This is a normal occurrence that they see her 12 at midnight walking around in a t-shirt and her underwear, no shoes. Wow. >> But she's always walking around the neighborhood by herself. >> Right. >> You're about to watch these moms ditch their responsibilities while their kids end up paying the price. >> I call I told him that he come out and I says, "Call the call 911 that she tried killing her son." >> Oh god. [ __ ] God. [screaming] God is social media. >> When a child has to walk alone, run for safety, and figure out how to survive. That's when motherhood has already fallen apart. Remember, >> let's approaching bad. We don't want to do this in front of kids. >> On May 3rd, 2025, a 5-year-old child left home in a dangerous state, looking for help from complete strangers. Behind that child was a family situation spiraling out of control. When police arrived, what was captured afterward completely changed the way the incident was seen. >> I forgive you. >> Okay. >> I love you. >> One second. >> Come back for me. Hey, >> all right. You send her up and get her to that car. [screaming] >> All right. >> You get her left arm. I get her right arm. >> No. >> You know what? Just stay. >> You know what?

This is >> We can't say for sure if this is her normal state all the time, but what the child has lived through for months is hard to deny. And once prayer stops working, the need for control shifts into physical reaction and the chaos keeps rolling. >> I love you >> and then we can secure it to a gurnie gy. >> Yeah, come take me to prison. That's fine. >> Take me to wherever. >> Yeah, take me to fine. >> Yeah, I really want to go to prison. >> I do have a ride on. >> Yeah. >> Oh yeah, I want to go to prison. These guys are the devils.

He's trying to kill me. Hey, >> relax. Relax. >> I'm going to get all the info and do the report. You good? >> Okay. I don't think you got use force at all. It was just me >> holding her down. >> I mean, we'll ask somebody. >> I You didn't do anything. That was mainly me doing it. >> I [ __ ] my only begotten son. >> She went down and came right back up. >> This is a nightmare situation for any child to be trapped in. Her words get more and more unhinged, showing clear instability. What's scary isn't just the breakdown, it's how fast she can snap back into normal and try to fool authorities right after causing harm. >> So far, I don't have anything because alls I saw was him struggling with her on the ground. So, I came running up to help him. But that's what I was going to do is I was going to collect some info from the neighbors and see if they saw the >> ended up I'm assuming down there. >> Yeah. I'm going to go talk to them. So, uh, so basically what we have is these guys here. >> She lives suspect lives here with her son >> and grandma. >> Okay. >> Um, >> so grandma's still grandma's not there. Oh, she's not there. >> Grandma's at a party. >> Okay. >> Um, and so no one else should be in the home. >> Um, little comes up, knocks on their door, there's blood on their door. >> Okay. >> So, we're going to get pictures of that. >> I'll I'll grab pictures of that. So, don't worry about that. They're working on witness statements right now. >> Okay. >> Um, son comes up and says, "My mom hit me in the head with a statue >> in the house and then tried to drag me." >> Oh my gosh. Okay. >> So, >> their son gets her in a headlock out here and it sounds like you guys arrived pretty shortly after. >> Yeah. That sounds seven-year-olds going into primaries uh with severe injury. I can basically guarantee you right now that at the bare minimum you're going to haveated child abuse. >> Child abuse. >> Sounds good, man. >> So, I'll go start working on that. I'll contact UCFS for you and I'll try to get >> I'll try to get uh kiddos info. >> All right. I appreciate you, man. >> So, could you kind of give me a rundown of what happened? >> Okay. I was sitting at the window at the couch, >> okay? >> And all of a sudden, the doorbell rang. I seen the little boy come walking around, but I didn't see any blood or anything. And he come walking around and he rang the doorbell and I got up and I come down to answer the door. By the time I got down there, he was gone. >> Okay. >> But there's blood on the door on the step and he went running down that way. >> Okay. >> And then I walked down that way and to see what was going on. And then the lady, she come walking around. She's call the cops. Call a cop. >> I tried killing them. >> Her behavior doesn't stay inside the home. She chases the child, forces her way into a neighbor's house, and assaults someone in that household. At that point, the child isn't being treated like someone to protect. She's being treated like proof of the mother's personal failure, something she wants to erase at any cost. >> And then what else happened? >> And then uh I called I told him that he come out and I says, "Call the call 911 that she tried killing her son." >> Uhhuh. >> So he did. And then we talked to the the dispatch and they got all you guys coming here and >> the little boy, he was scared. He wants his grandma, >> right? >> And everything, but his grandma's not home. >> And that's why I need to go know if I can get a card with the name on it and that so I can call have her call you guys. >> And I was told by another officer she went into your home. >> Yes, she went. >> So, what happened with that? Okay. So >> we're standing down there with the little boy >> and the door is open like it is now >> and we have a girl downstairs. >> Okay. So that's a charge loot in front of a child. >> I'm not very good. >> We pulled him in the background. >> Oh no, you agree. >> I know they probably already talked to you. Um I'm initial on this call. Do you mind just giving me a rundown of what you kind of told them? >> So do you mind holding that for a second? I'm just kidding. >> I was sitting in the garage. My dad saw a boy uh run down here and was standing looking this way and he's like, "What the heck is he bleeding?" Gets up, goes checks on her, checks on him >> and he was bleeding. We brought him back over here >> and got him sat down, started cleaning him up, asked him what was going on. >> He said that his mom tried beating with the statue that two um and tried drowning him as well. And she's been doing it all day today and So, I'm just trying to comfort him, making sure he's okay. I'm like, "You okay, bud? Like, is there anything I can do for you? You want water? Do you?" >> And you noticed he had blood on him. >> Oh, yeah. >> Where did he have blood on him at? >> Top of his head, face, neck, clothes, shorts, >> you name it, he had it. >> And I noticed her came back out naked down there. >> So, she was originally >> The child was taken to the hospital with injuries to the head, face, and neck. The child is safe now, but the psychological scar of having a mother like that is something the law can't heal. Meanwhile, the mother was taken for evaluation and is facing charges. Felony child abuse, disarming an officer, and burglary/trespass of an occupied home. If convicted, she could be looking at up to a $10,000 fine, up to 5 years in prison, and potentially permanent loss of custody. What do you think about how someone can switch mental states that fast? Do you think it's drugs or a deeper personality fracture? One child just got pulled out of hell and then we're told another three-year-old had to walk to school alone. On January 29th, 2025 in Florida, a 3-year-old girl was found standing alone outside a daycare gate. No one came looking for her. No explanation, no rush of panic, just an eerie stretch of time where she waited in a way no toddler ever should. Once police got involved, the real picture behind the story started [music] to surface and it wasn't what anyone expected. >> She's the one who seen her. I don't know if you knew. >> Do you Who you seen her? >> Yeah, I saw her. >> Where was she walking from? >> She looked like she was coming from the store. I just so happened to be scanning outside >> talking to the um CDA people about my credentials. >> Okay. >> And I just seen her run down the street. She came in the gate, came through the gate, opened up these gates by herself. >> Yeah. >> And came in. >> And since we've been out here, this has been going on I said about 20 minutes. Nobody has come looking for her. So that means she was out here by herself. >> Okay. >> She's not even four yet. >> Okay. And we all we know who her parents are, right? She said, >> this is a they come to her school. >> Yeah, they they just started coming here. Maybe this might be the third week. >> Okay. But from what I'm hearing, just neighborhood talk, this is a normal occurrence that they see her 12 at midnight walking around in a t-shirt and her underwear, no shoes. It clearly has given her back to mom. >> Okay. >> And doesn't seem like mom even know she missing. >> Yeah. So, we'll figure it out. >> This is normal. So, I'm like, okay, the system is failing cuz why has nobody You have kids getting taken out the house from their parents pinching them. But she's always walking around the neighborhood by herself, right? >> And they not doing anything. They haven't taken her from the parents. >> Okay. All right. So, I gota I'll see if I can find the DCF >> because this is about the Cuz I know I have to call two since I saw it. So, they don't take my stuff. >> Yeah. >> Um >> this is not the first time she's come up here by herself. >> Yeah. >> And the parent doesn't even know. This is about the third or the fourth time she has come just walked on campus and just like, "Hey." >> Okay. Is she okay in the office for a second? I'm sure. >> Okay, cool. I'm going to talk with a good officer here. We'll be right in. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Your number >> go here, right? >> No, she does. She's been enrolled here for this should be about the third week. >> Okay. >> But this is even before she was enrolled. She has just come on to cancer. >> So, I remember she used to do it all the time. >> Yeah. But she's not even and nobody still has come looking for her. She's not she's not four until the next month. The fact that the child was put back into old clothes and was reportedly wandering around at midnight in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear shows something bigger. Neglect had been normalized. The mother seemed to believe the neighbors or the daycare would always be a free safety net to catch the gaps where her responsibility should have been. >> Telling you just from, you know, asking around that she's always wandering the neighborhood by herself all hours of the night. supposedly the older brother is touching them >> and yeah >> the mother and the information >> yep 609 609 >> and that's the child and I've we've BCF has been called within the last couple of weeks two to three times people are always trying to um uh uh take the girl back home it's just a a lot >> and so one time they were saying DCF. The mom was telling me, "Well, DCF let my sister or someone keep her, but my sister um told me I got to come get my baby." And so, I don't know what's going on. >> Yeah. >> But they they en enrolled at our daycare because DCF gave the referral. Gotcha. >> Because I guess DCF there was on some type of watch with DCF. >> But like now I'm calling her this morning like where are the kids cuz you know we got a cut off time. Yeah. >> She didn't answer and then we see the baby walking by herself. So it's like if she just like I told her just bring the kids to the school every day. >> Yeah. >> Just bring them to school. But she said it's something about her lock. >> This is grandpa right here. >> Is it grandpa >> was telling herself thinking it was the uh little short guy that placed uh dominoes. >> I thought maybe that might have been him when the call came out, but then she wound up coming here. >> What? She going to school. When I left, I took her brother to school over here at the max and her mother left her sleep and she when I come out the door they got all kind of things on the knob so she can't get out and she I don't know how she get out the house. >> Where she at then? >> She's inside. >> Um, so are you watching her or is the mom is the mom watching her or >> mama let us Iok her took my grandson to school. When I come back she let us sleep and she and I got out the house. I called around the house when I got back. I ain't I ain't seen the house. I just want to take a walk. >> Instead of owning the lack of supervision, the family tries to shift blame onto a technical issue. And the mother staying asleep while her child is missing says a lot about how casual the care had become. Records also show DCF had previously removed the child, then later returned her to the mother. >> You have ID on you? >> Yeah. Dispatch 21 96. I got ID. >> Dispatch 2 one on2 >> cuz you got the baby, right? You got the baby in there with you, right? >> All the kids were taken away and they were living in the co and she somehow got them all back and are looking to win that is. And if there's an open case or if I need to open case >> two one. >> Oh, there might already be an open case. That's what I'm trying to figure out. There's in >> 10 thing. You listen to this other >> It's been off and on. So that's what we're trying to figure out where to go. Hey. >> Um you've got the daughter, the little girl down back there. Okay. >> So we're working with our community liaison zone. Um she's worked with DCF. She's been involved with this family off and on. Um she was there when the kids were originally taken away and now we're trying to look and see if there's a current open case or if we can open a new DCF case involving all this. and just >> we're trying to figure all the pieces cuz no same officer obviously has ever been out here every single time. So, you know, I I haven't been out here in a couple weeks. I don't >> The mother managed to put on a convincing moral [music] mask in front of authorities to regain custody. In short check-ins, she played the role of I've changed, but once the cameras left, the same pattern returned, built on an overconfident belief that she could keep slipping past the system. >> They're going to get her now. know exactly when they took all the kids out of that home and