So, I mean, I'm I'm not going to press any charges. >> Okay. >> She's a good mom. >> She really is a good mom. >> But she she's not going to leave without drunk. It's just I feel like something has to happen for her to open her eyes >> and get on medication because they've already put her on medication and she won't freaking take it. >> And if she left with those babies tonight and Aaron didn't go with her because she was drinking, she would have been frantic and she would have crashed like truck. >> She would have I mean she's she's drunk. Yeah. >> I love my children so much. >> No, I don't think anyone's saying you don't. I don't even know what happened. I just pulled up with my partner.

It makes me freak. >> And for the last year, I have been at my family's house with my children-in-law. He does whatever he wants to do for the last year. And finally, I was so tired of being a single mom and I love him to death. But he does not love me the same. So, I'm hearing this fine. I don't >> His sister beat the out of me tonight. Do you see my eye? I don't know if you can see my eye, but I have never been beat up before. I've never been in a cop before. Like, I like I was a teacher. Like, I And that's not a facade. Like, I I feel like a mama bear that just wants to Oh, this hurts so bad. police there anyway just to like like I don't know. I'm not trying to escape. I know what I've done wrong. >> I've really never been in this position before except for the first time I smoked pot when I was 15 years old. I just want what's best for my children. I just wanted to go home so they could sleep in their own beds instead of sleeping at their drunking me's house. >> What was your name again? >> Abby. >> Abby. This is Abby. She's complaining of a panic attack >> and my my head hurts really bad. I got beat the >> You can't see it and I can't show you. And I'm a snotty person and I apologize for that. >> You ever had something like this happen before, Abby? >> No, I have children. I don't do anything. I don't I just wanted to get home with my kids and obviously I'm not able to drive and so my family thought this was a better solution. You want to wipe your face off for you, Abby? >> I'm so sorry. I'm ready to start my period. I'm like super emotional. >> Your face on the right side of my head. >> Your right or my right? >> Wait, my right. >> No, no, no, no. Good. O2 is good.

What's this one's name? >> Gracie. Hi, Gracie. >> She's blind. >> Hi, baby. Come on. Let's go. Hi, >> Erin. Hi, babies. >> Oh, okay. Yeah. So, I'm understanding correctly, everything happened by the truck, right? >> Correct. >> Is that where she was scrubbing on you? And >> yeah, I mean, she was trying to get her kids home and she was obviously out of sorts, >> right? And are they okay? >> They're fine. >> None of them are hurt. >> Absolutely not. >> You know what's really funny >> is that my boyfriend's sister gets to leave here drunk all theing time, which I don't condone any of it. And I'm glad that they stopped me because I wouldn't have wanted anything to happen to my girls or me because they can't live without me. But I just think it's funny that they would go to this length for me to not get in a car, but for their own daughter who drives drunk all the time. I just have to let go of some anguish, which is not your problem or your, you know, but thank you for listening even if you're not listening. >> No, I'm listening. >> I'm going to go back and give these to >> We just have to cut these off of them. >> Oh, thank you. >> Wait for each of them. >> Thank you. >> Just call the jail probably tomorrow morning. >> Yeah. >> And go from there. >> Thank you. >> Yep. Y'all take care. >> All right. Have a good night. be safe. >> Yes, thank you. >> I don't know, but honestly, I would much rather be taken than have to stay here. >> So, what happened tonight? >> We were drinking. >> Mhm. >> And usually this happens like every weekend. We always all come over here. We hang out by the pool. We drink. Everybody starts to leave. And usually Aaron, my boyfriend, the husband or the father of my children, >> Mhm. >> is usually on my side with us leaving at the same time. and his sister started to get a little nasty with me. So, I just walked away and I started to load my kids, which I understand I should not be driving. I get that 100%. I honestly don't know what happened after that. I loaded my kids. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground and my boyfriend's family is fighting me, which is un unlike them because like I said, his sister drives leaves here all the time drunk as which I don't condone that whatsoever. And I'm so glad I did not leave here drunk. >> But this has never happened. It's never they've never called the cops on on her. Sorry, I'm being drama. >> You're fine. I get in. All right. So, I'm going to go ahead and tell you you are going to >> you are under arrest at this time for battery FBA and two counts of cruelty to children. Um, I'm going to get cruelty to children in the third because your babies were present. So, three counts. Okay. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. It doesn't mean that you hurt them. It just means that they were present. Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. We're going to go to the jail in just a few minutes. Okay. >> Okay. Ready? >> I'm lucky. Are you okay? >> Yes. Thank you. I have no shoes. And you're just going to go straight ahead to that green door right there. The woman was charged with battery and cruelty to
