now Sierra day 24 years old and her boyfriend Deontay Lewis 27 were both found guilty this afternoon of charges that include aggravated murder and child endangering and the death of 4-year-old annah day Garrett then came the disturbing photos showing the condition in which authorities found anayia the four-year-old weighed a mere 28 lbs and likely died before she made it to the hospital I think it's just the overall evidence was it was clearcut um the photos obviously were horrendous um and just the ongoing pattern of abuse uh over a long period of time okay so we don't have much longer here okay spend enough time here I need you to understand something okay do you know what you're going to be charged with when I take you back over to the jail what do you think you're going to be charged with I don't know I don't know nothing about the charges never been you're going to be charged in your daughter's death H you're going to be charged with her death what you mean she passed away she was dead when you guys called us she was already dead what is dead she's dead DA's reaction to ania's death is underwhelming and it doesn't look like she is TR truly surprised by the news Sierra she was dead for hours before you called 911 speak for your daughter tell us what happens he just woke up I'm speaking when we woke up he just said did you did you smell something that's all he said it was who that we had smoke when do you think she died I didn't know you think she died no she was still breathing she wasn't breathing she dead for hours you know how I understand how I know that Sierra I don't I'm not a doctor who do you think who do you think determines how long how long that person's been dead I don't know doctors yeah doctors but not just any doctor the kind of doctor who specializes in examining the bodies of of deceased people okay so someone with a specialty in death investigation a medical doctor a forensic pathologist absolutely without a doubt she was dead when you called us and for hours before that what was going on in those hours before you called us she was in the bed Deontay woke me up and said Bae cuz Ana was good she was breathing if she wasn't breathing breathing she was breathing I had on the tub cuz I had to wash her up when did you have her in the tub I had her in the tub after she booed when was I told her she said mommy can you lay me down I'm sleepy I'm tired when Sunday what time on Sunday I don't remember time you just sting my how long before you called us did the bath happen the bath wasn't that so she was already dead when you gave her a bath oh she wasn't dead Ana was alive sit up well that's not the day before that's not what Deontay tells us the detective is lying today to get her to confess Lewis maintained throughout his interrogation that Ania was alive what does NE telling you well he tells us she's dead when you gave her a bath she she told you she was dead when you gave her a bath did you guys decide together to be her after you knew she was dead whose idea was she was up whose idea was it to bathe her both of us it was both of ours you decided together to bathe her yes okay and she was responsive she wasn't responsive she was responsive she wasn't talking she was just saying mommy I was sleepy said kids don't say that you're young okay you're overwhelmed tell me when you started feeling like this I feel like what like overwhelmed I've been feeling the I'm a young mother okay I try my best okay deonce came along to try to help out I was a single mother before Deon you don't have to do this anymore you don't you don't have to play a game with me you don't have to stick to this lie I'm not sticking to no lie I'm not sticking to no it's okay it's okay I'm not it's I'm not sticking to no Li when Deontay came along did things change with you and Ania she I told her she started acting weird after when cuz I was I was single for so long okay I told him that how did he how did he react to having to have a four-year-old involved with him everywhere you guys went Deontay I don't know if he took just took initiative to be be there just to be with me or my daughter and I told one did tell me before I don't like noodles but he never did nothing to harm her to say that you knew she was dead when you called us oh I did not you did training in early childhood education you I just thought she wasn't responsive yeah recent CPR training we we we know I just thought she was responsive I I didn't know my child was dead I thought it I thought it I thought that it was something that the paramedics can do I thought that it was something no no hell no I didn't think my daughter was there I just thought she wasn't responsive when was the last time you saw her responsive in the tub how many hours before you called us did you have her in the tub she wasn't in the tub for so long she wasn't in the tub that long how many hours before you called us was did it wasn't that long she laid down for a little bit then I got her back up and then I know that she wasn't breathing she just fell out you you have one one last opportunity and I want you to understand okay you're not going home you're being charged with this okay your cooperation could go a long way we're going to charge you regardless so withholding information for me it's not going to stop me from charging you okay you have an opportunity here to be honest with me I'm not judging you okay I want to understand what led to this help me understand I don't know it could have been Deon an I not liking Deontay I don't know did that put you in a position where you felt resentful toward Ania sometimes what you mean resentful you said that he said it could have been Deonte yeah and I not liking him what did that trigger he whooped my daughter before he what he whooped before he whooped her there are no Witnesses who ever saw Lewis punishing Ania day's family said that she was in charge of discipline day is feeling trapped and she is willing to sacrifice Lewis right now on my patreon you can watch one of the most disturbing scenes ever recorded on an interrogation room surveillance camera It's a combination of desperation and carelessness that resulted in something incredibly shocking this video is not suitable for sensitive viewers as it is extremely unsettling you won't find it on YouTube but you can watch it and many more exclusive videos on patreon.com/crashcourse he was about how old was she at the time four okay did you feel comfortable telling him not to discipline her that way were you afraid he would leave if you told him to stop yes no he told me he know I think you're ready to tell me how this happened speak for her Sierra what do you mean speak just explain to me how this happened because we know what she didn't follow I did fall we heard a bump okay so we started whooping her when you guys R Harbor Crest how long is he still whooping her now he'll get angry what do he do when he gets angry he just grabbed her and put her in a bed when was that a couple of times when was the most recent time he did a hor Quest a couple of times the way he [ __ ] my child I didn't like it I told him I didn't like it he said it to get her to act act better before I start dating Deontay Ana was a normal kid Deontay came along I just noticed a change T night she was acting weird anil's condition did worsen when day began to date Lewis but that isn't when it started whenever Ania spoke of being hurt She only mentioned her mother Lewis was likely aware of what was going on and bears at least that much responsibility and the first time i' let him whoop an he left some right here he left what he was a mark in the back of her he left right there yeah sent a dead dad dad called 4 days later said something my brother took the blame cuz he knew might probably would flip on Deontay I told Deontay he came with my child no more and he was like that's just a discipliner cuz she doesn't listen he used to discipline her putting her arms up something that I never did cuz I know a I start acting weird I have a I have a doll that we use to to help with KES like these I understand it's it's more of like a an infant size than she is but if I get it can you show me what you're talking about do you know where it is sp yeah I'm going to take up her handcuffs so that when you bring it back in she can show us okay to relax okay I don't judge you I need you to just just relax are you okay my door is De okay but I mean you and I are working together right now when did this happen where your brother was it your twin brother no my brother your brother who my brother and he took the blame for injuries on annia when was that this was a couple of months ago we was in the store or whatever yeah NAA has a little temper she gets mad when she don't get her away okay na was NE right and went home from The storees and she knocked everything over and he whooped her and after he got down whooping around noers it was a little Mark on her yeah and I told him to stop okay cuz he told me that we probably make her act right never once he to build up to never want put my hand on and I noticed and I noticed it Chang cuz what I didn't do he did do but I felt like Deontay wasn't trying to be harmless he was just telling me maybe she act right maybe she stop doing this did I did I fit afraid yes I did because it's my daughter and I never once whooped her and I know a night looked at me weird very weird cuz I never whooped my daughter never discipline her I was always C call not saw mother I I just never discipline her were you in the store when Deontay whipped her he wasn't in the store wait till we got home okay and I didn't like to speak to him that made it m did you find it okay you so we understand that annia is bigger than this but you you started to say something about putting her hands at okay so where beon brought it to my conclusion because I never did nothing with her okay and this okay so the first whooping is which one right here okay and where where was Ania