What's good everybody? Welcome back to SNK Unlimited. We back with another body cam video. This one right here. Hey, we haven't seen it yet. You can tell by the title. It's going to be interesting. Um, shout out to Law and Crime Body Cam for this video. Let's just get into it. Yeah. In Henderson, Nevada, a city just outside of Las Vegas, where a simple welfare check is about to reveal a horrifying secret. Jeffrey. Yeah. Sorry to wake you up, bud. What time did you go to bed? What time did you go to bed? This morning? Yeah. Okay. So, it's not horrible. You got some sleep. Yeah. Uh even though the kids might have kept you awake some. So, I'm just here uh because they asked me to be here. Okay. Based on the situation, the kids haven't been in school. One of them is being home homeschooled uh for the number of days that they haven't been in school. So, they got a few questions based on what they need to do as a school representative for truency. Okay. Does that make sense? It sounds like you got some challenges here at the house. Um, your wife and you have different, you know, schedules to probably try to handle the kids and stuff like that. That's great. It sounds like you're doing trying the hardest you can to make situation work, right? So, but they still have a job to do based on, you know, their policies and students. Yes. We're just checking because they haven't been a school. Um um he's not in school today and um I think they're in school. Um they're supposed to be in Nevada Learning Academy, but they haven't been, you know, enrolled. So, we just concerned to see we just want to check that they're all okay. Um so that can go back to school. Um what concerned me was that I heard a banging and he said, "Let any open the door." He thought I was police. He's like, "Please let me out." So, but then when I ask if he's okay, he stay quiet. So, I just want to assure that that I can see that he's okay. Oh, yeah. He's okay. And a kid like that, it makes sense that they would say, "Let me out." Police identify the man seen here as 41-year-old Jeffrey Scanland, a father of four who eventually answered the door after a school truency officer came to the family's home over some of the kids' repeated absences. But after initially knocking several times with no answer, the school official called police when they say they heard screaming and banging from inside the home, you know, because I'm sure you have, you know, like child kind of like Yeah. Do you mind do you mind if I come in? Yeah. Um he's a big kid. I I can come in. Yes. Okay. Um he's half Samoan, so he's a big kid. Probably got some meat to him. Oh yeah. Once inside, police catch an alarming sight. A metal cagelike structure built right into the living room with an 11-year-old child trapped inside. But that's not all. Officers reportedly observed feces smeared on the floors and walls along with piles of trash scattered around the room. Jeffrey is quick to offer up an explanation. Um, so, hey buddy. He basically we had to do this because it keeps him from kicking holes. Mhm. Everywhere in the house. Does he have like uh he doesn't hit his head on the walls or anything like that? No. No. Okay. Um how about the other children then that are supposed to be in school? Yeah, they're upstairs. You able to get them down here? Yeah. Hey, Sergeant. The officers check to make sure the other kids are alive and well before another investigator arrives with more questions about the child in the enclosure. Okay, my little mid break. I can look at the daddy and tell something wrong with himself. You can look at his eyes. He got like wild eyes. I know, right? I was like, man, just Yeah, he he's something going on with himself going on right there, man. And is that the daddy? That's the daddy. So I can just tell either he just woke up, he just got he got that look like that that wow like drug look or kind of like off look, you know. We be be honest on this channel. Yeah. What we seeing I don't know what to say at this point. I don't know what to say at this point either, man. Just we keep seeing this over and over and over. We have to talk about it for real. For real at the end. Yeah. Let's get into it, man. Let's get back into it. Is this set up for him? Yeah. says partan. Yeah, half son kids. He's very strong. He just turned 11, but he's super strong. Yeah. I mean, I he's ripped off cabinets, kicked holes. His room upstairs, he you know, he kicked a hole all the way through into my bedroom. Okay. You know, it's just he, you know. Okay. So, to keep him from destroying the house, we try to keep him in here. He doesn't know how to unlock. No. Wow. Well, On this one, we had to uh we had to tie this up. And then on the other door, on the other door, we have a key lock. Okay. So, cuz Yeah. I mean, some some of them are very observant. Oh. Oh, dude. Smart. S smart in ways that we don't expect sometimes. Oh, they're so sharp. Him and my daughter, they're both autistic. So, so my concern as a safety officer is what happens in case of a fire. Uh that that can be cut right there. It's just tied up. So, that door opens right up. Uh, and the other one has it locked. He could open it and yank it. The other one? Uh, no. Oh, it's just tied up right now. It's just tied up. Right. Right. Right. Right. But I mean, technically Okay. It opens right up. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. They were concerned about that when they installed it. Yeah. Yeah. And that's I mean, that's what we're looking for is the safety of the situation. Did you want to go up and get the kids so we can? Jeffrey explains he has two children living with autism, but keeps only the older 11year-old boy behind bars due to his strength and alleged destructive tendencies. Seconds later, the father of four offers up an explanation for the kid's absences. Uh they've been sick for about the last couple of days. Um we're good. She doesn't she doesn't need to come all the way down or do you have questions or uh no yeah she uh they've had the flu for about all last week. It started with him and they were throwing up and she caught it. He caught it. Whole house got it for me. So Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And that wasn't related to the school though that they had the flu. No. Okay. So commun communications it's communication is huge. All right. Right. So, no matter what, call the school cuz I've even had like casinos call us to check on employees. Okay. Casinos, adults check on their adults because the adults didn't call in sick or this or that and it's been 2 days. So, we even have, you know, big corporations calling on adults employees to make sure they're okay. Okay. So, big thing is communication. Call the school, say, "Hey, she's not feeling well. Stomach flu. Be out for one days, maybe 5 days, whatever." Same with whatever other children. So that way they have an understanding what's taking place. Jeffrey tells police the family has been sick with the flu, but that doesn't get him off the hook so easily. Yeah. When we were knocking, we're like, well, maybe they both share a car and go to work together or something, you know. So yeah, I was passed out and didn't know if it was right, pounding or not. And so his speech isn't uh very good right now, right? Yeah, it's not. Okay. when he was first born, I mean, he he didn't actually start talking till he was about four or five years old. Okay. We thought he was just getting non-verbal for his whole life. Yeah. But, you know, he's been going to school and basically all all his verbal skills are basically just what he wants and then what he copies and hears off of the phone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz I tried to communicate through with him through the the window through the plywood just to make sure he was good. I'm like, "Hey, are you okay?" You know, everything good? Cuz he was bum bum b. And of course, the way it sounds because of his size, I mean, it sounded horrible. But I was like, well, he's not screaming like he's in pain or anything like that. So I was like, you know, hey, I don't see any like cause to be concerned in that aspect cuz he's yelling cuz you know, some kids on the spectrum, that's what they do. Yeah. You know, I just like as long as he's, you know, if he's, you know, using his head like some of them do, as long as he has helmet or something like that, you know, doesn't look like he's got any injuries or anything like that. So that's good. Yeah, we've had to I mean all this plywood you had to put up just so he doesn't break windows. Yeah, I noticed the one window was broke. Yeah, I mean that made sense when I seen it. I'm like, you know. Moments later, the officers step outside to discuss the situation. Find out how long they've been here. Uh how long the kids have been? How long it's been like this? Um did you know the coming out? No, I didn't say nothing. Okay. I was about to start yelling in there and so I walked out and couple deep breaths. Yeah, I was I was just trying to play cool and keep him talking. So I told uh I tell the truency I'm like right now I'm leaving the kid right there because I don't need to have the Russell 11-year-old autistic kid now. Yeah. While we're waiting for everything. Yeah. I mean the the kid is Is that for me? No. Tomorrow 11. Oh, they said cuz it's been about an hour. Yeah, this is Yeah. You know what it's called for? Um, but so since when detectives come here, we we have everything set up so we can talk to them. I can talk to them as long as we have people in there. While waiting for detectives to arrive, the officer calls CPS to give them a rundown of what's going on. So, um, the situation is, uh, we're probably going to we're going to need somebody out in route here. So, we got our SVU on the way. Um, their most autistic child whose name is is um basically caged into the downstairs living area. And when I say caged, caged. Wow. Um, he's naked. There's feces around. It's extremely messy in the area. And, uh, windows are boarded up. Dang. So, when our SVU gets here, I don't know what children may need to go with you guys, but this is extremely autistic. Uh very strong uh young boy because he he tear