when she regained custody of them. And I don't know how she regained custody because usually if you've got them taken away like there's a lot of steps you gota get through to prove that like you can >> whoever they giving them to if it's the auntie the auntie just taking them back like I don't got time >> sure but I I I spoke to our community person and she said that mom got custody approved back like it was approved for her to have custody again the kids. So, I'm not sure exactly what all occurred, >> okay, >> with all these cases, but I'll get you a business card before we take off with our case number, and then um either there's a colonel, uh DCF case, I'm going to talk to the officer, or I'm going to open a new one, and we're going to keep working through this and figure out a better solution. No, you don't have to do anything. I'll get you that that case number here in a second. Okay. >> Thank you, ladies. Appreciate it. >> Oh, you're welcome. Yeah. So, what's the download? >> I don't know yet. Evan's going to call me back. She's looking into the case. She's going to come out to the house, but she's looking out now. She kept living in the illusion that because DCF gave the child back, that meant she must be doing fine. But when officers checked the locks and confronted her directly about how the child got out, the peak moment [music] exposed the truth. This wasn't a one-time mistake. It was long-term neglect. >> She know how to open. I just told her to do it. She just >> Yeah, she know how to open that little thing on the little tap on the knob. They broke >> she's broke both of them. >> I told you >> we need this control in in the most sense mostly because of her. >> Dad was just over there. He said he wasn't coming over here looking at y'all. >> I told you. I been telling >> dad ain't getting the kids no matter what. And he ain't pass no background anyway. So he can't take the kids. >> Oh, for real? >> Yeah. So it's going to be your sister. [clears throat] >> Not all of them are my It's DJ and her. Look. Come here. Look, they all got a goat. >> How many you got in there, girl? >> Where those all coming from? >> Whoa. How you got them stuck in there? >> Y'all, too. >> You ready to go back to daycare? >> Yeah. You ready? >> That's where we going to go. that my daughter had a car and then >> Oh, you got to let me mix it up again. >> I just got back yesterday. >> All right. You going to be here when I come? >> Nope. >> Um, I'll be the office. >> Okay. >> Say abracadabra. >> Oh, they don't wear shoes. >> They gone. >> Is it in your ear? >> Need a poo. Come over. >> It's in this ear over here. Oh, wait. No, I see it. >> There it is. >> Let's go to daycare. All right. All right. See, look. You don't need no jacket. >> With me. >> Oh, you don't need no jacket. >> Go get your jacket. >> Where's your jacket at? >> Where's your jacket at? >> I don't know. >> You don't know. >> Bless you. >> Smash it. >> Hm. >> Smash it. >> Smash it. Oh, >> you got to need two of them. I need a second one to smash it >> right here. >> In your ear, but it's right here. How is it in your ear? >> Go get your jacket, girl. >> We can't play anymore. We got to go get jacket. All right, >> come on. Come on. >> In the end, she was arrested and faced charges for child neglect/abandonment. DCF officially removed all children from that home, and honestly, that may be the harshest penalty a mother can receive. What do you think about this mother? Is a nap or a broken lock ever worth a child's safety? Drop your thoughts in the comments. A child walks to school because she's been abandoned. Somewhere else, one stupid punch turns saving my husband into a brand new charge. On September 9th, 2024, Ohio police received a panicked call from a woman reporting the strange disappearance of her husband. Location data only cranked up the tension, but as her anxiety peaked, the line between reality and perception began to blur. >> Stop. Ma'am, I can't help you if I don't get information. >> Okay, calm down. Cooler heads. >> 61. The female's now driving off. Wants me to meet her wherever she's going. If you can try to call her back and tell her to stop so we can get more info. You can't. What are you doing? >> Please go down to the river. You can >> We are, but you can't be driving like that. >> Please go down right now. >> If you cause a crash though, >> I am telling you, >> you're going to get >> dead in the river right now. You're going to all be dead. >> I have all the police here. I'm trying to get them to go to see if Peter's in the river. >> We're trying. Give us a minute. Okay. You You can't be driving like that. >> This is my husband's location right now. >> He's not in the water. >> He was in the middle of the water. You need to go down. Someone go down there right now. I will not get back in my car. I swear to God. I will stand right here. But go down there right now. >> I am going now. >> Go right now. Go down there right now. Please. Oh my god. Not you. Okay. >> No. Okay, now he's moving. Can you see? He's right there. Okay, now he's moving. Okay. >> Okay. >> You don't understand, man. He's just worried about his life. He said it was from the middle of the river. He just quit his job 4 hours ago three little kids. He was very scared. And when I saw that, he said he was meeting with his coworker to try to get him to come and be a secretary. Where I saw it in the middle of the river, I was really scared for him. In Karen's mind, saving her husband became the ultimate mission, one important enough to justify ignoring basic public safety rules. She placed herself above the law, convinced that personal pain deserves special treatment. So when officers asked for information, instead of instantly obeying, she saw them as obstacles. >> Running red lights. >> Okay, I get it. >> Cuz what if somebody hits you and you get into a really bad accident? >> I get it. What if my husband's dead? I don't >> stop yelling. Oh my god. >> I understand you're upset. You do not need to cause a scene. >> Where was he supposed to go? >> Where was he supposed to mother? >> Where's your license at? >> Cuz you're about to be the same. >> I have my license on me. Okay. Take me in for God's sakes. >> Okay. Absolutely not. Put your hands behind the back. >> What is your problem? >> We're trying to help you. >> You weren't listening to me. >> You weren't talking. >> We told you to stop. >> You wouldn't stop there. I said, "Please go to the river." >> What do you think he's doing? He's down there. >> He's looking. >> You guys are the biggest [ __ ] I've ever met in my life. Sit down. We're looking for uh a male by the name of Peter Wenovich. His uh >> Huh. >> I don't know. >> I don't think so. >> His his wife is freaking out. Apparently, his phone is pinging down here somewhere. >> It's entirely possible the man wasn't missing at all. He may have been running from her. Karen's behavior shows a complete lack of emotional control and a willingness to turn violent the moment she isn't indulged. Being trapped in a marriage like that would be terrifying. You Pete? >> Yeah. >> How are you? >> Good. Is everything okay? >> Well, not exactly. Um, your wife is in custody right now. She was worried about you, so she was calling. Um, >> she's in custody. >> Yes. She struck one of the officers while we were trying to look for you. >> Oh my god. What happened? >> Uh, we were trying to get some information out of her about where you were at cuz your phone was pinging in the river. So, she thought you were in the river. So, we were trying to find you. >> Yeah. I was I was literally meeting. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, she wasn't listening when we were trying to >> Is she okay? >> She's okay. Yeah. She's just in custody right now. I literally just had a wonderful dinner. >> Okay. So, I I don't know why. >> So, where is she at? >> She's in the in the patrol car. She's going to be taken to >> the uh temporary holding facility here pretty soon and be booked. >> Why would she be booked? >> Just >> because she struck one of the officers. She's under arrest for assaulting an officer right now. >> I'm sorry that I have like disbelief on my face, but like >> I I mean I don't mean to >> Yeah. I'm just >> bring you bad news. And >> I'm just uh First off, she's okay, though. >> She is okay. Yes. >> Okay. >> Everything. >> So, like, how did she get arrested? How did you guys even know I was like here? Like, >> she was pinging your phone in the river. So, we were walking the the park trail down there looking for you. Eventually, she gave uh she must have given her phone to one of the other officers. We were using your location to just find you where you're at right now. >> Something clearly isn't right. There are signs she may have been tracking her husband's every move, hoping to catch proof of betrayal. The whole my husband is dead storyline she built to excuse her violence quickly falls apart. It wasn't about love. It was an emotional shield for personal collapse. >> Like just a misunderstanding. Like do you think that she was like >> scared that for my wellbeing? >> Yes, that's exactly what it was. >> So is there any way that we could just not have her booked and arrested? Like is there any possibility? >> We're past that. We're past that point. I don't know what I don't know what already happened. Unfortunately, she struck an officer. >> She's so >> I'm like in I mean >> any other circumstance I believe we could probably work this out. >> This is like a huge misunderstander of bad news. >> What? >> I said I'm going to be the bearer of bad things. >> Okay. >> Um so I don't know. I know you're going to get a traffic citation for >> but he's okay, right? My husband's not in the river. Okay, >> he's okay. >> I mean, honestly, he's >> go to jail like >> over by Fifth Street. That's where we [ __ ] Thank you. >> He's okay. >> He's all right. >> He's all right. >> My life just felt like it was over. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. Bad news already. >> So, the nicest news I have for you is that you're going to get a traffic citation. You're also going to go down to jail, okay? And you're going to get booked on a couple charges. I don't know what they are yet, but >> by the time she tried to explain it away as a misunderstanding, the damage was already done. She was taken to jail and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and traffic violations. She later accepted a plea deal that dropped the felony assault charge. After court, she was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 2 years of probation, and a $900 fine. While one child wanders alone, searching for safety, somewhere else, an abusive girlfriend pushes police to the breaking point. On February 28th, 2024 in Florida, a call from a concerned resident about a 2-year-old wandering alone brought police to the scene. But as officers followed the trail back to the child's home, they uncovered signs that sent the case in a completely different and far more troubling direction. Yeah, >> I was just walking my dog and I saw him there and I have no idea. Okay. >> I don't know how long there. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Hey, buddy. What's going on? Do you know where you live? Do you know where you live? What's your name? 475. Where'd you walk from? Can you point to where you came from? Did you come from that way? You came from that way. >> Yeah. Okay. Here, take my hand. Take my finger. Let's walk where you came from. Okay. You said you came from that way. Yeah. >> Let's get out of the road. Where you guys come from? >> My sister left him. >> Your sister left him? >> Mhm. Where do you guys live at? >> Who's filming there? >> I'm gonna I'm I got to make sure. Is mom home? >> No. >> No. >> Who's home with you guys? >> Me and my brother. >> Just you two. >> Uncle. >> Your uncle's home. >> How'd you get through here? >> Here. >> Okay, let's go a different way cuz I'm not going to be able to go that way and I can't let you guys go on your own. So, >> our house is right there. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, I can't let you guys go on your own, though. So, we're going to have to walk a different way around. >> Seven. >> Seven. Does Uncle know you guys are out? >> Yes. >> He knows you guys are outside. He knows this one's outside. >> Yes, but he didn't know that Milo. >> He didn't know. What? How old's Mila? >> Nine. >> She's nine. How old are you? >> Seven. How old is he? >> Two. >> Two. They're saying that they live in there. >> Walk around. >> He was over seven-year-old was over at the park. He just walked over here when he saw I was talking to the brother. But I'm not. There's no way I'm fitting through that. So, we're going to have to drive. We're have to walk around. >> The child's calm, almost routine behavior while walking alone in the street suggests that figuring it out alone had become normal in that household. Officers quickly searched for whoever was responsible, and the first adult they encountered was the uncle, a key link in the family chain. >> You got an ID on you? I >> What's your name? Well, we got a problem. When there's a 2-year-old outside by himself, no one else is around >> by the middle of the road. >> By the middle by the road, and you're supposed to be watching them. >> That's a statement. >> Well, what's going on? Why aren't you watching us? >> What? >> Not to mention, your entire house smelled like weed. >> Yeah, I haven't got any cool parts. Uh, I don't know. >> We got to check that. >> I just got up. >> What's your sister? >> I don't have that. >> Come on over here. >> Come on over here. I got some questions to ask you first. You don't have to answer them. >> Right here. >> You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> I'm under arrest. I'm asking the questions as of right now. Are you in handcuffs? >> You're not under arrest yet. >> There's a 2-year-old child out in the middle of the road by himself and you're supposed to be watching them. >> I'm supposed to be watching. Where's your ID? >> I just got I have an ID. >> Okay, we're going to continue. You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? Instead of focusing on the child's safety, he prioritized defending the legality of his marijuana use. At