sitting or standing when it standing standing okay go ahead just had her arms and he just whooping her and he like this to get her the act right and he told her to go to the bed she went to the bed okay was he holding her up off the ground while he was whooping her yeah okay so it wasn't like he was holding her and she was on the ground he was holding her up she was moving her feet weren't touching the ground okay and he was whooping her with what a Bel a belt okay his Bel his own belt okay and that was a couple months ago couple it's amazing how quickly day was willing to turn on Lewis as soon as she realized she was facing charges oddly enough Lewis refused to admit that day did so much as spank Ania okay and then which of your brothers took the blame for it ER Johnson Eric how old's Eric 25 who did he um tell that he did it he told her dad is Mel or Michael however it's pronounced is he friends with Eric used to not not too much just a little bit what did you guys say to Eric to convince him to lie he didn't want to do it he just didn't want Deontay to be in no trouble with my baby daddy cuz my baby daddy told me he didn't want no dude around my child okay so did you guys have to make up that story after the dad Michael found the mark on annaya yeah I know I never put my hands on my child that's what I was weird towards him is that when you started kind of limiting his visits kante whed her again so he wouldn't see it Michael was always busy he was always too busy okay and when did come and then when he did get a Nia he barely kept her for real so sounds like you've struggled as a single mom without a lot of help from Michael is that right he had two kids and when I was with Michael teron Garett I will have a night and I will have a son a Michael is a music artist he will be out doing his music so you're not only taking care of your child with Michael you're taking care of his child that he has with another woman MH and when I was and I was in my stomach I watched Isaiah for him Michael was very focused on his music he never had time for an neither his son I was always stuck with an multiple Witnesses say this was not the case and that Garrett was active in the lives of both of his children Garrett had gone to the police about days treatment of Ania and had actively been seeking custody which is hardly the actions of a dis interested father it is very telling that day says that she was stuck with her own daughter that's difficult what before I had an ni her dad was putting his hands on me while I was pregnant with her where did you guys live then going through a lot with my parents we was at his friend's house did you make a police report police report for what for when he put his hands on you when you were pregnant with Ania first time I did no I didn't you did not okay so there's no report of that okay you you started to say something about Deontay putting her arms up what is that about I didn't dis her at all I just talked to the Deon came to the conclusion to put her arms up like this and I could see fear in her eyes that she hated it and she looked at me like Mommy you never done this with me it was a way that he told me to discipline her and I like how long was she made to hold her arms up like that until he told her to put him down all right so can you stand up and show me what what she was made to do not understanding fully and where were her arms touching anything no she had to hold them up in the air M was she against the wall no standing in the middle of the room MH and how did you know that her arms were getting tired she would do this okay would her arms start to shake you know how like when your muscles get tired she just she just keep putting them down okay and what would happen to her when she put her arms down I give herly weight I just tell them to put in the bed what would he do when she put her arms down maybe let her keep it up for a little bit more she learn I never started this I never started he also did a pushup position how long did they make her all the push-up position well I don't let him do it for long because I could tell her arms just get tired how could you tell her arms were getting tired she was shaking and how recently um was she made to go down in the push-up position whenever he felt like she should it's March 12th did it happen this month March of 2018 did it happen in February of 2018 no stopped it when did the arms up um putting her arms up as punishment when was the last time she was made to do that staying in har staying har Crest okay so you stayed there for two years was it I was there for two years and it was like but but he's only been there since July you tell us so when's the last time she was made to put her arms up as punishment I don't remember I just know I stopped it cuz I know she didn't like it and I felt like it wasn't going nowhere okay the more day tries to portray Lewis as a monster the more it sounds as if she is making things up to place all the blame on him and when was the last time she was made to do a push-up or stay in a push-up position she was it more recently than you've told me it's March right now this month no it wasn't in March and it was in February okay what discipline has she been made to do since you guys have moved to cultural Gardens I stopped it I wasn't disciplined stopped all discipline yes I didn't like it okay so besides putting the arms up push up position pushup position striking her with the belt what other what other forms of punishment were being used on Ana that was it cuz I wasn't doing nothing okay I need you explain to me look open your eyes I wasn't this okay it's it's not you okay this my okay okay can you look at me I notice it Chang are you all right I notice it change in my come around okay okay Sierra can you look at me I don't know why you're avoiding looking at me but I want you to understand that right now we're we're working together on this okay you're helping me understand what what happened to anayia okay go ahead after Deontay whooped an he was whooping her really bad on her back side okay first time he did it she was really crying real bad so that made me walk in the room and I told him to stop M and I believe after that I let her dad see or whatever that's when her that mention that and I just trying to figure out what to say my brother was like you might as well just say I did it because he's going to come after Deontay he just said Eric was like just tell Michael that I whooped her so I did that after that I don't know what month it was he whooped her again really bad and it caused I felt like she start prolonging not to walk after he whooped her and I no she didn't want to walk why where was her injury it was at haror press and I on her body where was she whooped he whooped her again right here I got the bottom part and I noticed okay so this is an anomally correct doll but if this was the waste in these robtics is she getting what on her back or on her butt and on the legs part oh so on her back butt and legs leg part and to the front and on her front as well mhm on her torso arms or legs this part she was moving around her legs and what is she being struck with a belt a belt okay so you tell me about that tell me more about that after the whooping a night sto walking when was that when did she stop walking I don't know it happened in har plus and I noticed a more change in her when Deontay would come around she as if she was scared of him cuz I had this conversation she it's like if she was afraid of them and I was just trying to hide it I was just trying to hide it because I like deonce a lot so I just I let it prolong and I know I was wrong as a mother to let him want my child cuz I never did yeah and I start walking and I felt like she was walk she she can walk she did it around me when Deon came around it's like she a fake like she was dead she a fake like as if she was scared of him okay and he noticed he said when she's around you she like different she doesn't speak to him she told me several times she didn't like NOS okay this this Mark on her leg here I like we see these these Burns which we'll get to later but you know what caused this Mark here cuz you're talking about being whooped on her legs and I'm just wondering if this Mark here was caused by one of those whooping do you know have you seen marks like this on her after Wen no I never whooped in night but you're saying you saw Deontay whooping her and then and that it hit her in the legs and back and torso everywhere did did you ever see marks Did the belt cause injury I really just thought that came from the um body wash okay but I mean there obviously was visible injury at some point because you got a Mark that you know about go ahead I'm trying to take up for my might as well SP the beans yeah don't take up he noticed an I start acting very weird M I let him whoop she she wasn't a bad child she didn't she didn't listen when I didn't get her away she did throw T time TRS or whatever yeah Deontay figured to get her act right to whoop her so when he whooped her I walked out the room and the way she was screaming it made me walk back in her room and he stopped and an act like she couldn't walk so when he whooped her again she walks or whatever and then days after that an just start I guess an wasn't used to the whop or the discipline or whatever na just told me I don't like noodles Mommy I don't like noodles i l past it cuz she was a kid I feel like a night prolong it start it happened to her arrest I feel like she prolong not to walk and to act different or towards us because of the discipline the whooping I after that one buil thing when he whooped her it was Mark's left we argu cuz I never left bruise on my child and I just felt like it was fear and an I felt like she was scared of Deontay is what I told him I felt like my child was scared of him so her being scared when he came around she prolonged not to speak to him she was just she just act different like one day