he tears apart the house. He teared cupboards off the wall and stuff like that. He's just strong and very destructive as a child with his level of autis autism. He doesn't have I'm surprised he doesn't have a helmet on. you know, so he's not banging his head against things, but like he was pounding on the plywood that's over top of the windows and it was I mean, you could hear from the street. I mean, just thuds, thuds, thuds, thuds. But when I was trying to ask him his name and stuff, he couldn't uh he's not cognitively able to answer questions. So, with that, I mean, he's been out of school for a while, I guess, and I mean, I could understand why in a sense. Um I don't I mean you'd almost have to have a specialist come into the house and meet with them. Um they've been sick though too. It looks I I don't see that it doesn't appear that the kids look sick right now but there was some sickness going around last week like throwing up flu kind of stuff. I know we I know we used to talk to the end of the video but I just want to say a quick little thing real quick. like what do you do? I was sitting here thinking that in this situation like you know without being insensitive right what you know you know we can look at it from one way or we can look at it for another. I think we need need to talk about this at the end of the video. I'm just I'm just holding Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz I it's something I want to say but I I don't Yes. We got to see the rest of the video. Let's just get back into it y'all. Mhm. All four children are in the home. So, all the walls are are open, but across the main entrance into the room that he's in, it's like a metal fencing that goes from the floor to the ceiling. Like um a bar, metal black bars that would you would see probably like as a fence to go into the backyard or something like that in a sense. Yeah. I mean, it's not, you know, shabby looking. It looks like they had it installed semi-professionally or something. I mean, it's it's put in there well. It's just it's a cage. Uh, I didn't see a bed. I see like a a couch kind of thing. So, he's probably sleeping on the couch. Uh, well, without going in there and testing it, it looks like there's some on the walls and possibly on the floor. Uh, it doesn't look like he has direct access to a restroom. Dang. We haven't gone into the caged area um SVU. When they get out here, I'm sure they're going to go through that whole thing. Next, the children's mom arrives when officers get a chance to confront her for the first time. Let's see how that goes. Hey, you miss. So, we got called here. My name is Officer Bob. We got called here because the Clark County School District uh truency officers were tasked to come out here um to try to make contact, make sure the kids are okay. All right. So that's why we came out here was to assist them. Um based on them not making contact, they could hear some screaming from the inside. So that's where we went ahead and uh they called us to assist and try to figure out what the situation was. Okay. So we came here um and their job was to make sure that the kids were okay cuz they haven't been in school, right? And nobody's been calling the school to give the updates. So they weren't aware that the children were sick. So your husband, we're talking to him right now. He informed us that they were sick and that was one reason why they were out of school. Um, but there was also concerns based on uh, you know, we heard the yelling from the inside, the pounding on the inside. You know, what's what's the real situation? Police identify the woman seen here as 46-year-old Misty Scanland, who's about to face some questioning of her own. Does that make sense? So, that that brought up Yeah, we see that. We understand that and we know that's a challenge. Um, so based on that, uh, going in there talking to your husband was asleep, so it was hard to get him up. He finally came to the door. So, we were talking to him, trying to understand this the whole situation of everything. Does that make sense? So, based on that, we're here now. We're going to be sticking around for a little bit. We got a few more questions to ask and go from there. Does that make sense? Did you leave work early? All right. Well, thanks for coming off early. You have some questions, sir. All we're doing is uh just so you know, and I was letting your husband know, um the the pool, the whatever that is. So, a concern of ours, right? Um, and then obviously the condition of of the house to come in, receive kids, cage, kids, things everywhere, right? That's a concern of ours. So, right now, what we're waiting for, uh, one of our detectives will come down. We'll talk to you guys, u, make sure that everything's good. Everything's good, then we're going to get out of your hair. Okay? Um, and then we'll go from there. Okay? But obviously, when we open a door, you see a cage and a kid in and things everywhere in disarray, it can turn us. So, that's what we're going to figure out. That way you're not like anyone they doing. We're here. We're waiting