the same time, he dodged responsibility by blaming another sister, trying to sidestep trouble. It was a reaction that clearly put personal convenience above a child's protection. >> So, this is your time to tell you your side of the story. But before we ask you to tell your side of the story, we have to ask you this question. >> Can you guys go inside? >> Well, I don't. But if you're going to be like this and you're not going to answer any questions in my in my report, all I'm going to say is that you refuse to answer any questions. >> Okay. >> So, are you ready to answer these questions so we can ask you and you can tell your side of the story? >> Or do you just want me to go based off of my observations? >> Well, obviously he snuck out the house with the other kids and they left from my side. I wasn't paying attention. I was looking Do you understand? >> I need a verbal sorry, >> a verbal yes or no. >> Speak it. I can't have a head knot. >> Yes. >> Anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> You're saying that they left the house. What do you mean they left the house? >> What? >> They they got they got they got older sister and two older sister and brother. I thought they was in the room playing the game. Okay. And what were you doing at the time? >> I was in the front room. >> Okay. You said earlier that someone was supposed to be taking them to the park and must have left them at the park. >> Yeah. >> Who was supposed to take him to the park? >> I thought my sister Maya was taking them to the park. >> How old was your sister Maya? >> She she not I guess she might not when I went I guess I was. >> So you don't know when Maya left? >> I don't know when Maya left. >> Okay. So they probably try to call her out, but I I can't tell you my >> Do you have Maya's phone? >> No, I have my phone. >> I mean, I just got out. >> And who is Maya? >> My sister. >> And who is she to the kids? >> Her aunt. So where are this kid's parents? >> Is that lady in there? >> Yeah. >> So that's your other sister? He deliberately created a fog of information, hoping to make it harder for police to pinpoint responsibility. He understood that muddying the facts could spread out the consequences, but officers quickly cross-cheed statements and verified details with the young witness, exposing the real chain of neglect. >> My name is Melanie, and I love your name. >> Thank you. >> So, Camila, I have a few questions. First of all, do we know right from wrong? >> Yes. >> Yes. So, if I say the sky is purple, am I telling you the truth or a lie? >> A lie. >> A lie is what color is the sky? >> Blue. >> Okay. If I say that hot dogs are food, >> am I saying am I saying the truth or lie? >> True. >> Oh, cuz when did you when did you leave to go to the bar? >> Do you know? >> Yeah, it was in the morning. >> In the morning. Okay. Was that when Maya was still here? >> My >> Yes, Auntie Maya. Is that when she was still here? >> Um, yeah. >> Okay. Did you leave when Auntie Maya left or did you >> No, I stay I I stayed at the park. >> Did she take you to the park? >> No. >> Or you guys just went on your own? >> Went on my own. Who was supposed to be watching you? >> Jesus. >> That's a good question, baby girl. Like here in the apartment for today, who was supposed to be watching you? >> Oh, me, my little brother. My baby brother went. >> Okay. And who was But who was supposed to be, if you were to ask somebody in the apartment, if you can go to the park, who would you have asked? >> My mom or my auntie? >> Okay. They were both supposed to be watching you. No. >> If you wanted cookies, >> who would you ask to have some cookies today? If you were when you were in there and you wanted some cookies earlier, who would you have asked to have some cookies? >> My mom. >> Your mom. >> Okay. Would you have ever asked your uncle? >> No. >> No. Do you leave your uncle alone? >> Huh? >> Do you leave your uncle alone? >> Yeah. The child's answers became the clearest evidence of systemic irresponsibility. The mother had chosen to sleep deeply without assigning supervision to anyone, assuming that older kids would watch the younger ones or that things would somehow work themselves out. She was soon awakened to face reality. >> Whose place is it? >> Sir, I can't give you that answer. I don't know exactly. >> So, how did you get in here? From my understanding, it's my sister. >> And where is your sister at? >> Do you have her phone number? >> I do have her. >> Can you call her >> and find out? >> Okay, I can do that for you if you ask me a question, I'll be there. >> Yeah. No, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. >> Um, and how many kids are in the house? >> Second. >> How many kids are in the house? Sir, I was just asking him something before you walked up. Did you want to know what I was asking? >> No, no, no. I want to know how many kids. >> I was just asking this officer something. >> So, what you ask? >> I'm sorry. >> You say you was asking me something good. >> Oh, I got the right stuff. Um, cuz her is on. I don't touch her stuff. You know what I'm saying? I'm really just trying to stay her house and AC been gone the whole time in here. So, >> but for right now, we need to keep y'all separated. >> We can stay separated. That's fine. Me and him. I could go downstairs, too. It It doesn't really It do matter, but it don't matter. I don't wear clothes. >> Anybody else up here with the kids? >> Um, let me call. They could come outside. I mean, I just want to throw the AT on, you know, of course that cost money. I have five kids. I've already answered these questions. >> You haven't answered. I just found out that you have five kids. I didn't know that. >> Let me see. I've answered these questions with another officer. >> Gotcha. So now I'm new officer. You have five kids. >> I put them all in the >> name. Okay. Just >> Marcus. >> I know that you don't trust everything, but I appreciate. Okay. >> All right. We're going to go ahead and come down. >> Thank you, Marcus. In the end, the woman was arrested and taken to jail for child neglect in this case. Along with a long history of warrants related to violence and abuse, she was sentenced to 3 years of probation. Custody of the children was placed under strict DCFS supervision. Do you think 3 years of probation is enough to change instincts already eroded by violence and indifference? One mother is handcuffed because her child wandered alone. Somewhere else, another girlfriend pushes police to the edge and only regrets it afterward. On October 19th, 2025, Harwood Heights police responded to what was reported as a serious domestic dispute. [music] But once they arrived, it became clear that this story was far more complicated than the version they were first told. >> Did you call? >> Yes, I called. >> What's going on? >> My girlfriend is up. >> I was supposed to go to work. She got pissed off. >> Supposed to go to work? >> Yes. Okay. >> She got pissed off. She started slapping the [ __ ] out of me. Her dad witnessed it. I did give her a Xanax out of my medication. >> You gave it to her? >> Yes. Cuz she surp She's uh >> She have a prescription for it >> and she doesn't have them. So I gave them to her. She slapped the [ __ ] out of me last night. I left >> and she still beat me up. >> No, no, no, no. That's not what happened. >> This is her. So what's going on? >> I was sleeping in the bed. I woke up. He goes, "Oh, look what I got. Your pills. your pills. I said, "Give me my pills. Give them to me now." And I took they were in my cigarette pocket. He goes, "No." And then my dad saw that we were f he the room we were in our bedroom. So the room was all the way, you know, like not cracked. >> Where that bruise is? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> [ __ ] [ __ ] out of me. Her dad seen me hit her. She seen her dad seen her hit me. >> Mhm. Okay. >> And that's why he said call the cops. >> That's how he That's how he does it. He's a very violent [ __ ] and if he doesn't get what he wants and that's it. Dad is a sexist pig. He doesn't really like me. He's my boyfriend does everything for him. So, he always gives him the upper hand and that's >> your dad can come down here and witness that she slapped the [ __ ] out of me. >> He wouldn't do it. It was my dad. My dad's like, "You do it. I don't care." >> Said he slapped you in the face. >> Yeah, he smacked me in the face right here. >> He smacked me all over the face. Okay. >> Did you hit him? >> No, I pushed him. >> Pushed him. So, you hit him. >> Pushed him. >> Pushing to me is not hitting. It's getting him away from me. >> Okay. Still physical. >> Oh, you can say what you want, but if somebody's going to What are you going to do if somebody's going to You're going to go like this. Get away from me. That's like it. >> Sure. That's No, that's not outside. >> All I said is give me my stuff. Give me my cigarettes. He goes, "Nope." And he goes, "I got your last cigarette." Ha ha. I said, "Give them to me. Just give me my cigarettes." saying, "Get the out. You got to go to work." My dad's like, "Oh," >> Instead of listening, she went on the attack, projecting onto others exactly what she was trying to hide. Not even her own father was spared. But when both her husband and her father told the same story, the curtain began to fall and reality started speaking for itself. >> He's been drinking. >> Have you had anything to drink? >> Yeah, he has. I haven't. >> You haven't? Okay. >> No, I'm sober. >> Okay. I just want to figure out what we could do here, right? >> Well, that's all he wants to do. And then he always hangs out with my dad. And my dad has mental problems and I don't want to deal with this. I've looked at my my places for rents. I thought things were getting good. And then he'll say something, he'll do something. He's a sneaky thief. And he's done. My dad's not My dad doesn't like him either. My mom doesn't like him. Nobody does. And I I left my whole family to be with I slapped him so hard. Where is it? He slapped me in the face when I asked him. He goes, "So he slapped you right here. >> He stole thy cigarettes." And I said, "Yeah, where are my cigarettes? Give it to me." And I tried to take it out of his mouth like this. And he smacks me. And he smacks me like this. >> Yeah. He Hey, we're not talking. You're not talking to her. She's not talking to you. That's how this works. >> Come stand in this hallway. >> Come right here. Grab your back. Stand right here. >> Oh, I stand right here. Leave that Keep that door open so I can hear >> with you. >> Yes. And he's a sexist pig. You know, my sister doesn't like him. One of my brothers doesn't like him. Nobody likes him. >> Did you say come in? Officer Warner with the Hardest Police Department. >> Talking to your daughter and >> she, you know what? One thing, she does not live here. >> Okay. >> Okay. Yesterday, let me put it to this way. My daughter can't keep her hands to herself. She's slapping people around, doing stupid [ __ ] and ran into the car. >> I didn't press charges, but now you know what I'm kind of done. >> I'm kind of there before. >> Yes, you have. >> It was with me and my dad. My dad has phone on the floor. >> He called the cops for me doing the dishes at night and they started laughing. >> My dad is not fully there. Go ahead. >> She believed pregnancy combined with the moral high ground of being a daughter who once felt rejected gave her the right to control the legal process. The facts told a different story. Alcohol and Xanax showed up together. It painted a picture of emotional instability where the need to control others outweighed the safety of her unborn child. >> Charges. Yes. >> Yes. >> Dad says he witnessed her hit him last night arguing over money. He didn't mention anything about today. >> Oh, well, he didn't see it today. I walked out pissed, >> but [clears throat] he said he has never seen him hit >> 15 times. I ordered a pizza. I ordered her boxes >> to store her storage. >> Okay. >> I paid for them. She didn't want to give me 130 bucks that she owed me. >> Okay. >> So, I ripped the boxes up cuz they were mine. I paid for them. >> Okay. >> I tried replacing them today when I came over. >> The storage unit across the street is closed. >> Couldn't do it. Everything was fine >> and we got in an argument and she slapped the [ __ ] out of me twice again tonight. >> Okay. >> And her dad saw it. I did not hit her. >> The only time I ever hit her was direct sex. Slap in the face together. >> What time are you supposed to be at work? >> 6:00. We're not going to argue it out here. >> We're not arguing. >> Yeah, you are. All I was doing is in my room taking a nap and then this [ __ ] started. You >> Hey, what did I just say? >> That's all I was doing. >> You're addressing him and I told you not to address him. Talk to me. >> You don't have to talk to me like that. >> Well, you're not listening to me. >> Yes, I am. >> Well, you keep doing what I keep telling you not to do. So, that's the definition of not listening. And I am not a physical person and everybody knows that. I don't believe in that t that [ __ ] >> He came over here for us. So he left yesterday and he should have stayed gone. >> It was over there. >> What did I say? >> I bought >> You're not listening either. >> I bought boxes. He just I lived I have a 17year-old daughter. >> Okay. >> He doesn't listen to me cuz he's the sexist pig. He doesn't like women. Our job is to cook, clean, and and whatever else. >> Okay? >> I am not his mate. I come here cuz I know if nobody else and my siblings don't take care of him, he will be dead in a month. And he started, >> even with her own father standing there as a witness, she still needed a new script. One where she was the victim. But when that story stopped convincing anyone, the manipulation cracked. And at that point, Karen made her final move, openly challenging police authority. We talked to everybody involved, including your dad. And unfortunately, it's two-sided story. Go one way, one side goes your way. And it's differenting of stories. It's a domestic battery. We're going to be doing what we have to do. >> He hit me. So now So he hit me in the face. So now I'm going into jail. >> No, he he's claiming to hit him. >> Are you serious right now? >> Then