I had doing her homework she's very smart she was doing it when Deontay walked there she just acted like she was [ __ ] like she didn't want to do it as if she's just afraid to do stuff around Deontay prong to the reason why she's acting like that week or two did her like this and Sh her and said maybe she'll start walking day comes up with story after Story of Lewis mistreating Ania the detective is allowing her to make as many mistakes as possible before we move forward I want to extend my thanks for watching this video today has no sponsor so if you're enjoying it subscribing helps the channel grow you can also check out my second Channel stranger crimes after this video I said this happened just recently yes about two weeks ago I stood back I tapped him I'm like baby don't she can call the seizure he said baby maybe she'll get back to walking maybe she getting back to acting right I said no baby it's going to scare her more and I could have stopped it as mother but I was just so busy listening to Deon okay my brothers noticed the change in night too she start acting weird when deont came around I didn't notice that she was acting herself oh my God told him I thought she was afraid of so you just showed me how he picked her up by her feet turned her upside down and shook her he told me it will make it better it'll make what better I heard her walk right I heard her star back talking heard back she wasn't walking or talking anymore after he whooped her she prolonged not to walk I let it happen [Music] so couple weeks ago you s you're right say couple weeks ago you saw him turn her upside down okay it's in my new apartment in your new apartment and you said that um at that time sh she wasn't walking and talking she stopped walking when he start whooping her I wasn't putting her arms up I wasn't putting her in Pusher position I never whooped a ni and I felt like a Nia was looking at me like my mom number did this stuff maybe if I prolong to do this he won't do nothing and it didn't work she still didn't work and I felt like she was afraid did he make you discipline her to to show him that you would discipline her or how did that go what you mean like were you refusing to discipline your own daughter only thing I did was put her in time out told her no okay I never believed in I mean I believe in displine but I never believed in discipline a child if that makes sense never had to do that with a KN she wasn't a child at all she would be a normal child a lot of kids don't listen my I know my daughter start acting weird when he came around okay when we can start when the whooping stuff when a child see a difference they act weird okay and said the same thing I could have stopped it you could have stopped like I told him yeah she would still be walking to this day she would still being L to this day who did you tell that to him who's him deonce you told him if if you to it she'd still be alive like if I never put her in push position D makes another mistake if she told Lewis that she could have prevented her daughter's death then why did she pretend she thought she was still alive and F fake shock when the detective told her otherwise I really felt like the belt whooping really did it yeah he was it was it was a real whoop yeah and she prolonged it she wasn't used to getting disciplined by me I never disciplined her did you discipline her because Deontay told you to or I just did it just cuz he did it yeah I [Music] just I didn't know what the hell I didn't know I just did it cuz he did it I watched him walk walk no no walk and I said don't do her like that I said don't do her like that and I play her M her back on the bed baby she ain't going to never started walking I said baby she stop walking when you start whooping her her father got pissed off when he saw the mark like no I never I know people see a difference cuz I never left my Mark I know people know something was going on I always had my child around my people it was a change when I started at him his discipline wasn't like my discipline and it was my fault cuz I let him do it cuz that was my child but I'm young I was I'm dating making up lies because he's my dude I'm that you're starting to understand what a bad decision that was coming in here knowing you're telling me a lie I need to understand you said a couple weeks ago he started with the Turning her upside down and shaking her right and I knew it would lead to a seizure or whatever brain I never I never disciplined annia annia was she was getting just everything that she wanted and he felt like that could have been the reason why she don't speak to him or she just do certain stuff that a kid would do that not listen sometimes thr attention not want to speak but he was the first person that she never spoke to though yeah I knew my right hand of God I knew it was a change when I dat him yeah but I lied because I was dating deont I like deont so I took it and I know it's a lot of mothers that take stuff when people do stuff to their kids they just lie and byass it sure oh he ain't do it I'll let him do it he looked at me crazy baby she start walking she stopped walking when he whoop her she looked at me mommy you don't do this and I don't her father everybody knew it was something yeah I hit it members of your family asking you telling

why are you carrying a four-year-old I cared her and get raised that girl for three or 4 days I said deonce I can't keep doing this I can't keep doing this records show that Ania had not been to daycare for quite some time before her death and that day left her with Lewis I told Deontay he said the baby get better her walk prolonged after that it prolonged she prolonged like to walk she continued not walking that's what you're saying okay so I said when I get my taxes I'm going to pay my rent up so I can stay home with her cuz I didn't want her to be nobody else care but my care okay I let this [ __ ] happen my daughter is dead right now I let this happen I I couldn't prevent it but I did she was afraid she always told me she didn't like noodles she told my brother I don't like noodles yeah people going to cuss me out you should have listened to her but it was I like that Deon I just listened to him she best believe she just start acting weird after a whooping he did it twice he he shook her he choked her har pruss and he told her to act right so he's up by her neck off the ground yes he made her hold a chair he made her hold a chair can you show me how he made her hold the chair made I want a chair like this what kind of a chair are we talking about a chair in my house chair is it a child siiz chair or a regular chair is it in those pict it's an in it's an infant chair it should be okay and he told me let her whole books and I told him no I felt like toward Deon I being soft on her you thought you were being soft on her mhm why because you let him convince you that this is the kind of eating she needed this is the only child chair I see in the pictures it was this one that one do you know which chair it is oh there's another fold out chair it was our chair this one that's under the princess chair made her he made her hold in a living room okay we have okay did the chair ever hit her or fall on her no no no you made her hold it all right can you Circle the chair in the photo just write in the margin or somewhere up here that this is the chair that she was made to hold as punishment or whatever in your own words can you write that for me I could stop it I could have stopped listen I could I'm L acting like this so you wrote here my dude made child hold chair and you're talking about Deon Deontay having made Ania hold this chair how long did he make her hold up for disc how long did he make her hold it up I just I made stop after a while because did she drop the chair from exhaustion did it fall on her it wasn't it wasn't a heavy chair but still made her stop I wasn't used to the discipline so we have her I was just wondering if maybe a chair falling out is what caused this injury no this happened at harbest the eye injury happened at Harbor Crest no her holding up the chair and when he did Place her in the tub it wasn't gentle right every time he would do something I just go in there run he like baby she's okay she's good she's faking and ID be like if she is faking you can't do no harm or damage towards her I hear a boom or two and he just was the tub empty when he was throwing her in it yeah then he put the water he just okay baby I'm not doing nothing baby I'm not doing nothing what were you showing me what you show me that again this is him picking up just Place her in the tub and I hear like a little bam or a boom and I just walk in there and I just look over him in fear like this like I this is nothing that I never done [Music] MH he's putting her in an empty tub and you're saying not gently do you remember I know I know you remember it I know you hav wanted to talk about it but I think it's time how how her left eye got injured can you can you tell me about that I just thought he came off when he placed her in the tub and just put her down in the tub I mean he every time he would grab her out the bed oh that was reing how he carried her around the house place her down and say baby I'm not Haring her and I'll be like I know you're not trying to M this get her act right basically and after prolong for so long I felt like an is going to Pro prolong it for so long because if she felt like she walk it's going to happen again so she like was playing dead you think to avoid being hurt by just playing like she was hurt yeah because she wasn't used to the whooping and the discipline so she prolong her to be hurt when did she stop talking it's not that she stopped talking she talk but she wouldn't say a full conversation she wouldn't talk unless you said something to her as if she was just thinking as if she was just sitting there thinking to plan to not be here and I knew it you think she wished herself dead