I can charge them Yes, and leave all the roots That's moving Those dark spots are cockroaches Yep Where do they— Where do you guys sleep? We have a bed in the back Our prosecutor is gonna want Cockroaches in there? Yes Oh, my God The living conditions weren't just nasty, it was criminal Florida law calls this child neglect Tiffany and Robert weren't just bad parents; they were felons Oh my God These ladies will file court custody type court paperwork for child abuse and neglect in circuit court in Harrison County Yeah we're just saying we just want to have a chance to make things right Today's the day, this is your choice in life Well here's the thing, when it comes to the court system, will you get charged? More than likely yes you will, okay, I'm not going to lie to you Now after which, whether what the course wants to do, they can give you, put you on some type of path to fix your situation, and if you don't, it could get worse for you, or if you do improve, then they can maybe drop things down to maybe misdemeanor status, stuff like that Whether, the thing is this is, I'm very serious, okay, this is completely unacceptable Our actions from here on out, could that, (Unintelligible) well definitely, you know, definitely from here on out, you know, you might want to just do everything you can Uh If I would recommend, first thing, clean the house Yeah, absolutely Because chances are there's gonna be more visits at some point down the line Oh yeah Fix whatever you have to fix in this house Yeah You know, start doing it now That should have been done Years ago Yeah, yeah Well this, this wasn't even here years ago It's been like it since 2021 Well, but the thing is, when it comes to a house, It was about a year after she was okay, listen, when it comes to a house, when it comes to a house, you let one thing slide, and it just snowballs, and it just makes, it will compound everything And nobody says you have to clean your house spotless from top to bottom every day You can do a little bit at a time, but this is just, what, I don't even know What made it discouraging is the health that we've been dealing with And on top of that, it ain't so much the cleaning, it's the, how bad the roaches got bad for us Well, that starts with you guys taking the trash out I'll be very honest with you Well, I mean, we can go over the basics There are probably thousands, thousands of roaches We got them when we moved to Oakmouth Correct Because we had a referral when we moved to Oakmouth for roaches as well Yeah I'm going to recommend, I know you guys really adore your dogs, but this is not fit for them either I mean, I have to call, get a hold of animal control after seeing this Could I not take them down to my parents? Let me think about that a lot Then your daughter's not going to be in conditions to where she can go there to visit No, not my parents So you want to make your parents live like this? No, just till we get everything What he's trying to get to you, we can't make you, but what you need to do is tomorrow to call animal control yourself and get rid of all your dogs and all your pets Yeah Quit thinking about your dogs Are you getting -- for your dog? Yes You do believe in -- for dogs Yeah Okay Well, there's three people you should care about right now Yeah You, you and your daughter Yeah Forget about everything else that's in there Yeah The dogs really don't matter right now And I'm also going to kind of butt in here I'm usually pretty, but you guys had some issues when you moved from one house and they transferred here You're kind of doing the same thing If you continue to just like move one piece of property to another house, to another house, to another house, dogs can like the same thing issue That's why we also like told Albert, like, he's going to have to throw away your daughter's clothes We told, told Albert, he's going to have to throw away her clothes, take her to a doctor She was digging at her skin and everything She might also be carrying cockroaches in places that she was scratching at itching because cockroaches burrow Um, so no, there's also some issues like your dogs might be carrying them and make transfer them to your parents' house So carrying them from this house might also take them over to your parents' house We don't want to keep creating issues all, all around you guys Cause at some point, like it's going to come to like a giant head and cause problems for everyone around So you guys really need to think about what's important to you at this point, whether that be your daughter, your dogs, your home, and, and make a decision You guys need to think about that tonight and really If you can't afford to clean this up, Yeah we'll get it done Oh I'm just going to say it's, I'm going to go ahead and say it's very unlikely What you probably need to do is consider getting a different place to live and start clean I'm just being transparent with you Okay That makes sense (Unintelligible) You guys aren't going to clean this house up I don't know what is even salvageable You need to just You'd be surprised what I can do Well... But you're digging yourself a hole (Unintelligible) What you need to do is think about tomorrow, Yeah start a new life tomorrow Cause if you don't, you know what the result is The results, no daughter and criminal court It is what it is Yeah This safety plan just says that you guys have demonstrated that you guys aren't going to go over there, try and um, cause any problems for Albert You guys are going to abide by the safety plan Um You're not going to go over there and try to move in with him or anything at this point If you guys are going to move, you're going to stay in contact with us and let us know where you guys are living And if you guys do decide to move, we're okay with that We'll just need to continue with the safety plan and try to move forward and help you guys So it just says that Albert's going to supervise and ensure a clean and appropriate residence for (redacted) to reside in And we'll ensure that no unsupervised contact between parents and child at this point So you guys agree that that's kind of what we've talked about here tonight? Okay Do you guys have any questions about that? This plan will be in effect for at least the next nine days We can shorten that and we can also extend that So if a court process ensues, it'll probably be longer Um But we can also change this to an in home safety plan if that needs to happen So is that, do you guys understand that so far? Okay So I just have to have you guys sign this here under caretaker signature I need both of you guys to sign where that X is Reader's digest version If you get your life together, shorter than 90 days, there's a chance that you could go to court and possibly even get your daughter back That’s absolutely correct That's always great But if you do nothing, Yeah then the other answer is like they just said, they will extend it See, that's why I was asking that because like we love our daughter So then tomorrow you need to (unintelligible) So it's like, no question, whatever Need to love her more And I just wanted to know that if we did anything, it would matter It is Everything you do, (Unintelligible) from this moment forward, everything you do is going to matter You can actually help You're going to continue in your future to raise your daughter or the decisions you make are going to make choices that you're not going to raise your daughter Tiffany and Robert were booked into the Clay County Jail and faced charges of child neglect Their child was brought into the custody of her grandfather Do you think Tiffany and Robert deserve another chance to parent, or should their daughter stay with her grandfather for good?

