When was the last time you had ate? >> Yeah, I didn't have breakfast >> You didn't have breakfast then? >> No. >> What about dinner? >> And your door is always locked and closed and that's during the daytime too, even though I'm not grounded. >> Why would this mom think it was okay to starve her own children until they ran away from home? >> Hey, are you on your way? I want to get a good girl. You see a little girl? >> She went down there like the alleyway like kind of like a little bit before the lights. >> A little bit before the lights like a 36th? >> You make a right and then it's the first left and then >> She's probably in the area of 36th and Spruce. We're going to check the area of 36th Street and Spruce. One of her sisters? All right. >> Hey. >> Leopard print dress. Do you have the device on her? >> No. There's a slight mess. Her dad had to go out of town for like business like it was like not an expected thing. We weren't like prepared and she just >> Okay. Let me double check the house real quick and make sure. You still have the device? >> Yeah, it's in one of those closets. >> Okay. All right. I'll be back. Yes. You said there was another place that's that she normally likes to go to? >> Um okay. >> Can you just start on your alleyway cameras and stuff? Checking any of the cameras they have in the area. >> Okay. Is like sometimes we go for walks like up and down Flagler just like if it's a nice day. >> Yeah. >> And they like to stop at that yacht club over there cuz there's like there's like some trees outside that like they I don't know they look like dinosaurs according to the kids and they like they like to climb the trees. >> Okay. >> So like there's a chance she went there but I don't I I I feel like she's somewhere in that area. >> Okay. >> But like sometimes on a nice day we'll take walks and we'll walk around the neighborhood. >> Okay. >> together. >> So there was a maintenance worker that said they thought they saw a Hispanic female the girl little girl >> Yeah. >> Um at 30th and Spruce. >> Yeah, well she figured out the last two when she ran away, that she like >> Yeah, well, we're That's what we're trying to do now. I haven't I looked around the back of the houses earlier, but it's been a few minutes since I looked again. >> I'll pass you by. All right, so she was kind of hanging out over here in this area. >> Uh yeah, hold on. >> Okay. Okay. >> And back when I saw her running down Flagler, she didn't run cuz I think that's 36 right there. But like she went to the next like intersection over. Like she ran. >> Okay. >> And then took a right. >> Okay. >> She has to be in one of these alleyways. And what she's been saying is that she figured out the past two times when she runs away, that she stays in the alleyways because nobody can see her. When every time she's on the street, she either gets scared because like creepy people will talk to her >> Okay. >> or like nice people will be like, "Hey, you know, where's your mom? Like do you need help?" Blah, blah, blah. And it scares her. >> Okay. >> So she just figured out like I I'm completely sure she has to be in an alleyway somewhere. >> Okay. Okay. >> And it has to be like that way. >> Okay. All right. All right, we'll check it out. Um >> I mean, sometimes she has hidden in this whole parking lot here, but that was like once. >> Right. >> And like she's more likely >> We'll just alleyway I'll check it out. Great. Thank you for all Okay. All right. You're going to stay at the house though? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So she can't have any type of chicken nuggets >> Gotcha. >> Does she just get a reaction? Uh yeah, she actually like she has severe reactions to milk. Like like asthma-like symptoms and stuff. >> She's good with orange juice though? >> With orange juice, yeah. But like we literally have like she has a smoothie at home with orange juice in it. Like we have like like the other officer saw, we have like a literal fridge overflowing with food. We have like mashed potatoes already made for dinner. Like >> Dinner? >> Yeah. Like we pre-make I I don't have time with all the four children, so we make dinner the night before So, we have food. >> you. Got you. >> to meal prep? >> And also, because we know she has this emotional disorder, like if she doesn't see the food already made, like she's more likely to be anxious, so we have the food already made the day before to be like, "Hey, you know, there's food in the house. Like, you don't have to be anxious." >> Is your house all locked up? >> Uh I think so. I'm honestly really upset right now, so I could have forgotten. So. >> Well, we've got DCF coming out. That's our protocol with everything going on. If you want to walk back with the officer >> Oh, I would much rather be where I can see her. >> Okay, you can stay here right now. >> And like if she needs food, like we can cha- bring her food from the house or like you can take her to the house and like if she's not allowed to come inside, then like I can bring the food out to the car or something. But like really, I would like we have food for her. >> All right, we're waiting on some guidance from >> We make a point of making sure she has food. >> and >> making sure she has food. >> Okay. >> Your husband's a chef, right? >> Yeah, exactly. We have food. He's a professional chef. We have food. >> Nice. >> Where's he at? >> He's working right now out of town. So, that's why this is going on probably.

He's a chef. >> It's cool. >> You don't like it over there. >> You don't like it over there where you live? Why not? >> Because Mommy's always being bossy and telling me to wash my teeth again and again. And they make me do homework. And whenever we have meals, and at school, and at nighttime, they don't let us out and the door is always locked and closed. And that's during the daytime, too, even though we're not grounded. I don't enjoy school and they just lock me in the room and lock me in the shower with my clothes on. >> They put you in the shower with your clothes on? >> Yes. >> Oh, no.

Those are the only two things you like? >> thing is when whenever um I try to get food for myself because I'm never full, they take Olivia away. >> They take Olivia away? >> They whistle and they grab her by the neck. They throw her around. >> Who throws her around? >> Mommy and Daddy. >> Mommy and Daddy? When was the last time you ate? When was the last time you had dinner?

Ivy, say good morning to Mommy. Daddy, she can hear you, and everybody else can hear you, too. >> You've told the police that it is time to tell the truth, okay? It is time to tell the truth because every time that you've told talked to the police before, you said something other than the truth. And I don't know what you said so far, but it is time to tell the truth if you haven't already, okay? >> Okay, I believe that you ran and hid because your feet hurt, but other people have been talking about worrying about you being hungry, so that means you had to tell somebody you were hungry. Well, you know you had oatmeal in the house. Okay, well, you had to have talked to somebody, okay? And like where we just want to make sure you're safe, okay? I think that's what Daddy's trying to say.