because she was in so much pain and fear yeah you do I knew was I just the way she was acting yeah I want to just be like d say just stop it's not working just be normal but I didn't say nothing and I don't know why I didn't say nothing I guess I just say nothing because I know deont was my dude but I know people look at me weird like you're the mother yeah I'm young she's my first child okay I could have stopped it you could have stopped it I could have sto the working I feel like brought her here we could have got you some help I told him you could have been honest when children Family Services called you right what did you make up when they when they contacted you in in May what kind of stories for you guys were you making up D has to tread carefully here since the claims were made against her an Ania specifically said she was the one hurting her you right she didn't have no bruises on her she didn't have any bruises no that's the reason why the lady Liv okay she had a something on the right side of her head and near swollen with dried blood on it back in May so there definitely was a mark went to okay well that's not what you said that back in May children friend service came out twice yeah besides may when what other time did they come out they came out recently cuz I felt like my baby daddy was mad that I placed a firee restrain orderers so he called 696 kids M and when she came out everything was good she checked my refrigerator MH the reason why I feel like they really came off is because the mark that Deontay left cuz that's what Michael had mentioned okay so you're talking about a time that's more recent than may I was originally talking about back in May of 2017 back in May 696 was called because an had a scratch in her head that I wasn't even aware of okay and she has something right here her head that came from when we was at the park and she fell she had on Sand okay so you were showing me right now we know that annia has a terrible bruised swollen shut eye with a laceration right here on the brow noodles so show me how that how that injury happened picked her up out of the bed by her foot either he grab her like this okay or either he would do this what did she strike her head on when she got this this he did when he got her out the tub I mean when he put placed her in the tub I noticed I wasn't in a bathroom at the time but i' be on the couch and I just hear Boom yeah de has changed her story from both of them going into check on Ania to just Lewis why would a mother who is worried her child was sick allow her boyfriend to go check on her alone or I see him carrying out the room like this and he just Place her real hard he just plac her real hard I like bab you got to be gentle you got to be gentle I did notice something right here but I feel like going to get big but that was basically the routine that he would do he would just grab out the bed or he do this or if she's not really responding he just do this and I just be standing there and I be like bab stop cuz it can cause a seizure baby maybe she started to walk it maybe she started doing that I said I know I is not going to start the work walking cuz she don't she doesn't like what's being done yeah so you're you're saying that this injury that she has on her head right now is caused by him picking her up by the foot or arm and dropping her into the empty bathtub just placing her in the bathtub okay and you said he doesn't beat up gently would you be willing to show me with the Dell how forcefully you think ania's head hit the tub when this injury happened I just don't hesitate to show me what what it really was like how much force with when you do place her on the tub is just you just Place her on the tub like that and every time I would come in and say something like they just just stop or when I place an eye in a tub I place an ey like this gentle okay I felt like in noodle eyesight I was being I was being as if if I be sweet to her she's not going to listen and I just have been so weird after that whing it's it's just seemed like everything changed I feel like the 696 can't get came out because of that well we're going to go over some history with Children and Family Services okay because yes they've been out a couple times since deon's been in the picture right and have you ever been honest with them when they've been investigating about all the injuries have occurred when she came out to the door she just said and I's been hit like a man or whatever and I said no she's not until my head I knew my baby daddy caught because we already had this talk about this right here cuz he had sent the picture to my phone sure and immed was in the car my brother Eric was like I just take the blame and my dude that's when he started apologizing to me and I'm like baby you got to be gentle with her you got to be gentle with her I'm like I don't whoop a and people know I don't whoop her with a f so it don't look suspicious my the found out that noodles did do it he was ready to fight him and not stopped him which brother was ready to I just said a few words to him so we have before we go on um the the marks on her legs SRA I had a lot of experience you know I know they're not Johnson and Johnson are you ready to tell me what they are you're doing good you can tell me I just used John I don't know where it could have came from I don't know if it could have came from her not she something would you are you going to be honest with me about she didn't get burnt I feel like it came from her not eating as much or and I I don't know she could have been stressing what did it look like before it was that open raw red wound I thought she had like aerg reaction I I I I assume I'm like maybe it's something I washed her up with I I assume that okay so you're not tell me about that I really don't know where the marks came from okay shower cold water she showers in cold water he would tell me to turn cold water on so you'd put the cold water on and put her in the shower like that and I felt like it could have been that but then he said it couldn't he just running on her legs I don't I don't he would run the cold water on her legs yeah for like 5 or 10 minutes just be like maybe she sto acting right oh she you know I guess a cold water can cause something like a frostbite do you think that is that when the mark started showing up after exposing her to the really cold water water how long of a period of time did you say the water was running cold on her the wounds were not caused by cold water but the detective is trying to move day in the direction of the truth 10 minutes and when he said that will probably wake her up 10 minutes okay and probably make her walk okay so if he's trying to wake her up and make her walk this is recent right this is at cultural Gardens yeah you just start putting did the skin blister first before it peeled off I noticed when I got out the tub yeah her skin was filling and I said you think it's cuz of the water cold water that been on her leg he was like no it couldn't come from that I said that's the only thing I can think of MH because it was running on for like 10 minutes and it's cold water would he put her in the tub empty and tell you to turn on the cold water he just turned it on was she with her clothes on or was she naked she didn't have no clothes on so she'd be standing naked in the tub he just told me that that probably would work that make her star back to walking oh okay and I knew it wasn't I just knew in my heart a KN was going to prolong not to walk and and then after a minute she started taking the cold water what do you mean taking it as he just let it run on her she got numb to it you think she she stop reacting to it she basically St reacting to it and just start getting used to it like she didn't let her bother her okay did that make him mad because she wasn't and when I would place to put the c um water back on warm or whatever or in between is if is is as if I was being soft basically did so I stopped it okay so you stopped you didn't want her to think you were soft I didn't want my daughter to think that I was doing nothing to abuse her because I never did that he was just trying to get her ways back to walk and I told him you led it to this point I told him told him a couple days I'm like you let it to this point I said a night has never acted like this until you start coming around until I just let you work her she start acting so look [ __ ] weird yeah so looking back on the last couple days I know when you came in here you said you were lying for your man and whatever so you're being more honest with me now but I'm wondering when is the first time that you realized that annia was dead be honest I didn't know I just thought she stopped breathing okay when was the first time was it Saturday night no it was Sunday it was Sunday it was Sunday it was in the it was in the bed what time morning I called you guys around like 4ish I think yes closer to 4 and I realized it around like two so you realized a couple hours before you called us that just look at her stomach and I'm like baby is she breathing is she breathing and I see her eye open he told me that her eye move and I didn't see it move he was like baby I saw her eye move yeah she's alive she's prolonged to fake I was very concerned I'm like and I is not breathing cuz I kept going back and forth forth into the room why didn't anybody call 911 when you first realized she wasn't breathing cuz we just thought she was breathing and I noticed she wasn't she she's bony you notice what she's bony bony and I noticed when I was looking at her stomach I'm like is she Brea I thought she was but then I knew I was wrong and I when I was touching her she wasn't a normal she wasn't a normal like a normal she was cold basically was she wasn't warm yeah when did you notice that she was stiff we woke her up try to wake her up yeah I knew something was wrong with my heart yeah I couldn't sleep I I was tossing and turning