on the detective. I'll talk to you. We'll do an interview. As soon as the interview's done, we'll figure out where we go from there. Does that make sense? Hey, real quick. No weapons in your purse or in a house or anything like that. Where are they at? They're put away. Put away where? Might be some in the in the garage. They're not upstairs or anything. We have some upstairs. Are they Were they in the master bedroom? Okay. So, the the boys share these rooms up here, right? All right. They don't have access to that right now. Okay. Are they in a safe or they in something that they can't get access to? In the garage. They're in our room. In your room. Okay. Your room's locked. All right. Let's stay out of your room for now until the detectives get here. We go from there. Let Callahan know we're not let everybody go through. Come on in. See this cage. So not showing enough. Sorry it's a little warm up there. Now back inside the home. Investigators have a few words of advice for the suspects. Um now that your wife's here and stuff like that, there's going to be a little bit more movement. Just want to make sure there wasn't any weapons. She mentioned about some shotguns upstairs. So, we just ask that nobody go upstairs into the bedroom. Okay. So, um yeah, the double doors, uh we don't want anybody go up there. There's a few shotguns that aren't necessarily they're not the guns safe, right? They're just secured up there. So, that way um we just it's just a safety thing that we go through. So, hey, I understand. Oh, um when when did you have this installed then? Uh a few years ago. Probably six years ago. Oh wow. Okay. So he was strong at a young age. Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Buddy, it's just part of his stming. He just Oh yeah. Yeah. You know that's that's Yeah, I get it. So we actually have um you know the the good thing about this is we can start a conversation and stuff. We have a team right now they're called crisis response team and their main goal is to help people like this in the situation having these challenges and things like that no matter what the age is because they're you know from from kids all the way up to um you know 80year-olds you know so when we and they also help with like suicidal people as well but um they they come and help and provide u resources um try to help out with finding a program a and you know things that can help out the family cuz it's I know you've g he's grown up with it you've grown up with him and stuff in this realm but sometimes you get stuck in the same patterns and don't realize you know all of a sudden 2 years later there's more resources out there but you haven't looked for resources for 2 years does that make sense so there might be more resources out there that you're not even aware of okay you know um I know sometimes the schools are very good at helping with resources as well um but you know they have their protocols or people they work with. And we have we're kind of independent in a sense that uh our team uh it's it's a newer team, so it's probably why you haven't heard of it, but they're they're newer at uh dealing with these situations or not with these situations, dealing with helping people. So, but they're able because they're new, they're they're grabbing all this information everywhere they can come from. And I keep on looking at him cuz I see fear in his eye. He keep on he looking over like and he he's waiting for that shoe to drop like what what y'all going to do cuz y'all just standing here just saying all this is or something. He he he keep looking over like like he scared himself in that house, man. Oh my goodness, man. And one of the main officers has an adult child that's on the spectrum and so he he knows exactly what it's like, you know, between the different triggers and things like that. And they might grow out of a trigger and develop another trigger, you know. So, they're a really good team that understand the situation and can help you with uh additional tools. Okay, that makes sense. The officer keeps the suspects talking before reinforcements arrive to speak with the child in the enclosure who doesn't appear to be happy with the situation. Oh, man. The bubble guppies. Oh, the gate open. You have You beautiful voice. I love to hear you talk. Can you tell me something else? Gate opens soon. Yes. Would that make you happy? Oh, I can't wait to make you happy, buddy. Gate open. Dang. Gate open. Hello. I know you want the gate open, baby. We're working on that right now. school. So, it sounds like there's some problem with that being Yeah, I'll keep um um the master bedroom is up there right at the very top of the stairs to the left and there's the shotguns. So, um if by chance I don't catch you, we're working on the gate right now, sweetheart. Here we can see inside the room with boarded up windows and what investigators said is feces and trash. Let's continue. Hey, can we talk about the words, you know? Yeah, the words you know. You like the gate open? Why do do you like the gate open? Yes. No. Do you like to be back here? Go back