Yes Okay So How, how did we get to where we're at right now? Where there is both of you inside of a bar Because And there's a child in the car Yeah, uh, this bar is like Before I even got pregnant, it's already, I was known with everyone Say hi first before I leave And then I ask him if he's ready He's trying to pay his bill You know the paper His tab? Yes, tab, yeah He's trying to pay that and we will leave I think they were ready So I went to -- and then leave my phone in the table where he's sitting at And then I just, run here because the baby is alone, yeah? So I was going to grab it back just to make sure he's okay So why is the baby alone in the car? 10-4 Because I couldn't bring him with me inside because it's a smoking bar It's a bar in general Right, a smoking bar Where a kid does not belong Right I just had to -- so bad, I couldn't hold it, yeah? And I have to get cash from him if he's not ready to go home yet So when did you guys get here? (Clarisse unintelligible) Maybe 10 minutes when you guys are out here Like I said, he was paying his tab Maybe getting ready to go and we go Cuz, you can ask the bartender He already have the paper ready The one you sign when you pay And then you're giving the money Actually, if you look in the paper you, should say the time that he was trying to tap out Because we wanted to go home, you know And I didn't mind if he didn't want to leave So did you guys get here at the same time? No, separate Okay He was here 3 hours or more Okay, he's been here for 3 hours or more? Mm-hmm Okay Yes And you said his vehicle is where? Over there Black It's a black vehicle over there? Yeah, uh (Unintelligible) Black And this is mine (Unintelligible) What time did you get here? What time I got here? I know it's not long because I just happened to come here because I wanted to get cash from him That way we can go to CVS and get my baby needs But if he's ready to go home, then I'll take him with me That's all it is But, um So how long do you think it is? 10 minutes maybe when you were here And then I have to -- real fast And I So you mean you've been here 10 minutes? Yes Okay And you're saying you came here to get cash from him? Yeah, I was here to get cash If he has it, and if he's ready to go home, then we can all go home He said yes, and so he's paying his tab I think if you go to the bartender and ask for the paper bill, you know, what he paid for, or what he's about to pay, it should say the time there somewhere, what time he's cashing out So we're just waiting on her to finish with other customers, and then we'll go And because I know the people there, so I say, okay, bye, bye, yeah Okay, is there a reason there was a drink in front of you? Well, I think I will do one, but then I don't really want it, so it's not like I drink it So I said, okay, just to say okay to people, and then I'll leave I'll go leave, because I think he can drive, he can manage, yeah So I'm still okay with the baby, even if I go to CVS or not So It didn't matter to me It's just he's teething and crying all the time at home, so I didn't know how to stop him sometimes So then I just give him a ride here and there, even though he's not here Okay So even for 10 minutes, Yeah You left him, in your mind it was 10 minutes, right? That's what you're saying? I actually check in between, because I wanted to see if he's paying or ready to go, and then I come back I have to run back, yeah I ask him, are you ready to go? So yeah, and he's paying the tab You're checking on what in between? Checking on the child in between? Yeah, I go one out here, and then after I --, I go back in here, and then I ask him if he's ready to go He's paying the tab, and then I come out again I even left my phone, because I see people, so I like Come back out real fast I said, I got to go so they can let him go It is my fault, so I'll take the responsibility So when we got here, what were you doing inside? I was talking to them and see if he's ready to go He's paying the tab, and we'll go Okay Yeah So, did you— So when you went in to use the restroom, Yeah was that a separate time? No I just left my phone, because I go run faster And then I said, hold on, I'll come back, because I can't hear the bartender And then I see him cashing out, so I said, okay, I'll wait, let's go But that's all I wanted to know, because it is actually my fault I should have never come here (Officer unintelligible) Because I did, it's my fault I let him go out by himself, yeah So were you coming here to pick him up? Cause you knew No, I needed cash I don't work, I'm sorry It was just for the cash? Yes It was just for the cash So if he's ready to go, then we will all go But if he's not ready to go, I respect that, since I let him go out So now I've been— Does he not like answering Could you get in touch with him another way?

So when he starts crying and freaking out, she doesn't know what to do So immediately, she texts me or messaged me from, you know, head on stuff over at 1405, doing payroll or whatever, or out getting groceries or whatever I'm doing (Radio chatter) So tonight, I asked for two hours just to go out I got here at 8:30 tonight, and she came in roughly, what time is this now, probably a half hour ago, according to what they say, it was 15 minutes since you guys got here And she came in and she says, you ready to go?