I couldn't sleep I I left my job I was stressing when I left my job yeah I said Deontay this is not your child you can leave whenever you want to and this can be on me and you was the cause of it is what I told him yeah and he said baby I'm not going to leave you because I know I was the cause of it Lewis never placed the blame on day but he also never accepted any guilt it seems more than a little strange that after treating Ania that way and disregarding days protests that he would suddenly change his attitude and place the blame on himself he was like I should have thought I shouldn't have red her I should never did this cuz that's when she started prolonging it okay I was basically just listening to him cuz I thought it ain't no thought I knew he wasn't going to be right I just let him do it do and she looked at me as if she knew under she just looked at me as if mommy you don't do this to me and I let him he knew and I knew she started acting weird after her the way he whooped her was was hard she never spoke to him she would just talk to me and he be like she don't want to speak I'm like no she don't like what you doing and I let her prong I could have stopped the shaking I could have stopped the way she pic he picked her up I knew what Nia was looking at me totally different she's forward but she's very smart yeah so I'm going to make a timeline with you because I know what she's told me so far I know you came in here trying to tell a story and you've admited you've been honest and said that that wasn't accurate okay so I'm going to go back did you guys really go to lot Red Lobster on Thursday no nobody went to Red Lobster he was trying to think of something okay and I knew I should have brought her to the hospital when she was losing like I knew that yeah I do CPR yeah I knew I should took her to the hospital yeah you should have before when she stopped walking I didn't because when you whooped her Wass on her legs on our legs okay all right so let's just go back a few days and let get out my calendar here okay we're at the 12th now and it's Sunday I'm sorry it's it's Monday the 12th okay so we're just going to go backwards okay Sunday the 11th Saturday the 10th Friday the 9th Thursday the 8th we'll go back a whole week okay you repeating that okay we'll go all the way back to last Monday

just be he just be like baby you can't sleep I said how can the mother sleep knowing her child is not really her child is not you know what I mean it's not really after herself I couldn't sleep I always woke up early in the morning playing music just thinking she basically Us in the bed while you're we try to before she prolonged not to really eat whatever she'll sit up she'll watch TV and her arm will be like this her arm would be like that it would just be like that what's it like that part I don't know if she was faking it cuz she holding her arm as if it was her it was like this and then when we put her in the bed she' go back to normal so he like she's faking I'm like well I don't know maybe she's faking I never dealt with this with anay okay I just tried to do stuff I tried to do stuff to make her go back to her normal self brought her shoes Tred to give her candy pop or whatever to see it cuz kids like candy or whatever it didn't help didn't help okay she still prolonged to do not be active she she prolonged it not to be a kid to not be do normal stuff and and is is that why the mattress smells like er did she just lay in the bed and and pee in it not wed to get out not want to move she really didn't go to the bathroom she stopped saying she She nor an would normally go to the bathroom she stopped going to the bathroom when I started dating Deon you mean she stopped using the toilet she stopped using the toilet okay she would start peeing on myself okay and I thought it was not normal sure so I just wipe the bed up clean it give her a bath wash her hair bther basically I will make sure she's fed mhm so going back to Sunday yesterday which is when you called us so earlier you said you were Sleepless laying on the couch knowing your child is not eating or walking okay so that's some time before 4: but at what time what time was it when you first knew that she was day keeps going off on tangents to make it sound as if she cared for Ania and the detective has to keep redirecting the conversation when I got up she check time did you get up and he was still lay here and he was still what L here and I said I don't think she's breathing what time was that I got up I I believe I got up early checking I noticed she was just she was just laying the bed I'm like is the Sun up already it was wrong like it was early cuz I couldn't sleep and I got up 6: a.m. 7: a.m. 8:00 a.m. how early is early for you I'm like 9 9:00 a.m. okay and when I got up he was like baby you can't sleep and I'm like how can you sleep knowing you had to leave your job cuz your daughter was acting weird and you didn't want nobody to notice how weird she was acting going normal to weird mhm so I went in to check on her cuz I I I I just didn't feel right I didn't feel like something was right right so when I went in the room I just noticed the way you had it the way she was in the picture the way she was laying yeah and I did this and I'm like baby I'm not for sure if she's breathing or not I did this and I thought I felt some air okay he was just like well I saw cuz we walked into the kitchen he was like I saw her blink I'm like she didn't blink on me she just had that one eye open yeah I knew something was wrong that's why I couldn't eat my Chipotle I couldn't do nothing cuz I know something was wrong with with my child yeah and I said I'm going have to call the police cuz she's not breathing what can I do yeah so we notice she wasn't breathing she did smell weird like piss or whatever put her in the tub mhm washed her up yeah I washed her up so gra to put a pull-up on her put her socks and pants and stuff on yeah I'm like baby I'm going try to do CPR I started doing this and I just that's all I kept hearing took her laid her on the couch yeah he's like I'll hold her I'm like no I'll hold her I cared her for N9 and a half months I tried to put mouth to mouth and it still wasn't working and I knew something was wrong yeah cuz after you do certain something like that normally somebody would come back and I prolonged to try to do it I said baby we got to call an ambulance there's nothing that we can do on our called she led me through the same stuff that I did yeah I knew I knew it I knew she wasn't I was like I knew it in my heart you knew she was dead and you've known it since 9:00 in the morning I kept doing this I thought I felt era come through okay I'm like maybe she just I I I'm like maybe she just SI maybe she just want to lat her but I'm like baby I know something is wrong I knew it cuz the way she looked and way this was all right so on Sunday the 11th it's about left work 9:00 a.m. and you you you find her unresponsive right yes how long after you found her unresponsive did you bathe her I didn't B for too long because I knew I had to call the pyramidic okay I just wanted to so did you put her back in the bed after finding her at 9:00 a.m. and that's put on the kitchen floor you put her on the kitchen floor that's when I started getting her clothes and stuff and I'm like hey we got to take her to the hospital something is wrong M okay I said the word like she's dead I knew she was that's when I took her to the couch he looked scared his eyes looked it red and I was panicking I couldn't gath when I was in my house I said baby you led it to this point and I was afraid I knew she was afraid cuz she told me several times she didn't like okay okay so on Sunday the 11th 9:00 a.m. you find her unresponsive you then bathed her and clothed her spoke with about the injuries right how long did you guys take to decide who was going to call 911 and how you were going to do that I kep saying need to take her to the hospital when I knew she wasn't walking but in his eyesight she was fake and I felt I said maybe she is because of the whooping to putting up the arm mhm I feel like she stopped walking cuz she didn't want to do none of that stuff no more okay all right so find her un responsive in the morning bathe in clo spoke with the a you said we need to take her to the hospital he said she's faking right I been say take her to the hospital she wasn't walking I really thought something was wrong and then I told him I said after you whooped her don't you know that she stopped walking and he came up with the push-up position holding the hands okay so what was her behavior like on Saturday the 10th Saturday it was it was weird her behavior was weird did she ever get up out of her bed she was sitting up she was sitting up where was she sitting up feed her with y' so I was the Chicken N in the French Fri okay and where was she when she was sitting up on Saturday no Friday night I made breakfast sausage in the morning in the morning I made breakfast sausages what day and it was Friday tried to give her the sausage gave her the sausage she was eating very very slow there was no EV that Ania had recently eaten okay and was that in the morning or night on Friday it was in the morning she was sitting up in her bed eating it very very slow try to give her a pop try to give her a pop it's like she was trying to drink the pop but she didn't want the pop she was eating on the sausage for a very very long time he was like baby she's still eating on the saus I said just let her eat it and then didn't give her the other one she ate it but it took her a very long time to ate it as if her stomach was upset and she didn't want nothing right he thought pop would do it to make her happy it didn't marijuana pop oh Pop okay do do you guys use marijuana does Deontay use marijuana you know I'm not looking into whether or not you guys use Mar so I mean you could be honest neither one of you use smoke I does de use marijuana