get the [ __ ] out of my house now. >> I need you to turn around. >> You're under arrest. Do you understand? Hello. >> Do you understand? Hold on. No. No. No. We're done. We're done. You're under. >> No, we're not. Put your hands on it now. >> Hit me. >> Back. You're going to end up >> Tony. You're out of my house and we're done. >> Excuse me. Don't youing. >> You're going to be walking or dragging to the car. That's how this goes from this point on. >> You don't let go of me right now. If I fall, I'm going toinging kill you. >> Yeah. Let go. >> You want to threaten me again? I'll charge you with that, too. >> Who the [ __ ] >> You just said you were threatening to kill me. >> Yeah, cuz I was going to fall, [ __ ] >> You're not going to fall? >> No. That's why. >> Let go of me. >> No. Now >> you're under arrest. >> Let go of me. I'm not doing anything. I >> was sitting the car. >> I love your dad to hit a girl. Lana smacked you during sex and she liked it. >> 1806. >> You good? >> Yeah. You to you stole everything out of my pocket. My cigarettes, my everything. My keys and I wanted it back. So I can go to work cuz I need the money. >> Tell your call your boss. >> No, he won't answer the phone. >> I will try to keep getting hold of him at least. You know >> I will when I get to the police station. My mom told me to stay away from thising girl. She shouldn't be acting like that bracket either, you know. >> No, she was beating her stomach. That's what I want toing. I want to get her a admitted to a hospital because she's been beating a stomach. >> What the man revealed tore apart the image she tried so hard to build. Her extreme behavior around the pregnancy exposed a loss of emotional control where the child was no longer something to protect but a symbol of resentment and revenge in her own inner war. >> So just listen. You're being charged with this. Okay? You're not judged with anything. >> Okay. Well, this is your first one. And here's what it goes. It's not you're not convicted of anything until a judge says guilty. That is a long ways from here to now. Okay? So, don't don't don't cry. You're not there yet. We are charging you. Everybody has everyone without anything wrong. >> Why is it okay for a man hit a woman? >> It's not okay for anybody to hit anybody. >> And then I get charged with it. >> Okay. You're not listening again. We're We're trying to I'm trying to explain this how this works. All right. We have to go there. We are not there. We have to try to determine what took place when we were not there based on the statements that you made, he made, and your dad made >> to leave. >> Okay. We had to come up with a plan based on that information. When we get to these domestic, we don't have a lot of room to go with. If this was three people that never met each other and this this occurred at a bar, we would probably not we would have never locked anyone up. But on a domestic, we are we our hands are tied. We have to do stuff. So >> So it's okay for him to >> I didn't say no. I said it's never okay for anybody to hit anybody no matter what. That's the rules. Look, based on the information we had, your story, their stories, don't >> I have been in an abusive relationship. Okay? [laughter] >> I know what that is. I left his the father, my daughter, cuz I couldn't do it. >> Okay. So, here. >> And now I met another guy that's the same way. >> Okay. Well, >> and my dad likes him because he does everything for my dad. >> Okay. Well, again, I don't know the whole dynamics. It's the first time I've ever met you in my life. All right. And that's what I'm trying to get to is try to understand the whole room there and what we had from what we can do at this minute, this small time we get allowed to do this. This is what we have to do. >> Well, that's that's decisions that will be taking place after today. Not now, not on a Sunday night at 6:20 at night. What's going to happen here is you're going to be processed. We're going to fingerprint you, photograph you, and process you. because it is a domestic related charge. You have to go in front of the >> In the end, the woman was formally charged with domestic battery, disorderly conduct, and obstruction of justice. [music] What do you think about the sentence she received? Is 30 days in jail enough to wake someone who's forgotten how to love their own flesh and blood? Violence crosses the line and regret finally shows up somewhere else, a car crash [music] turns a so-called victim into the one who caused the damage. On December 12th, 2023 in Florida, a speeding stop in a school zone should have ended with nothing more than a warning. But when the woman behind the wheel chose confrontation over cooperation, a simple situation slipped out of control. >> Correct address. >> Okay. This yes or no question. It's called a closeended question. Yes or no? >> Obviously, it is. I >> I don't know if it is cuz sometimes people don't change their addresses. >> Run them and please. Run them, please. >> Okay. I don't know why you have to act this way. I was simply coming over to tell you to slow down. Okay. >> Whatever you need to do, run it and see. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I got license. >> Yes. Do, Miss Britney, was give you a written warning or a verbal warning. Okay. And that's what I did. All I wanted to tell you was slow down. >> When you want to find your child, go find one of them kids cuz I'm 30. I already have a child. >> Thank you. My thank you. And by the way, you gave me the wrong registration. >> Okay, that must be to my other vehicle. I have a um my registration in here. >> Yes, it says for a Chevrolet, but I didn't give you a ticket for that cuz I'm being nice. >> Like I said, I'm 37. So, who gave you authority over me? I don't know. But I'm 37. >> I don't know, but I'm 57. So, I'm about 20 years older than >> And it don't matter. I'm not your child. >> You possibly could be my child. >> I'm not your child. >> Okay. And so, so what does that mean? >> I'm a grown woman. That's what that means. You're not going to treat me like a um a child. That's what it is. >> If you're speeding in the school zone, I could be fine. A >> when I pulled over and I gave you my registration and my license and >> I'm giving you like a $400 matter insurance >> and the registration. >> All I said was written warning. There you go. Okay. >> Try to have a better demeanor. I don't need it. >> We're done. We're done with the traffic stop. >> I don't think so. >> Be careful when you're backing out. I know you're grown, Britney. >> Don't think you're here because you're going to get a ticket. >> 37. Remember that. >> Ma'am, I don't I don't care how old you are. Okay. >> Said you ain't going to tell me what's new and nobody else name. >> Well, if it's the law, then yes, the law is going to tell you what to do. >> That's what you can do. That's the only thing you can do. >> Do you have issues that I need to be aware of? >> I'm 37. >> Okay. Do you have issues that I need to be issues? I'm asking you. >> You have issues. >> Um >> Oh, okay. >> No, she's good. She just had >> Oh, you know what? I forgot you. Maybe if you want to continue the uh the stop with inoperable equipment on. >> She believed her age and her status as a grown adult put her above police instructions. Even after handing over the wrong registration, she was given rare leniency, a warning instead of a $400 ticket. That should have been the end of it, but she needed to push back. And that's when everything went sideways. >> Miss Britney, you have a very terrible disposition. Very terrible. I feel sorry for whoever is involved in your life because your attitude is terrible. Have a good day. You have a good day. adding you too. >> Anything else? >> No, you're free to go. >> You got to watch out for the officer. Why would Okay, now >> about the vehicle. >> Yeah, he just stepped in front of my vehicle. You just tried to slam the door. >> No, you just front of my vehicle. I'm not going nowhere. It's okay cuz you just >> y Yeah, cuz you just stepped in front of my vehicle. I don't care about y'all not liking me. I don't I don't care nothing about y'all not liking me. >> Walking away. >> I don't care nothing about y'all without me being out of here. >> I don't care nothing about y'all not liking me because you know what? God going to take care of it all. >> I don't care nothing about not liking me. >> She's not Hey, you're not free to go now. You just That's an assault on. You better be have a blessed day today. Okay. Now you got a warning. >> Yeah, that's fine. Listen, you got a warning for your speed, which are good for some. >> For someone like her, being let off without getting the last word feels like losing. She no longer saw a human being standing in front of her car, only an obstacle. In her mind, a college degree became proof that she was a good person and therefore incapable of being a criminal. >> I am an official law enforcement officer certified in the state of Florida to enforce the laws. To enforce the laws. Okay? >> And you know, you know what? And I don't care if you don't like me. >> And I don't care about you not liking me either. >> No, you said it to me first. >> I don't care. >> Okay. I don't know where this attitude is coming from. >> The attitude is you harass the man. Harassing. >> You almost hit him with the car. You want to step out of the attitude? >> Do you want to step out of the car? >> I don't care nothing about you. >> You want to step out? >> I don't care about you not liking me. And you don't owe me nothing. And I don't owe you anything. >> We might as well go 105. >> How about you step out? >> I don't owe you nothing. And you don't owe me anything for what? You just tried to hit this officer and probable cause is aggravating. >> So go ahead and step out the vehicle. Turn your vehicle off and get out the vehicle. >> I'm not going to tell you this again. I'm asking you now to step out your vehicle. >> Yeah. Step out. Y'all will get what y'all don't get. >> That's fine. Step out your vehicle. Fantastic. >> Step out your vehicle. >> Hey, I'm not going to tell you again. Step out your vehicle, >> man. For evil, my baby. >> Step out the vehicle. >> Hey, do step out the vehicle. You're going to jail. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> Tom for >> You're being arrested. >> Oh, I'm not going to jail. >> Yeah, you are. Tom, put your hand behind your back. >> I'm not going to tell you again. >> I'm not going to jail. >> I'm asking you to turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> I'm not going to jail. >> Put your hands behind your back, >> Miss Britney. You're not going to be >> resist. Stop. >> You're going to jail. Put your hands behind your back. Stop resisting. >> Stop resisting or you're going to get paid. >> I'm not going to jail. station. >> I'mma get a lawyer. >> Get your lawyer. >> Get your lawyer. >> I'mma get no lawyer. Y'all will get what's coming to y'all cuz y'all going to wish y'all wouldn't have touched it. >> How about that? I don't care about y'all. Yeah. >> My mental health back. >> What's coming for you? >> And my man will too. >> Yeah. She'll be dead after a while. And my daddy. >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> Oh yeah. Summer, baby. Especially when I didn't do nothing wrong. >> Got to pat her down. >> Oh, sugar. Oh, you can pat me down all you want to. >> I have to pat you down. Pat me down. Policy and procedure. >> Pat me down. The issue wasn't just attitude. It was an oversized ego paired with zero emotional restraint. She's used to believing she's always right. When reality doesn't bend her way, her response turns childish. Calling her mother, drifting into spiritual rambling, as if that could somehow pull the situation back in her favor. >> That's why y'all [ __ ] with me. >> Do not try to hit. >> That's why y'all nothing. But that's why y'all [ __ ] with me. >> Good. Cuz you denied yourself another charge. >> Yeah. For what? resisting. >> Yeah, you're not so smart, are you? >> I'm with me. Oh, yeah. I'm very smart. Okay, >> but baby, we gonna get down to the bottom. >> That's fine. [clears throat] >> That's fine. >> I'm with you. I'll go to court all day. Let's go. >> Let's go. >> Let's go. Come on. >> Let's go. Cuz baby, we got it. >> It's on. >> Yeah. Let's go. Get down to the bottom of it. >> Okay. >> Cuz baby, I know my fine. >> Y'all better know y'all. >> You better know your body. You got to me again. >> Cuz what I'm getting arrested for. >> Again. >> Does she have anything on her? >> Cuz what I'm getting arrested for. >> You already been told. >> Cuz what I'm getting arrested for. >> Aggravated assault. >> Yeah. >> With a deadly weapon. Your vehicle. >> Yeah. >> Cuz it's all >> cuz he walked in front of my dad. >> Yeah. Totally. You Yeah. Okay. Listen. Just stop talking. >> I ain't worried about it. God got it >> and he got it. He going to handle it. Okay. >> He got it, baby. It's in his hands. That's good. >> If anything, >> I am resisting. So, >> yes, >> she's >> she's either getting that or I and she needs to be placed under a baker act, too. But, I guess that's going to have to be done at jail cuz she is >> she's really >> what happened >> having >> issues. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. >> So, you were just going to give her a warning? >> Yes. That's all it was. And and then she just continued to escalate and And and then he came over and then she tried to pull out and almost hit him. >> Did she hit you? >> Oh, she hit you. I guess I >> You mean like I had >> it almost hit you with the car. So you had I mean you touched the car. >> Once she realized arguing wasn't getting her anywhere, she shifted into religious talk. No longer debating officers, she started calling on God, using faith-based language as pressure. It sounds righteous, but the irony is hard to miss. The person demanding truth had just been caught on camera being untruthful. You see, the weapons that was formed, oh, Father God, you [screaming] hallelujah, Father God, and you said, she hallelujah, the vengeance is yours, oh Lord. Father God, and you will repay, oh Lord, Father God, you say, oh Lord, in your word, oh Lord, the shackles got to come off. They got to come off, Lord. They got to come off, oh Lord.

