Ma'am. Ma'am, >> I don't know. >> Huh? >> I have never know that I've been here for 3 days. I don't know. >> I don't know if I'd have any more. >> No shouting, no warning signs, just a child quietly waiting, alone longer than any child ever should. >> Come here, baby. Are you serious? 30 minutes, man. >> Hey, come here. >> Why would you wait 30 minutes to call us? You're >> okay. >> Until officers arrive and come to a sobering realization. Sometimes the real rescue isn't the situation. It's saving a child from the person meant to protect them. On April 23rd, 2025, police responded to a hotel after reports of a 6-year-old left alone crying in an elevator. But the deeper they dig, the more complicated it gets. And here's what really went down. >> Okay, what happened about an hour or so ago? I have a little six-year-old come down from the elevator crying. She wants her mom. I finally figured out what room she's in. So, I tried calling it. No answer. Okay. So, I have a friend of mine talking to her. She's a young female. They're getting along real well. Uh I had somebody knock on the door because they got a do not disturb sign. Nobody's answering. Now, the young girl's telling me there's nobody else up there but her. >> And she's crying cuz her she can't she can't see her mom. I called her mom several times. It rings once and goes to voicemail. >> And I don't know what else to do with the young lady, you know. I hate I hated to call you because I know what that's going to do, but this poor girl, you know. >> Okay. >> I'd take her home if I could. >> Okay. What's uh what what room are they? >> They're in 223. >> Yeah. What happened? >> Would you stay? >> I'm just going to go and check the room. >> Nope. >> Do you know what kind of vehicle she's in? >> No, that one I don't know. >> Those car keys? >> Yeah. >> All right. Look, >> I think might be a rental, >> huh? >> Might be a rental. >> Why the heck would you leave? >> So, how how long have you been here? >> Do you like >> Do you remember like how many days? Like >> a couple days. >> I only know that I've been here for 3 days. I don't know. >> I don't know if I'd have any more days. Okay. >> When mommy left, what did she say? >> What' she tell you? remember what you told me. It's okay. She's my friend. Yep. >> So, I promise you, pinky promise you. >> I pinky Listen, I pinky promise you. Or I'll go get you another candy right now. >> Like, you can >> That's candy. >> She's I know her and that's why I called her to come here because I know her >> and she's going to help us. >> Yep. She said that even if she said if it's even if it's for a while, she'll come back, but I'm not sure. >> Okay. And then what did she do? She gave you a >> Facebook. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Well, that's cool. >> The mother is completely unreachable. Every call goes straight to voicemail. No response, no updates. And when she finally shows back up with a man, the question of responsibility suddenly isn't so unclear anymore. >> Yeah. Hey, hold on. I'll call you back. >> All right. Bye. >> Come in here for a second, man. >> Emily, come in here for a second. >> Come in here. >> All right. You want to face that way? >> Take a purse off. >> Take a purse off. You're under arrest. >> I don't Are you In >> Florida, you don't leave a six-year-old alone in a hotel room. >> I went out. >> Yeah. There. >> You're kidding. >> All right. >> Let me tell them to go do something else. >> Hold on a second. We don't want your daughter to see you like this. >> But like, what happened? So, we'll explain all that to you. I'm going to read you your rights and then we'll do an interview and uh then I'll explain to you what happened. Okay? But we don't want your daughter to see you in handcuffs. So, we're going to move around the way. >> We told her I was going to be right back and I'm coming right back down. >> Okay. Well, I can tell you we have been here for probably about 30 minutes. The hotel said that she's been down here for over an hour before they called us. So, you've been gone a lot longer. >> An hour. >> Have you ever seen an alligator? >> Do you want to see an alligator? Come on. >> Um, we can go. >> We're going to walk this way. >> She came down here crying. Mhm. She wanted to know where you were. You're going to go on this side. Which side? This side. Go all the way up. Nope. I can open the door. Go all the way up to the front first. All the way up to the front. To the front to the front of the car. There you go. All right. Lean up against the car. >> The law is pretty straightforward. Even a few minutes of leaving a young child alone can be a serious issue, but judging by her reaction, she doesn't seem to think it's that big of a deal. Watch how calm she stays when she's told Child Protective Services has been contacted. >> Where's my daughter? >> Uh, she's with many other deputies. Okay, cool. So, we've contacted DCF. >> Cool. That's awesome. Okay. All right. Just want to hang out there. Sit >> on the trunk. >> Yep. I know where it's at. Okay. If you want, you could sit with your different way. You can put your cuffs this way. It'll be more comfortable. I'll be back in a minute to ask you some questions. Okay. All right. I'm going to read you this and then it's up to you if you want to talk or not. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. >> I have never left my daughter. >> This was the first night ever and she was asleep. So I thought I could sneak out for an hour >> because I was with my husband for 15 and 1/2 years. And the first time we dated right after him for 3 and 1/2 years. It's our first time. I'm the most protective mommy. I'm a counselor. This is embarrassing. Like I have never She was asleep. I was like, I'm going to sneak out and have a drink and come back. Like I don't drink. >> Having these rights in mind, do you want to talk to me? >> I just told you I was going to let me go. I can't give you a yes or no, >> but I need a yes or a no from you. >> I think I'm like a bag. I promise you I'm not. >> I don't judge anybody. >> No, you >> I don't make judgments. But before I can former crisis counselor, you should. >> Before I talk to you, I need a a yes or no. It's up to you if you want to talk to me or not. I can't make you. >> We're just going to give you back to my daughter, too. >> I can't tell you that. Here's the irony. A so-called crisis expert who doesn't realize she's creating one right in front of everyone. And as things start to escalate, her biggest concern doesn't seem to be her child. It's saving face. >> Do you want to think about it before you give me an answer? >> It's fine. Whatever. I told you what I need to tell you. >> I'm sorry. I told you what I needed to tell you. >> Okay. So, you don't want to talk to me? Do we need anything else here? >> I tried. >> DCF's coming. >> Like literally, >> what's her name? >> DCF should not come. >> We were gone less than an hour. I've never left my daughter. >> Explain something to you. >> In my life. >> Let me explain something. >> Can I tell you I've never left my daughter in my life to be quiet and listen? I don't care how long you were gone for. You were gone for more than an hour because the motel gave you over an hour as a courtesy to make sure. >> No. >> Tell it to the judge. Lady, you don't leave a six-year-old by herself in a motel. >> Never in my life. >> This first time, so now you can get that off your bucket list. >> Great. >> Great. I She was asleep. Okay. What's your date of birth? I literally What's your I literally have never left my daughter in my life. >> Not yet. >> In my life. Do you want me to grab you one? >> Yeah. >> Then the man with her starts talking and suddenly that whole just a minute story begins to fall apart. In that moment, what once sounded harmless starts raising a lot of eyebrows. >> Said she left at 7:30. So she's gone >> 7:30, 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, 11:30. 12 now. No, that's too much. But then bringing a gentleman back that she doesn't know. >> No, I don't know about that. >> We got him IDed and all that. >> I have no idea. >> I heard that. Um, want to give you a ride home so you don't get a DUI in the golf cart? >> Yeah, but she said I was just said crash here. >> She's not crashing here. >> That's what she told me. She said crash here at my place here. >> She's not crashing here. I'm trying to get >> She's not. >> No, >> I don't know. I met her like 10 minutes ago. >> That's what I That's what I found out. >> But I don't understand how this >> It's kind of like alarming how this happened. >> It is. >> This chick seemed like she was all right. >> Yeah. Where did you meet? Where did you meet her? >> No, I was like I t I was tabbing out at City Fire. I was tabing out at City Fire. >> Yeah. >> And this chick at the end when I'm tabing out, she's like, "Oh." So I'm like, "Oh, she's like, "Look at me." >> So I don't know. So she might be a scumbag or something. >> Yeah. I don't know. >> But I only know her like 5 minutes more than you know her. >> That's true. >> What? >> And I'm like concerned like why is she >> She's cool. I think that her >> she's cool. >> I will never go out to get food again. I promise. I promise. >> I thought you were going out to get a drink. >> I went out to get a drink and got food, which is the whole point. And then to be fair, honestly, they gave me a shot. But like, I've never left my daughter ever. Ever. >> And then you got your daughter in there and you're bringing some grown man that you've never met before back to your room. >> No. No. I love how you think that. No. >> So, who was the guy that lived with you? >> He drove me here. >> Are you kidding me? >> In the end, the mother is taken into custody and faces child neglect charges. If convicted, she could be looking at jail time, heavy fines, and deep involvement from child protective services in her parental rights. The online community was seriously outraged when this footage dropped. Let's take a look at what people had to say. So, she invited a random guy from the bar to sleep in the room with her daughter. No, sir. She's not cool. She's a liar and a drunk who makes