he didn't. >> He hasn't had breakfast either. >> Yes, he did. On Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024, a distressing incident unfolded in Craighead County when a 7-year-old boy was found walking alone miles from home. A concerned citizen alerted authorities after the child attempting to reach Valley View School appeared at his farm stop on Craighead Road 457. >> Where you live at? >> Say what? >> Can't remember. >> Come here, baby. >> It's okay. You can't remember. >> And I I am going to my school. >> You're going to school. >> Do you know where Valley is? >> Mhm. >> I'm going there. >> I do. I'm here to help you this morning. Okay. >> I was feeding and I just caught a glimpse come by the side of the barn and I supposed to be somebody here, you know. And I looked this little guy. He said he he says he's missed the bus. >> Okay. >> Mom told him he had to go to school. >> Where's your mama at? >> I don't know. What >> is she at home? >> Yeah, but I don't know what road. >> Did you Did you talk to your mom this morning? No, she she she I got in trouble and then and my mom said today you have to wake up on your own and try to get catch the bus. If you don't uh you should maybe maybe like now she doesn't want me to just she said like I'm like I got in trouble last night and then and then she said go to sleep I won't set your alarm clock and she will will I wake me and say goodbye. >> Okay. So, you had to get yourself up today. Did you sleep in your bed last night? >> Mhm. >> Inside the house. Okay. Well, we're going to make sure you get to school, but we got to go talk to her real quick, too. Okay. >> Can you just talk to her? >> Did you uh Did you eat breakfast this morning or anything? Are you hungry? All right. Did you eat supper last night? Didn't eat last night either. She She said, "You're not going to eat eat supper." And she and she just And she said, "You just need to stay in your room for all night." >> Okay. >> And I just been doing my homework. >> Well, come with me. We're going to run to your house real quick. Okay. >> I want to just go to school cuz my mom don't want me to. She want me to go to school. So, >> okay. Well, come with me then. Are you going to go to school? >> Say what? >> Are you going to go? >> I'll be back in a second. >> Are you going to go to school? >> In a minute. The 7-year-old said he'd missed the school bus this morning. But here's what really stood out. He was more afraid of his mother finding out than he was getting lost or walking seven miles to school alone. You could sense he was terrified from his voice. Still, the officer was determined to get to the bottom of it. >> Go ahead, >> you want something to drink real quick, bud? You got anything to eat? You got anything to munch on? >> Yeah, let's see if we get any supper or breakfast this morning. Some beef jerky. I don't feel like you want some beef jerky >> 51825186 getting a copy of an exam report. >> He said he's got a 2-year-old brother is what he told me down there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's got >> He was all the way down there by the landfill. He walked that far. >> Yeah. Well, I picked him up and I brought him back and he whenever I was cuz he called he opened the door and I didn't go in, but I was yelling for him and he walked around the house. So, I thought he went in the back and I've been yelling for him and I can't get him to come to the door. Well, I know why he I don't know how he went past me. >> He said, "Mama's going to be really mad if he didn't make it to school." >> Yeah, that's what she That's what she she said, too. >> I told her I said, "Don't leave till you find out somebody's okay, man." The kid's mother was later identified as Amber Thompson, and her next door neighbors were among the first to sense something was off. They'd noticed the kid wandering outside alone. And the more officers heard, the more the details raised their suspicions and made them dig even deeper. >> So, we're fixing to scare the hell of somebody. >> Sheriff's office. Sheriff's office. Sheriff's department. >> Kid in the bedroom right there sleeping. >> Hey, buddy. >> Sheriff's office. >> Another kid. >> Hey, buddy. Hey, the police. >> Sheriff's office. >> Clear. >> Clear. >> Hey, buddy. Where's your mom? Where's Where's your mama at? >> Huh? >> Sheriff's office. >> Oh my gosh. >> Hello. Sheriff's department. >> Sheriff's office. >> How you doing? >> I'm good. How are y'all? >> I'm trying to figure out why your kid's walking down the road by the landfill on his own. >> Who? Which kid? >> Your sevenyear-old. >> I don't know why. He said you told him to uh get up and go to school on his own this morning. >> He got in a lot of trouble last night and he got an alarm for um Easter. >> Well, he missed the bus and he's scared of you. So, >> he's scared of me. >> Took it amongst himself to walk all the way down by the landfill. >> He's scared of me. Okay. I mean, he can he can be scared of me all he wants. He needs to be scared of me. I'm I'm his parent. That's his that's my job. >> You got any ID on you, ma'am? Um, my husband actually has it. He has my ID in my circle. He had to take us to an attorney's office for some things for our business. >> Okay. Well, what's your first name? >> Amber Thompson. I know my ID. I know my DL number by by heart. >> What' he get in trouble for? >> Who? >> Your son. He um purposefully left his two-year-old brother on a trampoline in the backyard by the pond because he thought he he just flat out said he wanted to be mean and left him on there by him. It's been a whole mess of stuff lately. He also um >> did he get to eat supper last night? Cuz he told us he >> last night he did not get to eat supper and that's the first time that has ever happened. >> Ever. >> Okay. But when he left his 2-year-old brother because he said he wanted to go play with a cat. >> Yep. >> And he left one of my other babies on a trampoline. >> But but but with you being an adult, you can't expect a seven-year-old to give his full attention to a 2-year-old kid. >> Yes, I can. When he says, >> "I want to play outside." >> Well, come come come out front with us real quick. >> I have two other babies that are sleeping. >> Yeah, we done woke them up. They're not sleeping now because we had to come in and find you. Okay. Hey, y'all need to let y'all touch with me. I'm being very I'm a mother with three boys and I'm doing everything I can do. >> When confronted, she downplayed the seriousness of the situation, stating she believed the seven-year-old was old enough to walk to school alone. Apparently, in her world, being seven comes with full parental responsibilities. However, refusing to feed a kid because he didn't play parent is not discipline, but abuse. You don't need to have it just cuz you're a cop. >> Okay. Well, listen, man. We can just take you to jail for child. >> I didn't do anything. >> You let an 8-year-old get all the way across town. That's a problem. So, don't say that we have an attitude. No, listen. You've talked this whole time. >> Don't say we have an attitude when your 8-year-old is walking down the street and we can't get a hold of you. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> It's a problem. The kid is starving right now. I had to feed him beef jerky because he's >> starving. >> You just said he didn't eat supper last night. >> No, he didn't. >> He hasn't had breakfast either. >> Yes, he did. He had breakfast this morning. >> He said he ain't had even seen you this morning. >> No, he that was what he was told to do this morning. This is the first time >> you expect a sevenyear-old to be an adult on his own. Are you serious? >> This is absolutely the first time this has ever happened for him to have to wait. >> Just hang tight up here. >> Just hang tight up here. I'm fixing to call >> I'm fixing to call the child services. >> The Department of Human Services was called to the scene. During the welfare check, officers found bruises on the boy's three-year-old sibling. Amber Thompson was arrested and charged with firstdegree endangering the welfare of and secondderee battery. She was held on a $50,000 bond. Nothing defines horrible parenting more than that.