[music] Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer. In this case, religion wasn't faith. It was the final mask used to dodge moral responsibility. What do you think? Does she actually need a [music] psychiatrist or just a hard lesson from the justice system? From playing the victim at the scene, the story turns into a drunken punch that sends [music] a career crashing down. On January 3rd, 2023, police approached a vehicle stuck on the highway median. At first, it [music] looked like a routine traffic incident, but within minutes of interaction, the situation began to shift in a way no one expected. >> Stop. Okay. You're going to >> Listen, >> I understand, but you're ruining your car by doing that. Okay. >> Listen. >> No, you're not good. >> Let me go. I'm gone. >> No, you're not going to go. >> So, you're going to leave your car? >> My car. My phone. my phone in there. >> Okay. >> My phone go. >> Hey, that ain't my car. That ain't my car. >> That's not my car. >> We'll tase you again. >> That's not my car. [sighs] I told you that wasn't my car. >> That's not my car. >> I ain't that y'all. >> Oh, I got this. >> That is my car. Yo, that's not my car. >> That's not my car. >> That ain't my car. But you were driving. >> That ain't my car. I was my driver. >> I remember with DCF, >> the owner of the car, >> she said it was her car. >> That ain't my car. >> Well, punching [snorts] me in the face doesn't really get you. >> I didn't punch you in the face. I didn't punch you in the face. >> That's fine. Okay, you can just sit right there. >> I know this lady from >> She's got her ID in her bra here. I know. >> Erica Humphrey. >> I don't. >> The moment the mask slipped, violence followed immediately. The strike wasn't just an assault. It was a desperate eruption from an ego losing control. Even after being taken to the ground, she didn't back down, didn't show remorse, and refused to accept reality. >> Damn. Now I can't get my daughter back cuz I want them to do. [clears throat] >> I ain't never been there a day in my life. >> It'll work. >> Do that. >> Stay there. Don't move. Cuz we're going to remove these probes. We don't want you hurting yourself. >> No. Get off me. Don't move. >> Don't move. >> Get the off me. >> We will once we remove them. >> Y'all can't right here. >> I'm lost off of the CDC. You take me to jail for nothing. I I I that one of my cars >> y I didn't do anything. >> I can't get my daughter back. >> Small white SUV accident. >> It is my SUV. Wait a minute. Wait. Don't touch me. I'm trying to get in there. >> Okay. >> You mean Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Don't touch me. I'm trying to sit proper. >> Okay. >> Y. Put your feet in. Y'all do a good job. So, as I was dealing with her, she jumped in the car and just, you know, >> things spiraled completely when the passenger took the vehicle and caused a serious crash. While the suspect was being transported to the station, her behavior escalated further. Alcohol had stripped away the last layer of restraint, exposing an aggressive personality and a total disregard for others safety. >> Have since you want to bring me here, you got no record. You want to give me one? >> Nope. In here, Erica. Red ass. Let me go. >> Sit down. >> Let me go. >> Erica, sit down. >> Let me go. You hold on my arm too hard. >> Lean forward. >> Beat your ass when I get out of the club. >> I'm going sit here though. >> Don't. >> I ain't kick. >> Stop. You didn't kick me. Good thing the transported >> and I didn't tripped over my foot >> off. Why the sit in front of me? You can't do the paperwork. Why you sitting here? >> You can't do the paperwork. Why you sitting here? >> All right. So, grab my daughter back to the bush and y'all would arrest me for it. Why you arrest somebody else? He never get my daughter back. I had a 2-year-old daughter. Love me dearly. She don't got no family here like I don't. My mother was killed when I was 8 years old. My daughter got nobody but me. And y'all arrest me. Don't deal with DCFS. And I can't right now. >> I can never get my daughter back. Y'all just arrested me. >> All right. So, first thing you do is you got to go this. Um, >> I don't want to hear. Don't tell me. >> Don't tell me. >> Other than Okay. >> Get me out of here. >> So, that's fine. Even if she's >> Get me out of here. Don't tell me. >> So, I'm going to let you do that while I'm trying to log in. >> Yep. So, she's not under 21. So, I'm worried that she's not a bunch, but over here. You know, >> she questioned why she was being arrested instead of someone else, even though she was the driver responsible for the crash. This is classic distorted thinking, believing that status or personal circumstances put someone above legal process. Reality hit hardest when she realized her professional driver's license could be permanently revoked. >> A previous conviction or court assigned supervision for DUI or a similar provision or a conviction Why y'all social medal use or consumption of cannabis as listed in the cannabis control act? >> I didn't even smoke weed. I didn't even smoke weed. >> All right. Can we go Can we go to the I'm going to call >> 12 months or if you >> when I get out of here, I have nothing to lose. I don't have nothing to lose. consumption of >> when I get out of here >> and avoid me going to court and avoid me and intoxicating [clears throat] >> and I'm a good girl and I'll do it kind of my entire life. If you have had >> I have no words living for anymore for your CDL privileges. Your CDL privileges will be disqualified for life. >> I have nothing worth living for anymore. Thank you guys. co-ass department. I host my all up in nothing for anymore. >> I have nothing else to get nothing else to live for. I have nothing else. >> I mean everything my daughter and I will give her back at 45. >> Yeah. from for multiple offenses. Okay. So, you were at the war. Just because it wasn't your car doesn't mean you can't be arrested for DUI. You were driving that vehicle. >> I wasn't. >> No. >> Well, I wasn't. I just >> Okay. So, I So, I wasn't standing right next to the car when you got out of the vehicle and took off running from me. >> Uhuh. I did. >> Good thing we have uh cameras to prove that. >> Her career became the final pillar holding up her illusion of status. When that pillar collapsed, her desperation spilled out in full view. This wasn't just the effect of alcohol. It was the moment she abandoned dignity to fight a system that was simply doing its job. [snorts] >> For real, you ain't going to take jail for none of this evil. I ain't even got a background. [ __ ] I'm going to school. Be a correction officer. You want to arrest me for a you beat your ass on my life. On my life. I'm going to beat your [ __ ] Let me go out and let them beat her ass. I'm just my baby back.

Please take me. >> I have So, you're going to have to watch her. Make sure she doesn't. >> I got to go. I got to pee. I got to pee. I got to pee. I got to pee. >> In the end, the woman faced multiple charges. DUI, three counts of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and destruction of public property. She was booked into county jail and officially terminated from her position in probation [music] services. She also faced up to $5,000 in fines and 18 months [music] of probation. What do you think? Was this sentence enough or still too light for someone who was trusted to supervise others under the law? On November 28th, 2024, police responded to the Waffle House parking lot to check a pickup truck using a license plate that had been reported stolen. At first, it was just a routine verification. But what followed quickly went far beyond expectations. >> Driver, go ahead. Put it in park. Turn the vehicle off. Take the keys out. Put them on the roof. Okay, step out for me. No, just the driver. Face the vehicle. Walk back to me. Just walk back to me. >> We'll discuss that in just a little bit. Put your hands behind your back. >> Any guns on you? Any weapons? Anything that's going to stick or poke me, hurt me? Okay. ask what's going on just a second. >> Just calm down just a second. 110 say move. >> My bad. >> Driver's detained. Go ahead and clear the channel. >> All right. Still got a passenger. >> What's going on, though? >> That's my brother. >> Okay. So, the reason you guys getting pulled over is you're in a stolen vehicle. >> What? The tag is reported from a stolen vehicle. >> Wow. >> I don't know. He just bought that truck from a friend of his. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Hello. >> Um, do you have your ID? Is it in the car? Can you grab your ID for me real quick? >> I could be a uh I mean Thank you. And if you'll just go stand next to your brother. >> Yeah. >> Thanks. >> Still not able to get anything off that pin. >> It came back 34 register 2. I forget the name, but it should be in the notes. >> From the start, she was tense and irritated. Instead of concerned, she was annoyed, angry that police were interrupting her holiday visit with her father. That attitude shifted fast. Once a K9 unit began circling the truck, the mood changed completely. But but Are you sure? >> Any drugs on the car? No, sir. Any drugs on? >> Not that you're aware of. Any on you? Any on her? Uh, no say no. >> Okay. fireworks. Couple of cut straws with residue on them. They were rolling for so long. If he doesn't have it, it could be in her. Well, I was just going to say I want to finish like she's still here. >> If Tia could >> Yeah. >> Plus, it was old. I'm guessing she might have it >> when it when the dog alerted on her pass by. >> That's not the way. Well, that's not the way we work with like on who it is that he alerted on the car. >> So, the car is hot. But that's my guess. >> Okay. So, let me know what you want me to do. Would you mind searching her? >> Like real good. Like get up in there. >> Okay. I >> mean, whoever you feel comfortable dealing with legally, but >> that's that's what I'm guessing. >> At this point, her anxiety became obvious as the possibility of a personal search came up. Officers began suspecting she was hiding evidence. The tension peaked when a female officer initiated a lawful search procedure, instantly pushing the situation into full-blown confrontation. Okay. What's your name? >> Chasing. >> Okay. Did you crotch anything? >> No. >> If you go to jail and they find it in your body in the body scanner. >> I know this. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I know this. >> Don't give me an attitude cuz I'm trying to give you an attitude. >> I'm being straight up with you and I'm just asking. >> I was My brother asked me if I wanted to go ride to see our dad for Thanksgiving. >> Okay. That's the first time I've ever even been in that truck for one. I was sitting at home and my brother asked >> your voice at me cuz I'm not being that's all we were going to do. >> Okay. You're in a stolen car and a dog >> stolen car. >> Okay, can you help me finish and cut the attitude cuz I'm not giving you attitude. I'm treating you with respect and I'm telling you what's going to happen and I'm giving you an opportunity to be honest and I don't know, maybe you are being honest, but this is what's going on. That stolen car >> and that dog hit on drugs, right? >> Okay. The dress you're wearing and how long it took for you for him to finally get back up to stop you guys. It is possible that you either put it in your bra, in your vagina, or in your butt. >> But what do you have anything on you? No. >> I don't want to hurt you or anything. It's your bracelet. Okay. >> Put your hand on your back. >> So, what do you think it is? It's not a tampon. >> Okay. It's the same thing I'm going to warn you with again. >> Yes, I know. >> We have a literal body scanner. >> Yes, I know. Yes, I know. Mhm. I know. I know. >> Grab it. >> Listen to me. >> I mean, that's I didn't know y'all were allowed to do that. >> Stop moving. I didn't know y'all were allowed to do that. I'm not moving, sir. But who said you're allowed to [ __ ] do that? >> You're not allowed to grab my [ __ ] vagina. >> Spread your legs. And I told you exactly before she came over. >> Take me to the jail and run the scan. Then >> I know what I got. >> Your legs. >> You're not allowed to do that. >> You're not allowed to do that. You're not allowed to do that. >> She under arrest you going to do? >> We have enough. >> I mean, that's fine. >> That's when she tried a lastditch move. intimidation. The fastest way was to accuse officers of serious moral misconduct. It was an attempt to scare them into stopping. A final grab for control after every explanation had failed. >> Brother, what? >> Just wait till >> there is no paraphernalia in my bag. >> There is. >> What? >> Two cushions of residue. >> Who? >> And there's also a bag of weed right next to >> you. I I do suboxin. I go to the so I get suboxin. Do you want the dog alerted on the car? >> And so they had enough time rolling where I told Tia I was like I think with what she's wearing is possible. She stuffed it. So do you want us to try and get it