in the house no not in the house no he I don't marijuana is different from Blunts oh what's the difference between marijuana and I don't know I just no ain't marijuana illegal like a blunt so he he has blunts he smokes blunts in that not in my house no I don't allow that I don't I can't deal with smoke okay okay so on Friday morning she was sitting her bed eating a breakfast sausage very slowly how long did that take and it wasn't a whole it was a half and how long did it take her a minute a long time hours he came back to me he was like baby she's still eating the breakfast saes and I just said just let her eat it how many hours did it take her it was like it was like 15 minutes but it was a little piece that's why I was concerned Why she was eating so so slow the sa Okay C did she ever eat anything after that breakfast sausage on Friday morning was she ever able to eat anything again Friday no and I think Saturday is when we try to give her the chicken nuggets and french fries and I put it back in the refrigerator I said just leave it mhm what time did she go to bed on Saturday night he put her to bed what time it was dark outside and before he put her to bed he just said baby I got to do this he just grabbed her just grabbed her by her leg and just said she faking she faking she faking she faking and I said baby stop it can cause a seizure don't do that yeah he's like baby she faking she faking I'm getting tired of her faking it's been too long and I said shaking is not going to do nothing and he plac her in the bed when you say place can you show me with what kind of force he's placing in the bed no he he just grabbed her by her arm and just laid her in the bed and he walked out okay he said she's going to keep prolonging it and I said Deon she's prolonging it because of what you did she's acting we because of what she do okay how did she act Saturday during the day before what you just told me about not a I did she sit up on her own at all on Saturday the 10th she laid in the bed all day we had to sit her up okay so she wanted to lay in the bed all day yeah okay and it's like that's what all she it's like is it that's what all she wanted to do by then ania's organs were already shutting down cuz if she didn't want to be bothered okay so we're looking at Friday morning's last time she ate anything and it took her a long time to eat a half of of sausage try to feed her to chicken and french fries okay Saturday she would even open her mouth okay so Saturday she laid in bed all day had to be sat up couldn't open her own mouth right and then before bed do you have to picked her up by her leg shook her upside down then put her to bed at dark baby she's faking baby she's faking telling you she's faking so you can't be shaking okay I added that here that while he's shaking her upside down he's saying baby she's faking said baby I don't mean no harm maybe you can just help her out I said no that's the reason why she's acting like she is do you think that um that last upside down shaking do you think it caused a brain injury yeah did it make the head start bleeding again that wound in the head did it open up I know that's the reason why she's probably dead cuz the shaking cuz the way he sh it wasn't a soft it wasn't it was not a soft shake it was not a soft shake at all when you grab her by her leg it was very hard it was very hard and I would stood there and I'm like baby stop stop and your cell phone works right so at some point you should could have gone in the other room or taken on the lobby and called us on 911 you didn't so there was no Red Lobster on Thursday I wanted to tell my brother Eric yeah what was going on but I didn't I just hit everything cuz I knew Eric would have did some damage only thing Eric knew of was that when's the last time your family saw annaya last time they saw was in November because me and my sister got into it the fight was due to D's sister questioning her about how she was disciplining Ania and I thought thought she would messing around with an ex of mine so I start bringing an ni around is your sister the one who called children Family Services it was both which ones which sisters J Johnson and it was Michael and Michael well did besides um and that's your natural sister really blood sister and how did you find out that she called Children and Family Services to my brother Eric you said he over her conversation yeah what did he say that um she told them she didn't really tell nothing besides she's getting hit like a man and that's what made the lady come out and I felt like the lady came out because of the bruise that was on her back from when D whooped her okay what' you tell the lady when she came out I just made it seem like everything was good I didn't want her I didn't want to just to be like Beyonce did this when she came how difficult was it to convince her she mean the social worker from children Family Services how hard did you have to lie to get her to to accept your life I was just acting and I was acting very normal mhm I was acting like a normal human being yeah she was like I want to check to see if it's just because there is food in the house doesn't mean a child is being allowed to eat the check was very short and only consisted of one visit food and house clothes and everything okay and she asked me who else live with you and I just said deont was with me I just said me and an okay so you said that he wasn't there you didn't even want him in the picture did they did they challenge you and ask you if that was true if deay lived there or not they never then question you further about whether or not he lived there I think it's prob because I'm just going to leave you just stand her okay but you lied about him being there to Children Family Services okay when was that I didn't want to give his name up you didn't want to give up deante you remember when that was when she came out yeah I think she came out wrong [Music] December December something okay so I have a call received right before Christmas December 21 is that right yep okay so we received this call yeah says that you lied about the daughter being out of town last week who did you lie to about that who did you tell that annia was out of town before Christmas who'd you tell that to just told her to her dad you told her dad okay I'm not sure who this call came from they don't give me that information but somebody called on December 21st saying that you lied about your daughter being out of town last week and that you didn't want the worker to see her because probably the child had bruises so did you prevent them from coming over and checking on your child by saying she wasn't there that happened as well okay cuz she had the marks on her legs when whooped she had the marks on her legs from being whooped he whooped with the bat twice so I'll gave her another date to come out okay there's another are there two calls I think there might be two calls on the same day Mich okay yeah we have one in the afternoon at 21:18 and one in the morning at 9: this is 4 days before Christmas okay this person is concerned about annia because ania's life is in danger this person has pictures of the child with bruises and scratches this person was told that a worker had come out the day before regarding the concerns did you tell someone that to get them to leave you alone that someone had already been there no family member told the caller child's been abused has not been to daycare mom has been hiding the child in the home because the child has a black eye and a bruise on her cheek and on her back those are messages that are coming from other family members so this is from your family apparently ania's situation was reported multiple times by various people if Child Protective Services had followed through as they should Ania might have been saved that she had this black eye she didn't me and my sister got into it yeah over well I wasn't dating a dude cuz I was talking to deonce your sister Erica Johnson yes she was mad cuz I wasn't coming around cuz I found that she was messing around with a d the M okay and then between that time I placed a restrain order on my baby daddy because I felt harassed okay um and in between that time I thought it was funny yeah when they sent 696 kids out you thought it was funny yes and it's like I knew my sister was trying to do some get back at me cuz she kept saying that's be back sister let be back sister does not let a [ __ ] get in between us okay and I was telling her that I love you from a distance mhm her concern was because I stopped coming around okay but they okay so your your sister believes that you're hiding in in the house with the black eyy a bruise on her cheek and on her back that you hadn't taken her to daycare this was back in December so she was I'm guessing that this is more why you're upset with your sister is these allegations she's making against you and not over a dude that you guys are fighting over right no I just felt like that's why she had called him out and I felt like I I knew Michael was going to call because of the bruise on her back and I told the not say he's going to do something even if it is a little Bru you told me baby I'm sorry okay I should never get it and I won't do it again okay I have a I have another call of children Family Services on December 13th of last year and it doesn't tell me who it came from okay but it says always has black eyes brues on her face hasn't seen the child in a couple months heard from someone close to the mother the mother mother continues to hit the child like the child is an adult bruises came from when my dad was watching an ey mother will lie and say that the child fell at daycare or is Clumsy when she is really hitting the child mother pulled the child out of a daycare because they were starting to ask questions about all her bruises and moved her to another daycare and I had two bruises from dakers but I told you and I was very concerned about it because I didn't