She's not going to hospital. She's >> a lot later. >> You have another son with you? >> Yeah. >> How old is he? >> He's fine. >> All right. Go to the beach and look for him. >> What's he wearing? What's he wearing? What's he wearing? >> Hold on. Hold on. >> He's here. >> That's what I'm saying. Yeah. >> Did you guys get my nephew from the fam? >> I don't know where your nephew is. Who's your nephew? Who? Where's the nephew's dad? >> Mom is here. >> Mom. That's your brother. >> Ma'am, get up first. Come over to our car. Walk with the officer there. Listen, we're like a five adults here with two of my kids. I just came to to take him to the beach. >> I understand, but when you're questioning why somebody else is holding your daughter, that means that you should have been there to >> But literally, we were all paying attention to like I was literally just leaving. >> How could everybody be paying attention if an honest citizen that don't even know >> what's going on right now? Like I don't understand the beach there with a 5-year-old brother, right? >> What is going on? You left your daughter in the beach with a sibling that's 5 years old. >> I was going to be watching her. >> She was drowning. Someone had to take her out of the water cuz she almost drowned and died. Do you understand that? What the hell happened? >> You stepped away from them and she ended up drowned as someone had to go into the water cuz she went too deep and she was taken in water and she almost drowned >> and people in the beach had to step in and get her out from the water cuz she almost died. Do you understand where we're at right now? >> Where were you at that point? >> Mom, I'M NOT SAYING >> I WAS RIGHT THERE. I've been checking on her EVERY 5 MINUTES. >> I BROUGHT A BLANKET. I BROUGHT WATER. I BROUGHT COKE. I BROUGHT everything for them to be comfortable for today. LITERALLY last night was my birthday. >> You know, like if that person WOULDN'T STEP IN, SHE WOULD HAVE DIED. >> I'M NOT A BAD MOM. I don't know what to tell you. >> Never said that you're a bad mom. But what I'm saying is a sority would occur. You stepped away. SHE ALMOST DIED. >> I UNDERSTAND for a second. I understand that. >> Yes, sir. >> So, she was at my bar and she had the kids. And the truth is when the friend got drunk, I think she thought the men were looking after the babies. She literally has had them the whole time. And I if she wasn't if she was a parent, I would have said so. I'm a foster parent. I'm very big on kids. She has had them the whole time. >> And so when her friend was stumbling drugs, she took us to the bathroom because she's like she's throwing up, you know? So that's I don't want you to think that she just she wasn't just not being a mom. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So where's the friend at now? Or did she leave somebody else in charge? >> She said where her brother and her friends I I I think they assumed that the brother and the friend were going to be watching while they were in the in the women's room cuz she literally just went. >> She was not. She's literally been there the whole time and the kids were with her. I'm not trying to be funny, but they really were. She wasn't not being a good mom. >> Okay, I'll pass that on to my partner. >> Okay, >> hold on. Hold on. >> Somebody found her daughter. I understand. >> All right. Somebody found her daughter in the water drowning. Some citizen little girl saw the baby drowning. Yeah, the baby's out. Yeah. She's wondering why somebody else is holding her daughter and you're trying to tell her you were not there for her. That's why another citizen is a bartender, a waitress, is holding a child. >> Yeah. >> Can I talk to her? >> Just give me one second. >> But I came to tell them that you guys took your friend to the bathroom in that moment. >> Who was in charge at that time? >> Look, I went with her friend and she was concerned like she >> If you just Where's her daughter? Can I make sure she's okay? >> Yeah, she's with Sergeant Benedetti. He's over there underneath your desk. Yeah, you can go over there. Okay. Thank you. Stay here. Okay. calm down. >> He's the a bartender at out at one of the tiki bars. He's ascertain he's sticking up for her saying all the time she's been with her child. She always been there. She's not drunk. She hasn't been doing anything. What happened was they were walking a drunk friend over to the bathroom. >> So, she kind of left the kids there alone thinking the two other men were going to take care of the kids while she walked the drunk friend to the bathroom. So, that's he's defending her as a bartender saying she's been with those kids all the time. This was just one of incidents. She walked away thinking that the men are going to take care of it and watch the two the two kids, you know. Now, this lady flashed a badge in my face. I didn't read it. She just wanted to [music] know what's going on. But apparently they're both friends, you know. Talk tomorrow cuz the statue has to be like 15 minutes. I have to read the statue. I haven't made one of these cases. >> I don't got a camera yet. >> Who's your friend here? The She showed me a badge. Who does she work? >> This is my friend. She comes from Texas. She became a cop. It's a big birthday. >> Uhhuh. >> I just brought her. >> She's a cop in Texas. >> Yeah. She just I just brought my kids here to have a good time. I'm not drunk. I'm not anything. If I lost sight of her for a second, then it was a second. It had nothing to do with >> But when you walked your friend, you walked your friend to the bathroom. >> No, I never went to the bathroom. I was here. I was washing them the whole time. I don't even know when the happens like >> Well, little kids, it happens quick. >> No, I know. I know. BUT I BROUGHT A BLANKET. I BROUGHT DRINKS. I bought water. Like this was our day. I don't know why I'm even here. Like, I didn't even know that was happening. I'm a good mom. Like, I've never had a felony. I've never done drugs. I've never done anything. Like, I don't even know why I'm here. You know what I mean? And I respect you. We were here at the bar and I brought them and I put sunscreen on them and everything. And I was watching them and then she came to me because my kid didn't want to like share toys with her kid or something like that. And I'm like, "Listen, I brought enough. I brought enough toys for them to play together, you know, and she's like, "Oh, okay then. It's fine." Like, whatever. My kid will share. You get me? And I'm like, "Okay." And I was watching them the whole time. I really don't know why I'm here. I I I'm like flabbergasted right here. We were literally leaving right now. I'm a single mom. We were all together. Me, him, my best friends. They came out of town for my birthday. We were all looking out for them. There's no reason for us not to look out for them. If the other lady was complaining that, hey, that's on her. I don't know. I brought toys for them. I brought water. You can check my bag. I brought sodas. I'm a good mom. I don't understand. Hey, for one that one second, maybe something happens. I don't know. We don't even drink like that. We don't drink. I'm a great mom. >> Oh my god. >> Your head above the water at least. >> Yeah. It look like she's paddling though. Oh my god. >> So, the lady that saved her wasn't her. No, just a random person in the pool with their kids. That's And then that's the other kid right there. >> And the two kids are brother sister. >> Yes. >> And how old is the little one? >> He's only five. >> She's three. >> Yes. >> I'm not a bad parent. >> You can check me. I've never had a record in my life. I'm a great mom. >> No. Yeah. >> Even seeing her holding my child is like, "What the are you doing to me?" >> Well, that's what she brought the child all the way from the beach all the way to our patrol cars. It was a second. Nobody stop. It was a second. It was a second. I promise you, we would never let anything happen to Ivy. Hey, maybe I was having a conversation with my best friend that I haven't had for a long time and I lost second for a second and I >> Okay.
