But if you're 18 and above, obviously you're considered adult. So no, she can be wherever she is. But can she be in here with us present? No. And we're not going to stay in here right now. I just obviously don't want to discuss this in front of everybody. >> I would rather be it be discussed in front of everybody else.

Um I will go over more with what exactly the charges will be when I get to the station. This officer is going to uh put you in handcuffs, come obviously pat you down. Uh she's going to transport you through the intake process when we get to the safe. When you walk into the station, I'm going to finish talking to building administration and district administration and I'll be also the parent of the child and I'll be in to talk to you when I get done with that. You have any questions for me? >> Nope. >> Okay.

I'm trying to help you out, young lady. But but but hold on, hold on. I've been nothing but cool with you. You had barely explained it. >> I I did explain to you talking about an incident in the hallway tooth. I asked [clears throat] for more details and you're like an incident in the hallway. An incident in the hallway. An incident in the hallway. I'm asking for more details. You keep saying an inc. >> Are you going to let me talk or you going to keep talking over me? >> I wasn't done talking. You were trying to cut me off, but I'm done. Don't worry about it. I'm done. >> I explained it was an incident with you dragging a kid. I stated that twice. You know exactly the answer. >> After I asked for clarification. >> Okay. And after and when I knew that. Okay. But when I knew that, I explained that to you. >> But I had to ask more. >> Okay. It doesn't matter how many times did you get the information? Did you receive the information you were looking for? I told you I was I was I was >> I was investigated an incident that I was informed of. I told you I needed to get more details. When you answer further, I told you that. So I'm going to ask you this part one more time. Having your ID will help expedite this. Do you want me to get it from your mom or would you like to sit in jail longer? >> Actually, it's in my car now that I'm thinking about it. It's not even in there. So, >> okay. >> You might want to purse in the car. So, my car. >> Does your mom have access to that? >> If she has my keys. >> Does she have your keys? >> She might. Yeah. >> Okay. >> I don't know because I let my sisters drive my car. So, I don't know if she has my keys or if my sisters took my car. >> Okay. All right. You you mind live? >> Yeah. Yeah, I was going to do that anyway. >> Oh, good. >> Yeah, just come walk. I'll walk with you, though. >> After arresting the teacher, the officer meets with the students mother, Haron, who goes on to explain her son's side of the events in terrifying detail, describing exactly what happened to him. Details that will forever shock this elementary school community. Okay, ma'am. >> Sorry about all that. Just trying to get everything squared away and hang out for Did you speak with your son? >> Yes. >> Is she okay? >> Yeah. He was saying that his arm was hurting. Um I had to um go to work, so he going to be off the bus after I'm already gone. So my daughter was there. So he was telling her what happened. When I called, she put him on the phone to tell me. >> And what did he tell you? >> Um he said that she threw him against the wall. She dragged him in class and then she kicked him in in the class. He said he don't know if she was kicking his leg um so she can shut the door. I don't know if he was not letting her shut the door or what. I don't know. So, how much if it happened in the hallway, the pulling in the other stuff, they got cameras, they should be able to see that. Um, but in the class, he said that she kicked him. >> Did he say how many times? >> No, I didn't ask none of that. She said she was kicking me. Um, so I'm trying to figure out today what happened, you know. >> Um, I was able to view the video. Um, >> is it what he say? >> Yes. Yes. >> Wow. >> Yeah. Very, very. >> She must have been upset. I don't know if upset, maybe potentially frustrated. I mean, obviously, I don't know. I didn't see much of the preceding. >> Uh I what I saw for they were standing in the hallway. Um your son, it was another kid and then I believe it was three adults. Um they were walking down, they they stopped to have a little bit of a conversation. Then for whatever reason, your son starts to run as she said. She starts running behind him. She catches up to him, >> grabs him by like the the collar of the shirt. >> Um I the way it appears obviously I'm not there. I can't hear. And you you see it, but the way it appears the momentum for catching up to him and grabbing by the shirt, I think is what actually made him fall to the ground. It's not as if she like picks them up and throws them down or, you know, does one of those motions. I think it was she was running, grabbed him, and then the mo the momentum of her trying to bring him back. I think I think he hit the ground based on that. >> But unfortunately, after he does hit the ground, she doesn't stop with him and just hold him or come right. She continues down the hallway. >> Drag him. >> Yes. By the shirt in the arm area. As of this moment, the student's mother has filed a lawsuit against the school district [music] after viewing the horrifying video footage involving her son and the teacher. Following the incident, the fourth grade teacher was charged with [music] battery and child endangerment, and she could face up to one year in prison if [music] convicted. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Yes. So the stamp that was on the back of the check, I asked him, I say, "Hey, where did you take it to?"