get a call okay these these injuries are are not from daycare okay we know that they're not while she's at daycare couple of injuries came from my dad house say she ran into the table where she fell ER called me one day and said Anaya had like a little knot on her head you need to stop bringing around CU you know Dad is C9 he don't know how to watch kids okay she was good at my care back in September she presented at the First District Police Department the bruise on her cheek and scratches on her chest how did those injuries happen in September it was a scratch cuz it was around her birthday it was a Scrat it wasn't a scratch on her chest her dad called me saying it was a scratch on her chest I'm like well I wasn't aware it could have came from daycare and I'm looking like you did say you have two kids I'm like did they come from you and he was like no cuz when she left on my care there was nothing on I remember that day like it was yesterday cuz I remember him calling my phone cuz he didn't want to give it to me and he said if it did come from daycare you need to was the in kids around my child okay so those are your explanations but the daycare made good documentation and um during the time that she presented with injuries she wasn't in the the care of the daycare she showed up at daycare with the injuries but they were not CA at daycare it came home my dad was watching all right so we're all the way back to May of last year right yes and you know what I'm going to ask you about right this is when she was when and I was still at Harbor Crest daycare what happened back on um May 18th she was in harus yeah she had a scratch okay well she had more than a scratch cuz she got transported by the ambulance and she has something right here and it was a scratch and when she fell and when I took her to the par and when they took me to the stic service room yeah they said well it does look like she fell okay so what did you tell the investigators back in May of 2017 when when Ania was transported from Harbor Crest daycare to the hospital before we walked into Daya I told him where the scratch came from I told him that we went to the park and I was running and she failed she was B cuz she had sounds on okay so something goes on you supposed to let the daycare know took an for day from me told me I had to meet down to Children Prim Services yeah went down to Children Family Services they explained they had me talk and they felt like it was an open service and they Clos my case Okay so um I've got quite a bit of experience in this and it's known that when children especially at at this age four years old make statements about how their injuries occur that those statements are truthful okay that a four-year-old does not have the capacity to fabricate a lie okay do you know what an Nia said back in in May when she had injuries she said Mommy yeah and an I used to say different names who used to say different names an i no she only told the medical staff that that it was you that hurt her she didn't she didn't say it was anyone else and she complained in front of the officer investigating the case that she had pain in her head she had pain and discomfort on the right side of her face she had blood inside her ear ear that's a pretty serious head injury if you have blood inside your ear right it didn't come from her ear it came from a scratch cuz it was dripping from my ear okay are you unwilling to tell me the truth about how that injury happened on May 18th 2017 because I know it didn't happen at your dad's and it didn't happen at the park so you to the park okay she had sand on she had a dress on okay she fell when she was running okay um three days before that the scratch three days before that how' she get that that entury the scratch on her head I went out I placed her with a friend of mine friend of mine said I was running around the room all right I I'm not going to let you continue to tell stories that I I know don't don't make any sense with the investigation I'm you everything my daughter is dead I'm selling you everything right well you're not because back in May of 2017 this is before de's in the picture okay I didn't mention D at all no he wasn't there you couldn't have he wasn't in your life okay but I'm looking at this this injury that she's transported to the hospital for it's pretty serious okay but we also have documentation 3 days before that of a scrape on top and under her nose Okay do you remember telling them what happened you say happened wasn't with me Ana was at a friend of M cuz I went out okay she told me mhm that they was outside for a minute mhm she told the kids to go to the room cuz it was getting dark okay where are you going with the story I don't know who you're talking about you're saying she Elanor who's Elanor a friend of mine okay what does Elanor have to do with the injuries that watching her she was watching her she said it could have came from that I didn't notice I didn't notice nothing on my daughter at all okay well that's different than what you told investigators back in May of 2017 when they responded to investigate this you remember what you told us then I told them what I'm telling to you now cuz I I have the report here from May of 2017 do you want me to tell you what it says Sierra do you want me to tell you what you told us back then okay this is the problem when you tell lies this is how you get caught telling a lie because it's hard to remember the truth you don't forget the truth happened and you remember it exactly when you try to make up a story it's like you did coming in here you and deante tried to make up a story you both got it all screwed up and we knew you were lying okay cuz I didn't want to get away okay I mean I listen I can I can respect that that motivation okay and that explains truth when you tell me my daughter was no yeah that explains the injuries that caused her death the involvement with Deontay since June or July okay but this these things I'm asking about happened before de was in your life I kept I let an stay on my dad when the detective points out that there were already concerns about Ania before she began dating Lewis she rapidly spends a story to shift the blame to her father I used to drop an eye off a lot at my dad's yeah and when I would come back it was a Bruiser too okay I I don't want you to get into stories that are not consistent with what You' told us in the past okay remember what I told you about when children say that um mom is the one that hurt them an anay likes to say a lot of stuff you can bribe my daughter with fool and she will say anything remember the er done done it a couple of times for her okay she's not old enough to fabricate lies to frame people children that are four don't have no matter how intelligent they are they don't understand what the kind of manipulation that takes so so when was very smart when she said on May 15th that the scrape on top and under her nose was from Mommy pushed her down that's the true statement I know you didn't mean to I know you didn't mean to cause her that kind of injury child okay so two months earlier back in February of 2017 she had a dark colored bruise under her left eye what do you think she said done about that injury mommy did it yeah and her bruise didn't come from my house it came from my dad house cuz I used to question my dad I told my dad you had to be very careful call okay okay months before that that in January of 2017 sber bruises face arm back raised bruis left up or form what do you think annia said about those injuries my injuries the ones I just described bruises on the face arm and back rais bruise on her left upop or forearm the one on her back what do you think she said about it I don't know because we know who did it who did it noodles he wed her okay here's the okay here's the the problem with you saying noodles did it okay I'm talking about going backwards for May of 2017 okay so deont is not around this is January of 2017 she shows up at Harbor Crest daycare she's not gone to Harbor Crest daycare since you're with deante so so you know the statement that she made back in January of 2017 that mommy heard her momy scratched her cost the marks on her that's a true statement no it wasn't it's true an was at my dad's a lot and when I would go to pick my child up annia would have something on her and I would tell my dad to be careful with her but I was reporting that Mom Mom did it I don't know why and it said mommy did it okay do you remember back December of 2016 so we're going way back she's three right is that right what's her birthday September 2013 no 2:3 so she's she's just over 3 years old comes in daycare with her no this is back in December of 2016 I'm talking about she had a bruise on her eye she stated that Mom H her do you remember what you told do you remember what you told the daycare had happened I notified the daycare you what I notifi the daycare when she had that and what did what did you tell dad's house when these bres happen never want touch my child never want discipline or not she wasn't bad for me okay she do little stuff all right here's here's the problem with what you're saying you're you're telling me that you notified the daycare that it happened when she was at your dad's but that's not what you told the daycare back then okay remember a daycare listen you didn't tell them they happened at your dad's that's a that's a problem different do you remember where you said it happened at Dad's that's not what you told them teachers in and out her daycare okay I know what I told to daycare okay well we have documented right here what you told the daycare in December of 2016 I'm thinking that because you lied then it's hard to remember so you don't remember do you remember what you told them I'm not lying well you told me that I know you notified the daycare happen at your dad's but that is not what you told the daycare back in December of 2016 I feel like I'm being confused