out here? Cuz she's >> thinking that it's dope. She says Tampa. >> Okay. I didn't Justin said that he has enough >> Justin said he found uh I think he said paraphernalia in her back toxin right now >> then she can talk that over to her judge. Okay. >> What's that? >> She can talk that over her judge. She doesn't have the uh >> Okay. You want us? You want us to do it here? Do you want us to wait? She wants to hold it in there. >> Yeah. Or having us in private. >> Yeah. You mind to do that? >> Yeah. >> Here. Oh. Oh, it know what it is. >> That's going to be up to her. >> Here. >> Let her do it. I'm holding you. I'm not touching you. Pull your hands away from your butt. >> Oh, here it is. Right here. There you go. >> Thank you. >> So, why did you lie to me? I could not have been any nicer to you and I said that's what you did. >> Because I didn't. It was that damn pipe. Body scanner. She has >> I don't have anything else. I mean, you want to put it in there. >> Let me just clear my >> Is that the tampon? >> This is the tampon. >> How about that? Amazing. >> Okay. >> Amazing. They need to go for every charge we can find. You want me to get a bag? >> So, there could be more. >> I got a baggie. The last time I got a one of those out of someone's vagina, she had fentanyl or meth. So, we're definitely going to be on standard. >> Yeah. >> So, you're under arrest now. >> We could have worked with you if you're honest. And that's why I try and tell people. >> So, why didn't you just do it? >> I literally came up to you for calm and cool. >> Just tell the truth. >> What's your name? >> Why didn't I just say the [ __ ] that goddamn What's your name? What's your name? >> You know my name. >> I don't know your name. I'm telling you, I'm not bullshitting with you. >> While she was handcuffed to the vehicle, her brother, thanks to his honesty and cooperation, was handled on scene with citations only. Two choices, two outcomes. On one side, truth led to leniency. On the other, lies and confrontation led straight to a jail cell. >> I mean, we can I don't I just felt the I'll come here. Get in the car. Mhm. There's a camera in the car. Why did I just stay the Why did I just stay the [ __ ] Mr. Ricky? Let's go ahead and hop out. We get the handcuffs off of you. I appreciate you being cooperative with us. No problem. Waste a little bit there. I get Oh, you said not. All right. Roll that one out to the inside. There you go. There you go. You know this weird Chicago guys, man. You never camp. Go up here and we'll talk about everything. All right. So, I took the tag. I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to stretch. I'll get on this side of there. I'm not going to stretch out just to make a freaking arrest, push a charge on somebody if I can't prove it. All right, go ahead and grab your stuff. Tow truck gets here. I'm going to back up behind the K9 officer. Give you a little bit of room. I'm about to back up over here. In the end, the woman was taken to jail and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, obstruction of an officer, and tampering with evidence. If convicted, she could face up to a $2,500 fine, as well as up to 60 days in jail and community service. On December 18th, 2024, in Florida, a panicked mother dialed 911 after stopping [music] her car right in the middle of the road, blocking traffic. She swore someone was following her and begged police to escort her [music] to safety. But when officers showed up, what happened next was nothing like anyone expected. >> What's your badge number? >> 89. Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just asking I'm just asking you to tell you that I'm >> want to see your >> and I want to know is on. So I don't we're here to you out of the >> not being we need to get in. We had to leave in a hurry. Okay. >> I'm I'm not on drugs. I'm not >> I'm not saying any of that. >> I'm just telling you I've been up for days because >> Okay. All this now concerns me because I have kids. So I am asking you for your identification. >> Okay. And I will give it to you. I would like to ask you if you can escort me to to a battered women's shelter. >> I'll get you all the information. Now I'm asking you again. Now we're we're changing this. Can I see your identification, please? >> No, you cannot right now. >> Okay. >> It's irrelevant. I mean I I didn't give you consent to open my door. Right now you're being detained because I'm I'm the right to >> I have no probable cause. >> 89 to 43. >> You have no probable cause. >> I am going to pattern women's shelter >> and I need to see your identification. I'm trying to get you all the information for you, but I don't know who I'm talking to. >> Why does it matter? >> Because it does matter. Because I don't know if you're >> to help, right? If I'm what I if I have a warrant. >> I don't know. >> I don't. >> Okay. You're saying that, but now >> you can run the place if you want to. Everything's legal. >> And you don't have a license. So, I'm not escorting you anywhere. Now, now you don't have a license. >> I never said that. >> Let me see your driver's license. If I'm escorting you anyway, you have you have kids in the car and you're driving. Where's your driver's license? >> I'm parked and I was not driving and I have kids. >> She called the cops for help yet fought them at every turn. When asked for her ID, she flat out refused. Instead, she demanded their badge numbers and questioned their motives. To make matters worse, there were kids sitting inside that car. Officers grew concerned, and the tension kept climbing as she dug her heels in and refused to cooperate. >> I don't know why you're looking at me like I I did something wrong. >> I'm not saying you did. Why are you so guilty? >> I'm not saying you did anything wrong. >> I'm I'm in a severe situation. >> Okay. So, so when when we're here to help you, why don't you oblige and so let us help you? I don't understand why you're >> asking for my ID and cutting me off when I'm in the middle of telling you my story. Why? >> Because I want to know who I'm talking to because you >> and I want to know who I'm talking to. >> And I I've already given you my name and my badge number. >> Okay. So, can I finish my story before I give you my license? >> We're not playing this game >> from here. I just >> Okay, but this isn't NASA. This is a city. local beach island. >> NASA police department has their own police. >> Okay. >> I have rights. >> I'm not saying you don't. >> I didn't do anything wrong. I just asked for assistance. >> But you're concerning me now when you have kids in the car and that's concerning me. >> What is wrong with it? >> Because you don't know where you are. You're asking us if we work for NASA. You're all over the place. >> No, I'm not. I'm >> I wanted to get you out of the middle of the road because there's >> I'm not in the middle of the road. >> You are in the middle of the road. Miss the stop mark. >> I pulled up slightly because the car that was behind me has been following me. And so >> those were a couple of kids. They're going back to work. >> How do you know them? >> Because I talked to them. >> Okay, ma'am. Now >> because they're Okay, >> your ID, please. >> You know them, right? I Okay, we come at it. You came at me with an attitude when I'm trying to explain my situation. >> No, I asked you for your identification so we could move off to the side of the road so we're out of the middle of the road. >> I'm legal. >> You're not go You're not going anywhere. >> I was parked on a side street right now. You're in the road. >> I'm not in the road. >> What do you call this? This is a road. This is a road. This is a street. >> This is a side street. I'm not in the middle of the road. We can come back. We can go back and forth. You know what? I'm calling my lawyer. >> The woman insisted she'd broken no law. But parking smack in the middle of the street, that's a clear traffic violation. It gave police every legal reason to ask for her ID. Still, she lived in a reality of her own making, painting herself as the victim, the cops as the enemy, and she refused to comply with even the simplest requests. >> Put your seatelt on. Put your seatelt on because now we're leaving. >> You're not going anywhere, ma'am. >> You don't have the right You don't have the right. >> You're not going anywhere. Do that. You're not going anywhere. >> Your body cam's on, right? >> Yes, it is, ma'am. >> Yep. And I'm And I'm going to uh record you, too, because I know my citizens right. And I know that you're being very suspicious and combative with me, and you won't even listen to my >> I'm trying to listen to you. How if I say I need to go to a domestic violence shelter, wouldn't you want to be concerned for it? >> Yes, but now you're off. >> You need to know who I am and cut me off and then say, "Has she had anything to do?" >> You just want to know who we're talking to is all. You're not. So up until this point, you're not in any trouble or anything. >> But he his approach and the way he came at me >> is that I broke the law. They were looking at the puppy. >> How old are you, little one? >> You don't have to answer him. How old are you? >> Three. Three. >> I'm a responsible mother. >> She's 10. >> I had to leave the house. >> 610 and three. >> I had to leave the house. >> Okay. I'm not saying you didn't. You called us to help you. We came here. >> You put 20 20 cars. What? You >> came here to help you. >> You need this many people to escort someone. >> Right now, it's not an escort. >> You're acting. >> We want to find out what's going on. >> All of this is because you're acting erratically. We're trying to figure out what's going on and we can't help you because you're not cooperating with us. >> I I'm not I wasn't even erratic. I said people are following me. I'm not being delusional. I'm not on drugs. I'm not >> Okay. I haven't had sleep cuz I >> And and you were talking about the blue car that was behind you, right? Or blue green car. >> They've been following me in circles. They live in in SH. But you interrogating me, right? >> We're trying to figure out what's going on. So you thought that I was them? >> No. >> So what? So you must know them then. >> Sure. >> Sorry. >> Okay. >> I don't This is irrelevant. I'm calling my lawyer because I haven't broken the law. I asked for your assistance and now you're you're trying to pin things something on me that I haven't done. >> She kept throwing around constitutional rights as her shield. But in practice, those rights don't excuse you from a lawful investigation. especially not when children are in the mix and the violation is plain as day. Her arguments fell flat, exposing a fragile defense built on denial. >> I'm free to go because >> No, you're not free to go. >> Yes, I am. >> No, you're not. >> Yes, I am. Cuz I haven't broken any laws. >> You're not free to go. >> Yes, I am now. Yes. >> I want to drive. >> Baby, I'm >> you want to drive right now, but listen. Can you get please get in the seat belt and then we go get lollipops. Okay. Please cuz mommy mommy can get in trouble when you don't have your seat belt on. Okay. >> So I'm going >> No, you're not going anywhere. >> You don't have the right You're not driving. >> I You have no problem with us. I'm not seat. >> We didn't see any kids in the car seats when we pulled. >> No, no, no. You are not. >> I didn't do anything on the roadway. >> You were literally in the middle of an intersection. >> Stop. >> You got I'm going to tell my lawyer you don't have to drive. I'm not even doing anything. Okay. You have no problem. You have no problem. >> I ask you to get out of the vehicle. You can get out of the vehicle and you start. You guys I asked >> you're you're breaking the law. >> No, I'm not. >> Yes, you are. >> I have rights as a citizen. >> And you don't have the right to resist. >> You're doing it right. I didn't even resist. >> And then we had problems based on the kids not being in this car seat. >> I was not driving. The car was operating in the >> Then came the physical struggle, screaming, resisting, even trying to run. She refused to face the truth. Her actions had real legal consequences. At that point, officers had no choice but to use force. They pulled her out of the car and placed her in handcuffs to get the situation under control. I guess you guys know who he is, huh? >> Have a seat. Have a seat. Have a seat. >> You guys, you got you're sit down. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Sit down. >> Have a seat. Have a seat. Please. >> Listen. Don't make it harder for yourself. Just have a seat. >> I'm not You're going to make You guys are going to >> Stop over me when I'm talking. I I didn't break the little citizen of the United States. >> Have a seat while we figure out what's going on. You're going to get brain. Just have a seat. I haven't even That's the right car. >> I didn't even do anything to you. >> What's going on? >> Huh? >> What's going on? >> What's going on? >> Yeah. You're going to jail. >> That's if you say so. I'm not going to argue. That's what court's for. >> Excuse me. >> That's what court is for. >> I'm not going to >> There's no statement. There's no >> Hey, you're not going to reach >> probable father. >> You can't take me to jail. >> County jail. Ma'am, >> Boulevard County Jail seat belts, which is a violation. You are not parked and you are impeding the flow of traffic. >> There was a car behind you that was trying to get around you. You're you're in the middle of the road impeding the flow of traffic. >> The road would be in the middle of this main road. I was on the side road side of the road to a woman because my phone doesn't work. >> This all could have been avoided. >> Yeah, you would have communicated a little bit better. I I tried my best. You did not want to listen to a word I had to say. >> Is this a person? >> Our county jail, >> Tony. >> So, how did you legally arrest me on that alone? >> Because it's a misdemeanor resisting. >> I didn't bring that. >> You did, ma'am. You didn't give me your ID. You failed to identify. >> I didn't I don't have to. I didn't do it. >> You were in the m Okay. We're We're going over and over this like like it's a mergo round like we're at the circus. >> No, actually it's not that simple. >> You were in a car. >> I was in a car >> on the roadway a side street in the city of Cocoa Beach. >> Yes. >> With children in the car. A car that engine was run. No, the car was running. >> It's called standing >> and it was not moving. >> Standing in the middle of the road. You're impeding the flow of traffic. Now that's my probable cause to identify you to write you a citation. In the end, she was taken to jail, charged with two counts of resisting an officer without violence, obstructing traffic, failing to obey road rules, and violating child safety seat laws. She posted a $1,000 bond and was later released. At court, she plead guilty to several charges and walked away with $45 in fines. On April 16th, 2024, police got a call about a car that was straight up dangerous. It was rolling down the road with a front tire completely gone. Officers moved in fast, desperate to stop a disaster before it happened. But the moment they came face to face with the driver, the truth that came out was something no one saw coming. >> I'm fine. I, you know, I got my accident. Look, >> when did you get into an accident? >> Uh, it was in um Do you want to look back? >> No, no, no. It's fine. I can see the I can see that. That's fine. That's what a seat belt coming across you. >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> All righty. Did you see your car? Did you see what's wrong with it? >> Um, there's nothing wrong with that car. >> No. You want to take a look at it? You see you see these marks on the side on the pavement? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a nice car, huh? I think you need a tire on all four though. >> You need four tires. >> Well, but they're all four tires. I mean, you know, >> you see your tires missing on this one. Well, you know why? >> Oh [ __ ] >> Yeah. >> That's why I stopping you. You're going pretty fast with no wheel on your tire on there. >> Well, I can give you the if you'd like. It must have fallen off because if you'd like to see it, that's fine. >> 77. >> Uh, you may want to be >> when they saw it. I was like, "What's wrong with the tire?" And they said, "Well, what's wrong with the tire?" >> Right. >> And I said, "Uh, well, I don't know what's wrong with the tire, but you know." >> Well, they should be able to tell you what's wrong with the tire. You think? Huh? >> You see that? >> University of Michigan. >> University of Michigan. That's good. You graduated from University of Michigan, huh? >> I did. >> Congratulations. That's good. >> It's just that one right there. H driver's license there. Perfect. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> All right. You want me to run your driver's license real quick and I'll be right back with you. >> Yeah. No, you're good. >> Okay. Thank you. >> I am not doing anything wrong, >> right? So, just don't >> you know, look at that. >> Yeah, it looks like it hurts. You on medication for that right now? >> I do. I just take um ibuprofen and stuff like that. >> Normal stuff. Ain't no like heavy pain pills or anything. >> No. >> Oh, okay. Pretty good, babe. Looks like it hurts. >> Well, it don't feel good. >> The woman behind the wheel seemed clueless about the danger. She brushed off the tire damage, insisting those marks on the road came from some other accident. Her denial mixed with her dodging questions about drinking raised serious doubts. Was she under the influence? >> You don't want to have a seat for just a minute? >> You know, I'm fine. I I've got an accident. >> When did you get into an accident? >> It was like my birthday. >> Oh. What's your name? >> Excuse me. >> What's your name? >> Sher. >> Sharon. >> Sher. >> Oh, Sher. Okay. Sher. >> Yeah. Not like Sher. >> Not like Sher the singer. No, >> I'm fine. >> Okay. I see your car's kind of not fine. >> I didn't know it. You >> didn't know that it was missing a a tire? >> Hey, >> okay. Miss Sher, have you had anything to drink today? >> Nope. >> No. Okay. Are you under the influence of any kind of narcotic, whether it be prescription or not prescription? >> No. >> No. What if I told you I didn't believe that? >> Well, I guess you could say what you ever wanted to, but no, I'm just going to my boyfriend's name. [screaming] >> Would you be willing to consent to any field sobriety exercises so I can ensure that you're not impaired? >> No, I'm not. I'm not impaired for any reason. >> Okay. So, you you don't want to do any field sobriety exercises to show that you're not impaired? You know, you guys are cool, guys, and I appreciate that. And I think you're under paid and everything else. And all I'm doing is going to my boyfriend. He's right down the street. >> Okay. Well, so you said you didn't have anything to drink, right, Mich? >> Nope. >> Okay. So, I can smell that you have had something to drink. >> Well, you can smell whatever you want. I I guess, but I just I smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage, and as you talk to me, it intensifies, which means it's coming from >> She refused field sobriety tests again and again. That kind of push back isn't random. It's classic behavior when someone knows they've been drinking and doesn't want to get caught. The officer's testimony about the strong smell of alcohol on her breath was the key piece of evidence that kept the investigation moving forward. >> Yes or no? Just >> if you if you want to say no, you could say no. >> You know what? Be kind because >> be kind. >> Be kind. I am kind. I'm not I haven't been rude to you. >> I'm not doing anything wrong. Well, first of all, you know, one, two, three, four. Why would you have >> So, him and I are together. We're one. If I if I if I >> I am here. >> So I I'll explain. >> Why would you do this, >> Miss Sher? Hang on, Miss Sher. I'm going to explain. All right, explain. >> Okay. He's the one that made the traffic stop on you, right? Him and I are one unit in my car. The reason why they're here is that we want to make sure you didn't hit anything that's in Klay County. >> Would you please be kind and just let me go? So, so I am being kind, but letting you go may not be the right solution. I'm not saying it isn't the solution, but we need to determine that first. And the first step is to see if you are willing to perform. Start with the first exercise, and that's just to check your eyes. Would you be willing to do that? >> Sure. >> Okay. >> Now, I just want you to stand. >> I don't have like good exercises. I mean with my eyes because I um this is a problem. >> Okay. So, do you see my pin here, Miss Sher? >> Mhm. >> I want you to follow it with your eyes and just your eyes. Okay. >> Mhm. >> All righty. Why don't you try to stand up straight? You're falling forward. Stand up. There you go. >> Follow the pin. >> Eventually, she agreed to a simple eye test, using an old leg injury as her excuse to avoid the rest. But even in that test, her instability was obvious. It cut right through every excuse and made it crystal clear [music] what condition she was really in. Okay. All right. You can relax. You can relax. You can relax. Okay. You all right? Okay. This is what I want you to do. I just want you to stay with my partner here and I want you to just lean up against that car. Okay. So, I am not going to require you to do the other two field sobriety exercises because with your wheelchair in the back, you obviously have been in a car crash, you said earlier this month, uh, and you're complaining of something with your ankle. I'm not. Both of these exercises require you to use your legs pretty predominantly. So, because of that, I'm not going to make you do those exercises. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Uh, however, in saying that, based off the smell and your eyes, I truly believe that you are under the influence of alcohol beyond the legal limit for the state of you. I >> You know what? Take me down the street to my boyfriend's house. >> No. So, we're not going to do that. We are going to take you to jail for DUI. Okay. But until that female officer gets here to be able to search you before you get in my car, we're going to let you stand out here and just kind of relax until we until she gets here. >> My dad is a capital venturist. >> Okay. Go on. >> Screw the out of you. >> Okay. And he can he can sue whoever he wants. That's why we live in America. But my job is public safety. >> My job is to be cool. So again, I don't feel >> you know what? When you guys call me and you want me to give you money and everything else, I say, "Oh, help." >> The eye test, combined with the heavy smell of booze, told the whole story. And the officer's choice not to push her into more physical tests [music] showed caution for her health while still locking down enough evidence to make an arrest stick. >> He pulled you over. >> I didn't do anything wrong. I haven't done anything wrong. and you know and it's a bunch of so if you want to be an them being >> so you're under arrest you're going to be searched before we put you in the back of a patrol car you're not doing anything >> all right so here's the thing right so law enforcement we'll ask you we'll tell you and then we're going to make you >> no I'll go and I'll go ahead and I'll call my attorney >> you're not calling anybody right now >> that's it >> turn around so she can search you. That's the last I'm going to tell you. >> So now you just took a charge of resistance. >> My arm is messed up. >> Well, you shouldn't have pulled away. >> Well, my arm is messed up. Please don't do that. Please. >> We're trying not to. >> Please don't do that. >> My arm is messed up. >> [screaming] >> It's messed up. My arm is messed up. >> What's wrong with it? >> All right, let's >> My dad is going to come and he's going to arrest you. >> He's going to kill you. >> Um, do the resisting as well. >> Okay. >> Don't carry. >> Don't touch me. Please don't touch me. Please. >> Yeah. Walk over here. Whatever. >> Hey. Hey. Put this back on that hook so that she sits in. We could just buckle her in. >> Stand up, though. >> Nope. I need to start. >> No, you can't. You can't put that on me. >> No. I was in a in a I was in a car accident last week. Let go of me. Let go me, please. >> No. No. >> No. I was I was I was in a car accident last week. >> Why did you lean forward? >> Because I'm hurt. >> All right. What's hurting? >> My You can't You cannot do this. >> All right. Stand up. >> Stand straight up. >> What? >> You're fine. Follow me. >> No, I'm not. >> All right. Listen. Stand up and then we're going to help you sit down. Okay, >> stand up. >> Stand up. >> Oh my god, my neck. >> In the end, the woman was arrested and charged with DUI and resisting an officer without violence. Those charges carry tough consequences. Fines, jail time, losing her license, and mandatory rehab programs. On February 16th, 2025, down in Florida, police got a call after a witness spotted a little kid locked inside a car. At first, it looked like just another dangerous situation that needed fast action. But the truth that unfolded right after, nobody saw that twist coming. >> See if I can't get >> Hi. How are you? Can you open the door for me? Mommy's coming out. She said open the door. Can you open the door for me? She's coming out right now. Thank you, baby. >> Uh-oh. It's okay. Go get mom. >> Hello. Where is the mom? >> I don't know where the mom is. She's okay though, right? >> Yeah. Are you able to call her like a PA to the front? Christine. Christine, if you can come to the front, please. Come on, guys. She's in there. Did Did you ask her if she could come out? >> Yeah, I asked her. Her name was Christine. She said, "Yeah." And I told her to come out and she said, "Okay." But she was just showering, so I don't know. >> Yeah, she's in there. She is. >> Yeah. She said she was showering, but she's coming out. Should we talk to the other side? >> Sure. >> Okay. >> Is my daughter