So, the process is I'm going to go speak with her. Um, you know, I'm hoping you'll talk to me. If not, then, um, basically she takes a ride. Um, she gets booked in. Uh, the process usually is a few hours and then she'll be able to make her phone call. She'll call you. Um, you can hook up with a bail bondsman or whoever if you know there's a bail. It's up to the court system. Again, I'm not part of that side of the house. What it is is that in their system based on the charges they have to go by a point system and they have to know okay she needs to see a judge or she can get bailed out right now. So if she needs to see a judge so you have to wait till tomorrow morning. >> If not then they'll hook up and you'll call and the bail bonds and everything that she gets released. How >> do you contact me? How is he going to contact you? >> You you have access to a phone. Yeah, you can you can contact him via phone call. >> So he cannot contact me >> in jail. Um, and that's one of those that usually if you have to stay for a long time, yes, he can make phone calls and say, "Hey, contact me." All that stuff. But I mean, I'm just saying that this most likely will be a first appearance tomorrow morning or it will be a phone call in a few hours. >> Do you know his phone number by heart? >> Yeah, I have. >> You know, you know his phone number. Okay, that's all. >> We can write a piece of paper and wait. >> I use my phone to access his number, right? >> Oh, no. Because I cannot remember his number.

Your phone number and then I'll put it in your evidence. >> Oh, can I? >> And then you'll have access to the piece of paper. >> Oh, I >> You won't be able to use the phone in jail. >> Okay. So, um she's coming with us and then number >> you want to get my number. >> Oh, pen. >> Yeah. You don't have a pen on a pen. Do you have a pin on you, sir? >> Okay. I'll uh we're going to walk out this way. Okay. >> They're down there. >> Yeah. >> Um Okay. Um like I said, I'm I'm Detective Ekus. I didn't want to get it wrong before. Did I say Sue? Is it Sue? >> How do you say it? >> Sue. >> Sue. Okay. I actually have um uh What nationality are you? >> I'm a Malaysian. >> Malaysian. Oh, okay. Well, I always confuse where that is, but um Okay. Like I said, today um I'd like to talk to you about the incident with Publix. Okay. You used to work there, correct? Um All right. So, >> so my story is when I first came here, she has a >> she has a what do you call this? Take away shop. Take away. Okay. >> Okay. >> Just a take away. >> Oh, okay. Small little restaurant. Okay. >> Maybe about 20 almost 20 years ago. >> Okay. >> So, when I first came, I just met with my very very good friend, childhood friend. So I feel like she betraying me that's why I hate Florida is >> okay >> I was I I was helping her in the you know when I first came here she have a you know the small store so I'm helping her on the second day I live in staying with her then she asked me you have to go out and look for a room >> I just came the first time in my life come to America she feel like not welcoming me asked something like not a chase not in a chase it's something like you know giving me something like um you don't say in my house that you go and look for room or whatever I said I do not mind but I do not know she just throw me a paper asked me to look for room >> I said >> I do not know it sounds best way I said I do not know who is your neighbor who how to go from your house also you asked me to look for a room I do not know where is it right >> so then finally We settle everything. Then I work in her restaurant for maybe two weeks. Then one day I was sick. I was sick. I was not feeling well. Then I feel like I wanted to go home to rest. >> So the daughter saw me not feeling well. They asked my friend is her mother to send me home. My friend said if I send her home it take 10 minutes or 20 minutes. That time I cannot remember. say is it back and forth I have to waste about maybe 40 minutes and I was so sad. >> So that's why I give you more hatred of Florida. >> Okay. >> Then >> so what moved you over here? >> My husband retired. >> Oh Mr. Liber. >> Yes. >> Okay. What did he do? >> He's a CPA in New York. >> Oh, he was a CPA in New York. >> Yeah, I ashamed him. Yeah, I know. I ashamed him. No, it it's one of those that again, like I said, I I'm sure in your own way like you had a reason for it. Okay. Um I mean what what was going on behind in bills? Like what? >> No. >> Nothing because I hate as I told you from the day three years ago when he says that he want to move over here. >> Mhm. >> Actually, we are quite okay all the time. I'm quite okay when the time that I know because every year he came here for holiday. That's fine for me. One week you go. Okay. >> I I do not like the sun. I don't like the sun. >> Okay. >> So when he come to move here from that day onwards I always not in good terms with him. I get angry. >> Okay. >> So I cannot to stop him from moving here. So I have no choice because I have no one in New York. So >> okay, >> I follow him. >> All right. >> So this a hatred of Florida. I really hate Florida. >> So okay. So >> so I cannot get actually I work in the office job all in my entire life. Actually I work in attorney office in Malaysia. >> Mhm. Then I come here I work in the office Chinese company like the home health agency office mean all office not like supermarket nothing all the while I don't like supermarket job >> okay I work in the office but I come here I cannot get a job so I have no choice because I don't like to stay at home doing nothing >> doing nothing is very boring so I said I need to get some things to go on at least I can see others >> okay So then I get the job actually until today I can tell you I don't like supermarket job. I don't like the job. I don't like Florida at all until today. >> Okay. >> So that's why I have this problem because I also don't know how I started. I do not know how I started but because I was so angry. I don't know because you know customer think me go back to China. Go back where you come from. You Chinese people carry co Maybe to you. >> Somebody said that to you. >> A lot of customer. >> A lot of customers they said that to you. >> Yes. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Even though when I first time I was in BA, it's not a customer. It's a residence. Okay. I think the the man who stay in the same building. >> I said go back to go back to China. >> Okay. >> So I'm very angry. I said I shout at him. >> Yeah. >> Then after that I move here. I still go in the same supermarket. I have more people to say that. >> Mhm. >> Go back to China. Go back to don't touch my stuff. You people carry it. >> Maybe to you. I talk to you said just let people go off right. But to me >> I feel very very hurt. Oh, very much. I I believe me, I with statements like that, I'm sure it made you very angry. >> Yes, I feel very very hurt, >> especially [clears throat] I was in the self checkup. >> Mhm. >> Okay. I kind of look people say, "Why look at me? Why this [clears throat] one? Why that one?" >> Sometimes I try to help a customer. Don't touch my stuff. I have customer a lot. Not one, two, three. >> That's very hurt. >> As I said, maybe to you, you don't feel hurt because you have a lot of Chinese people to tell you this one. >> It's not I mean, it's not so much that again like I completely understand that. I I do not agree at all, any statements, hurtful hatred, all that, you know, like the whole co thing. And it's not >> I don't get it in New York but maybe the time I take a bus I take a train maybe until the morning these people don't come out and say something to me but I do not know maybe now New York I do not know >> those people are disgusting for saying things like that >> so that's why I said people here should be you know call it's not from Chinese people and we don't know from >> yeah so why accumulate because I'm the only Chinese there [clears throat] >> so it's really really hurt me. I did tell my supervisor sometime just said just forget about it. >> Yeah. So they didn't really help you. >> So to them maybe they feel that you know everybody complain about you and me complain you complain me complain me. There's so many she said why you want to take it into take it. I said then I said I don't say anything but I said maybe I'm a bit too sensitive because maybe some other people they said ah in out but to me I really take it I really take it because as I told you from the very beginning I don't like Florida >> I don't like to work in the supermarket but this is only choice >> I get to work >> so it was the anger and every so was it like those customers that you go behind and take get the receipt. >> Yes. >> So the ones that made you angry >> once I get a receipt I get something maybe I feel like a bit like console console or maybe I feel I don't know what to say. Uh means feel a little bit >> like even the score. >> How can I say something? I feel like maybe I feel a little bit happy. I can maybe I can say that something I don't know the right words. Maybe I can feel a little bit happy or whatever because [clears throat] >> as a to even though I told my husband every day I hate Florida even >> he doesn't want to move back. >> So he say you want to move back we divorce this and that this and that. Of course he's not threatening me to say he didn't threaten me anything. >> Mhm. that maybe this feel that I really hate or maybe for me like I'm get crazy for doing that. >> Well, I mean, so again, so you were angry and then you you take the receipt and you get the items >> and then um you would you return them right then? >> Yeah. >> And I get >> it was on your credit card. Uh sometime gift cards. >> Oh, you get gift cards. >> Yeah. >> Okay. But you put it back on your your credit card the for the receipt. >> Few item only. >> A few items. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Few.