here. Here in this room. Do you like this room? D. That's a big Yes. Hey, buddy. Do Do you like this room? Or do you out? No. He's about the size of a 50 and a 60. Yes. Do you want the gate open? Do you like the gate open? Yeah. Soon. See you real soon. So, guess what? Guess what? Soon. Soon gate open. Yeah. Soon gate open. Gate open. Yeah. Soon. Soon enough, emergency services arrive and grant the 11-year-old's request. Remember when we talked about gate open? Gate open. Gate open. That's right, bud. Gate open soon. Gate open soon. You guys ready? We're ready, sir. And they're contained, right? Yes. Head that way. You are going to focus a bit. Yeah. Up bed. We're going to open gate and go bed. Open gate. Sit bed. Say open. Open gate. Sit back. Open gate. Sit bed. [Music] Battery level is low. We just wait. Hold on. Just wait one second. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I going to the bathroom. Yay. Here we go. Right to the bed. Officers open the gate and secure the child safely onto a stretcher to be evaluated. We got the teddy bear. [Music] Somebody stand over. Yeah, we're going to we're going to if it's cool, we'll both go in the back with you guys. Cool. [Music] Jeffrey and Misty Scandlin were arrested and each booked for one count of child abuse and neglect. The couple later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor child neglect charge and were each sentenced to one year of probation. Oh my goodness, man. Okay, let's talk about let's talk about this. We got to talk about this, man. Um, I gotta say, like I was going to say in when I paused the video earlier, I got to say, uh, what do you do? Yes. You know, I know it's wrong. Nobody should be in prison, especially a child. But you don't I know you got to be careful when you say certain things because nobody wants that child to be abused, right? Nobody. But at the same time, I know it's a parent that sits home with a child with autism or on the spectrum as they say, and they just get frustrated because they don't know what to do, right? Let's be real here. Sometimes you just don't know. Hey, that's a big guy. Yes. He was tearing the house up. What do you do? Right. It's 2025. Mhm. We have advances in cars that can drive themselves. We have apps where you can have food delivered to your house. We have where you can talk to a computer and it and it does basic needs like turn on the radio, cut off a light, right? Turn on the TV. Parents should have that much accessibility to help. The man said and at the end the police officer said, "We have a you know crisis center type thing or whatever he said, whatever he called it. You already know these people have autistic kids. They go to public school cuz that's why the truency officer is there, right? Why haven't you given them the help if they have a child in the public school that is autistic? Right. I know what you're saying. They're probably try tired of having to put their child through maybe probably have to get up at 5 in the morning to get them fed, get them clothed, get them ate. That's a that's a regular child. Imagine. Imagine somebody who can't talk, who may not be able to understand you. You have to go through that whole process of getting them dressed, getting them washed, get them fed, and all of that. And probably can't feed themselves proper. It's a whole thing. Yes, I know they're frustrated. Yeah, this is not regular neglect. Now, that's probably why they got one year probation. Yeah, I was about to say that. That's probably why you have to enforce the law because you don't want people doing this, right? But at the same time, he's like, come on. He's not like not being taken care of as some of the other parents that have you seen like feces with, you know, with maggots and all that. You know, it obviously you can tell somebody to go in there sometime and clean up. You know, there's no excuse for it. I'm not saying that, right? But I can totally understand. Yeah. I've worked with people with um autistic kids. I've worked with places at places where kids are artistic. Right. Yeah. It's frustrating. Yes. Even young There was a um a young girl. She was one of my favorites, but people gave her to me because they couldn't handle her. Mhm. And she only listened to me because I was in charge of the game room where she could go in and play games. Yeah. But she wouldn't listen to anybody else. So I couldn't imagine being at home with her. And she also had a sister who was autistic every day. Those are just girls. Imagine a 11year-old boy who's already 200 something pounds. Yeah, that dude. That's a big dude. Your ass would be in a cage. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't I don't say I wouldn't do it. I'm just saying I can understand. I understand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean this is crazy that that you would wait until they have to break the laws in order to get them help. Mhm. I just find this so bizarre. I do too. It's it's some things. Like I said, we fair on this channel. Yeah. The the people wrong, the suspects wrong, we going to say it. The cops wrong, we going to say it. The law wrong. We feel the law is wrong. We going to be honest, right? Um, I just feel like, man, that's why they only got one year probation because it wasn't really a super neglect thing, right? This man was scared. I saw his eyes. He's like, and he big guy himself. He looking around like I know they were just wondering, well, when's this something going to happen? When's somebody going to find out? Yeah. Yeah. Got the cage in the years old. So that like how long we going to be able to, you know? And listen, we we kids and old people are two things that I Oh, yes. I'm sympathetic about. Yes. on this one, y'all. I kind of understand the parents on this one. Yes. I'm not saying it's right. No, but put yourself in their shoes. Yes. Stop. For the ones who have normal kids, that's why you say, "Well, I would never do that to my kids." Put yourself with somebody dealing with somebody autistic. Yes. Imagine the bad days you had with your normal kids. That's times 10. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Somebody who can't verbally talk. Yeah. who can't listen to simple instructions, who has superhuman strength. Yeah, you try to come up. Exactly. That's the Hulk running. You going to try? Yes, there some big dudes. Samoans are naturally bigger human. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah, most defin I just I I on this one right here. I I It's like a 10% Yeah, I'll be honest. 10% neglect. Mhm. And 90% they don't know what to do, man. It's frustrating them, man. That's That's my take. I want to know what y'all think. I'm at the point where I'm still trying to figure out like when are we going to make this as the norm that we've got all of these kids that parents don't know how to deal with. The last four or five videos we did like this, that's what happens. autistic. It's the autistic kids that they're they're not they don't know how to cope, right? They don't know how to handle it. Yeah. And this this has got to be something bigger that we're paying attention to or everybody's going to be going to jail for neglecting their kids because they don't know how to handle it. You can't take them to hospitals anymore to get help because when when the society uh economic uh anything or whatever becomes the norm Mhm. Yeah. It's no longer a crisis. Yeah. So in the beginning in the 80s when kids were starting to have some of these problems Oh. It was take them to uh you know health facility, take them to a sane asylum, take them to a clinic. Yeah. Now it's it's the norm. Yeah. They go to public schools now. Yeah. They um they go to a doctor and get out. Oh, they just have a bit of autism. A bit of autism. Something ain't right. Nothing's being done. And now parents are having to deal with everything on their own, right? And then if they do something more drastic, right, they ready to put them in jail for life. Yep. And they reaching out. Man, we frustrated over here. you I the this is the the third video when I can tell the parents just frustrated. Yes. I know somebody in the comments understand where we come from. All right. Let me just say this and then I'll I'll be done. I know someone that lives next door to a u person that has a autis actually she lives across the street from one and she lives next door to one. So she can attest that it's not easy. um the people that live next door to her. This boy is an adult now. He's probably 22. I came in contact with him working with him with the town. He's he was 18 then. He was already six foot something at you know before he was 18. He's now 20some. He's broken out of windows. He's run down the street naked at night. He cannot talk. Can you imagine him getting mixed up in the middle of the night and going to the wrong house? Yes. What could happen? This these are the frustrations that parents deal with. We can sit in our houses. We can sit behind computers and we can judge and we can tell you know other people. Oh, it's just this this. If you never come in contact with these people who have autistic kids and you've never heard parent stories, don't sit your ass behind those cameras and judge these parents for doing some sometimes radical or extreme things. They're at their wits end. They have no idea what to do. Yeah. The lady that that lives in this house, her house is boarded up. The window I thought she moved. She she hasn't moved. She can't put the windows back in because her son keeps breaking out the windows to escape. Dang. Now, I don't know what their living situation is. The house is nasty on the outside. I'm not gonna lie. Right. I don't know what it is. Like, and I believe the actual person that owns the house is just like throwing his hands up with anything because the son has destroyed the house. But I'll just say, don't sit back and judge until you've been in these parents situations. That's true. I have to agree with that, man. We we we always can talk when we don't go through nothing, but when it affects us, we like, I understand. That's all I really got to say about that. Yeah, man. Hey, we hope you enjoyed this one.