okay? >> Well, let's talk over here. >> Okay. >> She's okay now that the car is open. >> Oh, I literally went in there for like 5 10 minutes. Like, >> okay. Well, other people have said otherwise. Okay. Oh my god. >> Even 5 10 minutes that's fine. What if something happens to you in the gym? >> Oh my god, you scared me. >> I thought something happened to my daughter. That's all I cared about. I almost >> If you cared about it, then you wouldn't leave her in a car off. >> Oh my god. I thought it was like 15 20 minutes she was sleeping and I was going to come right back out. You scared me. >> Do you have your driver's license with you? >> Um it's all in the car. >> The car? >> No, not at all. I can actually show you a paycheck. >> Okay. >> I'm working. This This is like a mistake. That's why I was scared. I'm like, "Let me run out. I can show you my paycheck." >> Okay, let's fine. >> I can literally pull it out and show I She's been in here for 2 hours, right? >> Okay. Can you Is there like Can I see it on the computer? She said she's been in here for 15 minutes. >> 71 hours. >> 2 hours. She said she'd been here 15 minutes. >> From the very beginning, Christina's story didn't add up. First, she said she was in the gym for only 5 to 10 minutes. Then, suddenly, it turned into 15 to 20. And showing up from the locker room, that was proof she'd been hanging around a lot longer than she first admitted. Her story started cracking right away. >> What was your name, ma'am? >> Christina. >> Christina, do you want to go to jail for child abuse, >> or do you want to tell us the truth right now? >> I'm definitely telling you the truth. >> You checked in the gym at 7:27 this morning. >> You know what time it is now? >> If you ask her, I came back out. I went >> It's 9:00. You've been in you've been here for almost two hours. >> I I will tell you I'm telling you the truth. I walked back out. I literally >> Okay. Regardless, she was still in the car >> for like 15 20 minutes. Yes. I That's true. >> Okay. >> But I can literally tell you I walked out. I >> All right. Let's go get your driver's license and uh we'll go from there. >> And I can show you my paycheck and everything. >> You feel better. We'll see you later. >> Thank you guys. I appreciate it. >> All right. No problem. >> And I'm so sorry. I know you guys hate me right now, but I promise it's a mistake. >> Can you give my partner your ID? >> Yeah. And you can call her. They came to help me with my car. I literally And you and I literally had a flat. >> I'm not worried about your vehicle right now. Put your bag on the hood. >> My book bag. >> Yes. Let's step over here to the front. >> So, do you want to tell me what's going on then? >> It's the It's the honest I wish you would believe. I promise you. I can show you the text message and I can you can even go to the tire shop. >> Can I tell you what happened and then you can kind of see if I'm guilty or not? >> I'll hear you out. Let's start with this. What time did you wake up this morning? >> I woke up this morning probably like around 6 something going on 700 because and I'll tell you I'm trying to tell you I have proof. >> Okay, we woke up at 7:00 and then what happened? >> I called to see if there's a nearest gym. I normally go to a gym. I do a good workout and then I stop driving back. The reason why we're here was I have proof I'm trying to tell you kindly. My car we got a flag. I'm glad we weren't on 95. The tire popped. I want you to think I'm a liar. I my daughter is the most important thing to me in my life and I've never done anything wrong. >> Says otherwise and I don't want you to feel like I'm the right she's a happy child. She like my daughter she doesn't even know what's going on. She's never been around a cop before and that's how I found right here. >> Over and over she kept saying my daughter is my whole world. Trying to paint herself as a loving mom who just slipped up. She wanted the cops to buy that this was just a harmless mistake. Then she kept tossing in that tire excuse like repeating it would somehow make her lies sound more believable. >> I have the um flat tire that blew out. So this this tire that was switched out >> again. >> Oh, I just >> That has nothing to do with anything right now. >> I'm just telling this has never happened. I'm trying to say that was the reason why we're here. Our tire >> the reason you're here is because you were taking a shower and working out. >> Because of the tire. Do me a favor. We can hang out over here so my partner can talk to her. >> Yeah. Yeah. But we can make sure she's okay. >> She's okay. >> Did you Did you think about if she was okay when you left her in the car by herself when you went to work out? >> For the first time, I didn't think >> so. You can hang out. You can hang out over here. She's fine with us. >> All right, Miss Christine. Let me talk to you without your daughter. Okay, let's go over here. So, I'll ask you again. >> Where were you last night? >> I was Oh my god. Can I show you my phone? Is would it be easier if I show you my phone in the >> Okay. So, you got you got off work at what time last night? >> I got off of work probably around 8 or 9. >> Okay. So, then what were you doing driving at 11:00 at night? >> No, I was driving around 9 something from Fort Lauder Delta down there. The tire blew out around 10:00. A man named Moses at 5. What happened in between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. >> The time around I don't know what else you're I don't know. I'm not looking at the time. I'm telling you after work I drove around 9 to 9 something 910. >> What county and city are we in currently >> in Lake Worth? Right. Palm Beach. >> Where do you live? >> I live in Fort Lauderdale. My friend lives in Boon. >> Okay. >> So I drove to Palm Beach and the car stopped in in Palm Beach in Boon. >> Okay. That's that makes a little bit more sense. He's asking you, "Why are you over in this area?" And that's what my friend lives in Palm Beach. >> After your tire was fixed, then what happened? >> Then after that, we stayed at her house for a little bit. We came here. I drove. I said, "Let's go to Crunch Fitness." So, this is my first time here. She said, "Oh, we just opened December 31st." >> Can we go back for a second? Where did you Where did you spend the night last night? >> Last night after I went to her house, I stayed with them for a little bit and then after that around 5:00, we drove here. So, I wouldn't even say we slept because we were up with the tires the whole time. >> But the more questions they asked, the more she tripped over her own words. Simple details, where she was, how long she stayed. She couldn't get them straight. That shaky story showed a woman way out of her depth exposing the second real pressure hit. >> I came here, I came back out, I stayed with my daughter, and I went back. >> So, I'll say about 20, 25, 15. And then I >> check in the gym. You were in there for about 15 minutes, right? I was in the gym and I came back out. I stayed I stayed out for probably like 30 40 minutes >> and then what? >> And then I went back. I went to the gym 15 25 15 minutes, showered 10 minutes, came back out and they're like, "Are you Christine?" I'm like, "Yes." And then that's like the coffee. >> So 15 minutes and then you came out for 30 minutes and then you went in there for another 20 minutes. So 30 + 20 is 50 minutes plus 15. >> I honest I honestly wasn't >> That's an hour and five about an hour and 5 minutes, right? No, I was I was in the gym for about 25 30 minutes and then I came out saying in total >> in total about an hour and 5 minutes. You were checked in the gym for almost 2 hours. So what happened to the other hour that we're missing right now? >> When I came back out I came back outside because my daughter was sleeping. So I had to make sure she was okay. So I came back outside. I stayed. She was still sleeping. And then I spent time with her and I'm like, "Okay, let me work out for a little bit. Maybe you'll be up after." And then I think and then that's when you guys >> Right. But I think like your 15 20 minutes is probably a little bit longer based on the fact that you were here for >> I'd say 15. I was working out 20 minutes over you to jail today. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. >> Okay. >> Very very much. >> It's not a there for a thank you or anything like that. >> I know. I know. I'm so sorry. >> What I am going to do is I'm going to make a report. This isn't the first time that you've left your daughter unattended in the car while you're in the gym. Okay? Just hear me out. Just just hear me out. Okay? I don't need the stories anymore. I'm going to notify DCF. They're going to pay a visit to you at your house. Check on the welfare of your child. Okay? Do not let this happen again cuz now that it's on record, I guarantee you would be going to jail next time. >> Okay. >> Do you mind calling your father to have him come pick up your child so we do not have to give her DCF? >> Can you tell me why? >> Because you left her unattended in the car with it off. >> But I literally I literally I went in there for like 25 30 minutes. >> Regardless, it could be 5 seconds. Can you guys literally like see the tire that blew out? Can you stop? >> The tire has nothing to do with this. Nothing to do with this. You understand that, right? >> For a moment, it almost looked like she was going to skate. At first, the cops didn't cuff her. But after talking with their higher-ups, reality set back in. Leaving a kid trapped in a car isn't some oops moment. It's a dangerous call she made. Add her lies and her brushoff attitude, and the officers had no choice but to step in. >> You want me to try to call him? Please >> finish the car. >> Please don't do this. Can I Okay, let me I'll call my dad. >> Okay, I'm going to take care of that. I'm going to have you on speaker. Okay, stop. >> Do not do that. >> Just let me call my dad. Let me call my dad. Let me just let >> Okay, we'll call him in a little bit. Okay, right now that's not going to happen. >> Please let me call my dad so my daughter is safe. At least I can call her grandmother or something. Please just take a seat. >> Can I at least call her grandmother? >> Take a seat. I don't want your child to see. I don't think I'm I might faint. Take a seat. Can you please let me talk? >> Take a seat. I don't want your child to see. >> Keep drawing. She's okay. They're just talking. They're just talking. >> He just has to speak to her in the car. >> A seat. >> Take a seat, >> Gabby. Mommy is Mommy. >> She's going to come. >> I just called him twice. He didn't answer. >> Tommy's fine. We're not going anywhere. Okay. We're just hanging out. All right. Dear doctor, >> we can call a fire truck for you. It's not going to change anything, though. >> I think you might have to. I'm not I'm really >> Your daughter's going to be here by herself with him. >> Cuz somebody You're not coming out. >> Please don't hurt her. >> You're not coming out of those. Why would we hurt her? Why would we hurt her? This is the example you're trying to set for your daughter right now. Like, we're the bad people. You're the one that left her unattended for 2 hours in a car. We are not the bad people here. All right? So, don't try to don't try to pin us to be that in front of her. She's going to jail right now for child. Okay. >> She I don't know why, but she's having a hard time understanding of the totality of the circumstances of what she did wrong. Okay. That's neither here nor there. Her story is just very very inconsistent of what's happened from yesterday until the moment we met her. Okay. I don't know what's going on. It's none of my business. My concern is her child. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, I appreciate you coming out here and taking the best custo. Um, let's see if she wants to talk to you. I'm sure she will. >> The whole reason you're handcuffed has nothing to do with your tire being blown out. It has to do with your decision of leaving your kid in the car unattended. Does that make sense to you now? >> I'm so sorry. >> I did take a little bit of look at your record. You've had, you know, quite a few traffic in crashes. It's not a big deal, but some of them are not seat belting your child. Okay. I've seen all up and down the state of Florida. You got to make sure that you're making the smart decisions for your your little girl cuz again, you're her mom, right? You're you're in charge of her. The rescues here and they're going to check you out. Okay. >> She was hauled off to jail facing serious child neglect charges. And in Florida, that's no joke. We're talking jail time, probation, mandatory parenting classes. She could even lose custody of her daughter. Now, it's all up to the judge. But the risk she took that day might cost her everything. These stories aren't about shaming. They're a reminder that motherhood doesn't cancel accountability. When ego, neglect, or control comes before a [screaming] child, consequences always show up on camera. What's your take?