Do you mind just telling us kind of a synopsis of what occurred and how you guys came about finding and identifying? >> Yeah. uh she was caught because she was um she'd go in and she'd reprint receipts and you can see where she a customer would leave and then she'd go behind the customer and reprint the receipt of that customer's purchase. >> Okay. >> So, and then she would So, she do the reprint. There's her getting the reprint. And then she'd go to different stores. >> Okay. and she'd go and she'd find those items on those receipts. >> Right. So, this is her in the store. >> This is her Yeah. at a store, another store. 1749. And she would go through and look for what's on the receipts. She would select what's on the receipts and then she would um put them in a bag and uh and steal that product that's on those receipts. So she put them in the in the Publix bags. >> So she wouldn't pay for them while she was there. She'd walk out. >> Yeah.

She'd use those receipts. >> Okay. >> And she would do refunds. and she put those refunds on her personal credit card. So, what caused the what was on the investigation was that our corporate uh there was a there's a program that's able to search for certain things and it saw where there was one credit card that got a significant amount of refunds uh like multiple throughout like a full day. Uh so the investigation started and then started backtracking to when those purchases were made of those uh returned items and we found out that uh Miss was the one who was uh causing the loss to Publix by reprinting the receipts, >> reshopping those receipts at different stores and then returning them for um money on her credit card. >> Okay. >> All right.
