after reading the suspect her writes the officer begins questioning her hear how the mother speaks about her 17-year-old son your first and last name Jana Smith Miss Smith okay Miss Smith can you just tell me what happened today my son doesn't want to listen mhm that's basically what it boils down to in the nutshell okay he wants to be the man of a house when he's not a man uh and he doesn't like I said he doesn't listen he's very disrespectful he's telling me um what I can and cannot do in regards to him being inside my house M which then I proed to tell him that he was free to go he was just with his father this weekend I told him to stay there him and his sister because they don't listen they were both free to stay there he's up was upset about that mainly he he was more so upset because my my son was bothering him upstairs in the room and they feel as though I baby him and let him get away with stuff so while I was outside on the phone with my mom and my daughter calming her down after you seeing her on the camera throwing bock and stuff like that she was talking to my mom um I guess the boys were upstairs and my son was pulling on his hair or something and he was upset and I came back in he was calling them names saying that he was blah blah blah so I told him to leave him alone and sto name calling him he didn't like that because he felt like I let him get away with everything okay so um he was like in my face which is why I had the bat in my hand and he ran through my living room tossed over a table went through the side um on my couches where this table was and the BB gun is in the corner and he grabbed the BB gun and ran out the door with it she was still outside on the phone with with my mother and I then locked the the gate behind him once he ran out with be M the woman's next statement is shocking as she outright denies the allegation her son made against her and telling her to open the gate and that I I effed up now because I hit him with the bat which I did not what I did with the back was smash my phone which is mine that he was using because he was telling her to come and get the phone and I told him he didn't have a phone and the phone got smashed and then I threw the phone to him outside he still had the BB gun and was cursing the out saying um I gu some something for this guy him about me I don't recall everything so but that's when you hear him saying oh I effed up now I Eed up now I hit him with the back and he was going to call the police and I let him call the police I closed my gate behind him she finished talking to my mom picking up the rest of the rocks that she had thrown out there and we went back in the house I was getting ready to take my son to baseball when my bell rang and you guys were okay so at any point did you strike yourself no whether was your hands or B or anything like that no I struck the phone you could see the phone was smashed up I don't know if he still had it in his in his hand once again the officer presses the suspect about the bruises and marks on her son listen to how she responds so how so did you were you aware of any injuries that your son has no some whatat okay so he's pretty banged up on his back and on his arm can you explain those where those might have come from on his arms and on his back for what I have no idea I don't have any idea either he we would ran through the house and he knocked over the table ran in the corner where the BB gun was I don't know how he's got anything on his arms or on his back it's definitely not for me now what he did outside of the gate I don't even know where he went after he ran off with the B gun he came back a few times couldn't get back in the gate and he left so I didn't know where where he went which is why I went on about my this is getting ready to take my child to baseball practice so I wasn't expecting you guys to show up at at my door yes ma'am so you're saying at no point did you strike him did he strike you he attempted to which is why I grabbed the bat in the first place okay so now the suspect makes yet another shocking claim this time alleging that her son attempted to strike her me the bat was right by the door I grabbed the bat when he came at me how did he how did he come at you how like lunged at me mhm and you were so he was inside of the house inside of the house he was towards the I don't know how to explain that I was standing like facing my back towards the stairs he was picking up shoes that he had thrown all over the floor and I told him to pick up his shoes and he could go this is what the argument was about he didn't have to be there he was free to go so in the process of him picking up the shoes yes I'm still fussing at him and telling him you know he didn't need to be there he's picking on his 8-year-old brother unnecessarily and he then was picking up the shoes um still my daughter was still on the phone with my mom she was coming back inside the house and I don't know what they were saying on it he was yelling or something like old grny C she's always starting drama or something like that and then I went to tell him like shove him out the door I did just shove him out the door and he pushed back when I tried to shove him at the door and then like came at me and I grabbed the back from the door he ran around through the living room I thought you said you never touched him well I didn't I didn't hit him I like nudged him shoved him wasn't forceful he's much bigger than me anyways wasn't forceful I nudged him try to get him out the door MH but I didn't even really push him hard like you know just push him on his shoulder yes ma'am and um he got upset about that and came towards me which is why iend up having the bat in my hand he ran around the sofa knocked the table over in the corner so he could get through the side grab the BB gun out the out of the corner because it's over in the corner behind this chair that's in the corner push that up against the window and ran out the door and then until the end the suspect never admitted to putting her hands on her children came back telling my daughter to open the gate left again because I was standing there still at the gate with the back still but I didn't touch him with the back okay is that all is that all that's it that's it was nothing you didn't let him back in theate I didn't let him back in the house at all I didn't let him back in the gate and I told her not to let him back in the gate and I told her to come in the house and she went and got in the shower and then that's when and and that's when the rest of it happened cuz we were getting ready to leave I was getting ready to take him to baseball all right all right no problem just hang tight for a second the woman