really bad decisions. She walked up to that little girl and said, "What did you do?" Bringing back a stranger to the room with her little girl there. SMH. So scary and neglectful. What do you think about this woman? Drop your thoughts in the comments below. While one child was left waiting alone, another was forgotten inside a sweltering car. On July 19th, 2025, in the middle of a scorching summer day at a movie theater, police were urgently dispatched after reports of a child locked inside a car for over 30 minutes. With temperatures soaring past 100° F, the vehicle turns into an oven. And here's what really happened. And my siblings just got here and I had to go get my phone. >> You got a uh punch. She's been in there for like 30 minutes already. >> You got one. >> You got one. Go ahead. >> I know. Baby, >> go other side. Other side. Other side. Is that fire advised fire? The child's been in the car for about 30 minutes. Uh vehicles not running in the heat. Come here, baby. >> Are you serious? 30 minutes, ma'am. >> Hey, come here. >> Why would you wait 30 minutes to call us? >> You're okay. >> I was trying to get her off. >> I know. Come here, baby. I didn't have my phone. >> Yeah, you guys can go ahead and go with it. >> Ma'am, you can hang tight for a second. Talk to this officer right here. He's going to get some information from you. >> The the degree of annoyed she waited 30 minutes >> to call. >> Like what? Trying to get her done. >> 30 minutes. >> No AC, no nothing. >> Why? She said she she was trying to get her to unlock the door and she left her phone in the theater and she didn't want to run back in to get it. >> Are you serious? >> So so serious right now. >> Can I go around this way and see her? >> I don't know if it's open. You want to stand? It's not open. They're trying to keep this. There's AC in there. They're trying to keep the air inside cuz she's hot. >> I just wanted to make sure cuz I know I didn't call instantly cuz I was trying to get her to open the door. I didn't have my phone on me. My phone was stuck inside the theater. And >> what do you mean stuck? like >> like it was inside. I didn't have nobody was out here to help me like call or anybody and she was fine. Like she was okay. >> So the theater is open. Why would you not walk up to the window right there and tell them to call 911 for you? >> In most situations like this, a parent would do anything to get their child out, but she just stood there looking through the window. And that makes you wonder what exactly was coming first. >> I was like, but after 30 minutes and over 100°, how do you think that's going to affect her? Do you understand what I'm saying? You understand what I'm getting at? >> I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're getting at, but I'm trying to tell you it's Never mind. >> I guess her name. She So, she's up here at the theater for whatever reason. I'm assuming to watch a movie. She herself in the car. So, instead of And her phone is already inside the theater somehow, but the baby never made it into the theater. So baby locks herself inside the car. So instead of calling 911 immediately or going to summon help from the window, she tries to get the baby to unlock the door. So baby's not unlocking the door. So she doesn't want to leave the baby to go inside to get her phone to call 911. Doesn't want to walk up to the window to get the concier there to call 911. So instead waits 30 minutes with this child in this not running hot ass car. >> What is he doing for 30 minutes? >> Standing there at the window trying to talk the baby and unlocking the >> I estimate like maybe 10 to 30 minutes. I don't know. So, I didn't have my phone on me. I don't know what was going on. >> Okay. How Why was she in there that long? >> She was in the vehicle because we she was crying in the movie theater. So, I took us outside and I sat in the I sat us in the truck. The doors were open when I I her door was closed cuz I didn't want her to get out and run in the road, but the door was open and I we were sitting in the truck. I got out to bring us back inside because it was hot. So, I closed my door and I went around, but she locked the doors when I went around to go get her. And then she locked herself in the truck. I didn't have my phone on me to call anybody. And I didn't want to leave her out here by herself while I went inside to try and get help from somebody cuz I didn't anything could happen in the time that I go from here to there. >> Can somebody I get in my truck to go see her? Like, what what you got to do? Who >> is this? This is your son or who's he? >> That's my brother. >> This is your brother? >> Yes. >> Is there another adult here with the car? >> No. >> Okay. >> No. >> She claims she didn't leave because she was afraid of what might happen in just a few seconds. But at the same time, her child was already in real danger right in front of her. That contradiction left officers with no choice but to step in and make an arrest. >> She's 100% needs to go to jail. >> What do you think? Yeah, that >> you want to