right now okay my daughter's dead my daughter's [ __ ] gone all right did you want to talk about any of these injuries that happened May 2017 or earlier before Deontay was in the picture lady came out bed on a scratch yeah in her head and this right here yeah and I explained that to him sure I didn't even notice annia had that in her head she had braids in her head she had be's in her head okay I notified the daycare I said took annia to the park and I said annia was running because she was going towards the swings and and she fell she had a little SCP mark on here okay day doubles down insisting that none of ania's injuries have ever been her fault I wanted to remind you once again my new merch shop is up stranger.com is full of relatable designs like the unstable and the mentally checked out t-shirts as well as other cool items like the allseeing beanie and the stranger socks every purchase helps support this Channel and you can even write me a short message on the purchase page I'll be reading every single message that comes with any order big or small so head to stranger.com and get whatever you want you that said let's get back into the case when she started bleeding I'm confused right now my daugh is gone my head is somewhere else where's your head is not where it's supposed to be okay okay so the daycare provider that called us in May 2017 she had only taken control of the facility taken ownership over the month before and she happened to um once she called us to make the report about the injuries from May she noticed a whole bunch of reports from previous owners okay do you know how many reports of injuries to to annia there were I not one 2 three four five six seven what is your have a file 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 so got 14 documented injuries while she's at that dat Care Center okay so far you gave me conflicting information on at least one two three and at least four of them we haven't even gone through one two three four five we haven't even gone through five in my heart I know where these abuses happen at my dads and I had never been in a dangerous care of M my dad is very old and he doesn't believe in dis disciplined kids like I do yeah when Ania was in my dad care she broke his glasses yeah she was disrespectful towards my dad yeah cuz he was very light with kids yeah she had several brues on her from my dad's house yeah I will call my dad and ask him she's just being a kid she was just being clunky okay so in September of 2016 the daycare documented bruises on her face eye and arm do you remember what you told them about that I don't remember [ __ ] my daughter's no I don't remember lening okay but I know these bruises where they came from which bruises all the bruises Ana never once had a bruise from me Ana never once had a bruise from me she had two abuses that came from Harbor crust that I was concerned about and it wasn't with the lady that's probably working there now like I said Harbor crust ran through so many teachers and I felt like the teachers did not even like my daughter they would claimed that she was bad she didn't [Music] listen okay do you um let's go over this one more time okay we're back to last Thursday March 8th okay there was no Red Lobster right what was the concern on Thursday with uh annaya how was she acting on Thursday and I wasn't being herself she wasn't acting herself and I knew she wasn't herself what did she walk at all on Thursday no she did not walk no did she eat she ate a saas a have a circle saas I set her up all day that's how she ate she didn't want nothing else I try to give her a pop it's like as if she would drink it and then she didn't want to drink it okay she wouldn't drink did she sit up I set her up so she would not set up on her own oh I set her up okay and I look it's in my daughter eyes I can see the fear yeah I heard just looking at me like Mommy why would you let him start it okay so there was no Red Lobster we can scratch that off the table on Thursday the 8th Ania did not walk she only ate half of a circle sausage all day thank you for Chas first Fri she wouldn't drink did not sit up on her own you stop Fear in her eyes right not so fear okay not been so a fear all right and we've gone over the others anything you want to tell me about last week Wednesday Tuesday or Monday anything happened on those days that you remember she wasn't walking on know that she wasn't walking since Harper Cris she wasn't walking since the okay so no walking any of those days no and she has not walked on her own since Harbor Crest since I lived in Harbor Crest right is that right she stopped after he whooped her really bad okay she prolonged it m and he said it's fake and I said it could be cuz she scared mhm he came up with the pushups yeah and uh putting your arms up water yeah he choked her mhm F her up to the air and I didn't like it right he made her hold her sheer up I knew ever since he wed her that's the reason why she stopped walking and the reason why she stopped walking also she didn't want to put her arms up she didn't want to be in a p push her position so she stopped walking Nana was telling me down online how she didn't like noodles she didn't speak to Noodles she didn't talk to him even when I was taking her de with me he'll walk in when he bringing me lunch or whatever and he'll be like no no not speaking I know why she's G it's cuz it was shaking the way he shaked her wasn't a soft shake it was a hard ass [ __ ] shake so do you think that if she wasn't already dead on Saturday night when you shook her before bed that was the that was what killed her the shaking cuz he did it he's a man M he's strong yeah he did it with Force do you think her neck might be broken she's little the way he was shook her was very hard and I knew it was very hard cuz I would tense up day refuses to take any blame and goes so far as to say that she tried to get Lewis to stop there is little to know truth in her story and the detective easily recognizes it as an attempt to avoid charges and I just say they stop they stop and he was like we got to stop her walking we got to start we got to start her to start walking okay and I told him I can't no longer go to work for her like this cuz it look suspicious people are used to me coming in dayc care n out walking whatever I was carrying her in the daycare and I knew it looked suspicious for a couple of days and I told myself I had to stop going to work yeah so I told myself I don't know how long my daughter's going to prolong this when I get my taxes I'm going to pay my rent up and I'm going to stay home with an NAA yeah she had a Wick appointment with the wick office yeah I didn't bring her I didn't take her to the wood appointment because she's not walking that would have looked supicious to tours them too yeah I didn't want to take her nowhere she can't walk and I'm known for having her walk I don't car I cuz she's you know she's older yeah and I know it was going to look suspicious towards other people sure so I just stay in house and I took care of her and I kept telling myself I can't just stay at home without working okay and all along deont just be like baby I'm sorry I'm sorry I know I'm the cause of this I saw fear in my daughter eyes at I saw fear I saw fear from the time when he did that the shaking this the whooping the hard whooping cuz he's strong stop my daughter from walking she can walk she can walk but she stopped walking cuz she thought it was going prong prolong to stand up to pushups like I said I knew in My Heart by the grace of God I could have stopped it she didn't like what was going on she didn't like the discipline at all and she looked towards me as if mommy you don't do this why are you let him do this and I want to tell my brother Eric what was really going on my sister was the reason why I stopped going around but when Ana started doing this after he whooped her I really stopped going around and I'm not stupid I know people want to to know what is going on what's up he was very harsh with her okay and I let it prong to do that okay as if like he said it'll work it make her Walk we're almost done okay I need to take a quick break you need anything while I'm gone I'll be back in a minute more water no something to eat on Snicker not a Snicker but a I do have some things go the bar yeah I do I'll be right back right there I going to stop this I'm going to stop this okay found you gr okay okay I don't want to keep you up too much longer we both need some rest but I want to give you the opportunity that if annia could read this if she had survived what what you would write her in an apology letter okay are you willing to do that [Music] okay I'll give you a couple pages okay I'm not in here trying to judge you or watch over you not it's stop okay so it's probably going to be helpful for you to write that down okay take as much time as you want okay sit you here you need it I'm going to be nearby but I don't want to be hovering over you cuz I want you to write from your heart and I don't want you to worry about how I feel about what you're writing okay this isn't for me okay this is a letter between you and your daughter okay would I be able to see her I don't know I don't know that's a good question okay what would you do if you could see her give her Aug just give her hug although day is emotional it is more likely that she is more upset over her own possible fate than she is over the death of her daughter I knew why she was to do this and I didn't say nothing I was afraid to say something cuz he kep telling you it can work out do this and do that I could stop I [ __ ] do I could have stop it like I know watching I don't want you to get too upset I want you to write your thoughts down okay I think it's going to be helpful you for you to write your thoughts down okay okay all right I'm going grab an extra pening to run out of there's one more there's plenty more pages you can write as long as you want here's