go ahead and advise her that she's going to be 10:15 and >> Yeah. >> All right, man. Go ahead. Turn around for me. >> Yep. Go ahead. Turn around for me. Go ahead. Find your back. >> Travel dangerous. >> Yeah. >> You're going to be going to jail today for child danger. >> Okay, that's fine. Has anybody been in here and talked to the boys inside yet? >> Not yet. >> You called 305's PX police. >> Hey, so what? So she brought the baby in or >> So I did not witness any of it, but I asked them if they saw anything and so they did say that they saw some stuff. So >> I'm assuming they were watching a movie. They came out to the lobby kind of deal. The kid was kind of like walking around the lobby and stuff. So I noticed that she brought a kid outside. She came back in she brought she came outside again, but I wasn't aware if she like came back in or not again. So >> So when she came out, she had the baby with her >> Mhm. >> And you did she come back in with the baby or was the baby >> first time? No, she came back in again, not with the baby at all. >> Okay. Did she ever say anything to y'all? >> Never mentioned like >> she didn't she didn't notice us at all. Like kind of she >> Okay. Did she look like she was in a panic or anything like that? Didn't look like she was in any type of distress. Were the other children, the other kids, those two older ones, were they with y'all when that happened? >> No. >> Were with her when that happened? I'm sorry. They were not. Were they still in the movie or >> I do not recall seeing >> saw the boy in the green shorts walk out like twice and didn't see a child >> and none of them said >> none of them said anything to us. They kind of just were walking in and out a couple times. Like I saw them standing next to the car and I'm thinking it looked from where I was it looked like the windows down. was chit chatting with whoever was in the vehicle. So like I'm thinking nothing of it cuz that happens all the time. So >> what was the time frame there? >> Um that would have been about 30 minutes ago that I saw the boy walking in and out. Um >> when was the last time you seen the child her she walked out with the child. >> I going to guess 20 30 minutes. I don't >> The theater staff provided a key detail, one that puts the whole situation into perspective. While most parents would walk out of a movie without a second thought for their child, she chose to separate herself from that responsibility. >> Um, this lady, she's in there watching, what I'm gathering is, she's in there watching a movie and I'm thinking that maybe the baby was showing out during the movie. So, and it's a little baby. She's maybe she's about to turn. So, she brings the baby out to the car um and puts the baby in the car unintentionally. I think unintentionally locks the baby in the car. Um, but a 30inut time lapse goes by where she is trying to coach the the 2-year-old the one-year-old to unlock the door, which is not going to happen cuz she's one. Um, and the from what the theater is saying, she had come back into the theater twice after the baby was already locked in the car. Did not appear to be any did not appear to be under any type of distress and never once asked him to summon for help for the baby that was in the car. And the baby was obviously in distress. The baby was obviously in distress. Yeah, she was sweaty. She was beat red. She was >> Oh, no. She's going to jail, right? At like 100% going to jail. >> So, you left from here after she got locked in the car. You left from here, went back inside? >> No. >> Okay. You were standing out here the whole time? >> Yes, I was standing out here the whole time with >> Okay. You did you try to flag anybody down? Hey, can you call 911? No, cuz No, there was nobody out here to like that I could get down get to and I was trying to get her to unlock the door cuz she knows how to unlock the door. She would just didn't want to. >> Okay, she if she wasn't unlocking the door, how come you didn't just run inside real quick to the desk and say, "Hey, call 911. My kids lock in the car." >> I didn't want to leave her out here by herself. >> It would have been 2 seconds rather than how long? 30 minutes. >> I don't know how long it was. >> That's what I'm saying. See, you don't have You said be You said between 10 and 30 minutes, right? between 10 and 30 minutes. Rather 2 minutes and then 5 minutes response to you immediately or 10 minutes standing here at the car staring at it through the glass. >> Okay, go ahead. Come with me. >> I'll get your items on the way up. >> You want 83? >> Turns out checking on her child meant walking out briefly, then going right back inside to finish the movie. Staff said she seemed completely calm. No urgency, no panic. And honestly, that's what makes this even more unsettling. >> And they'll notice side is a statement. >> Just briefly write down kind of what you told us. And if you could kind of explain to officer Tugman since he's the one that's going to be >> Okay. >> I'll be taking the look for it. So >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> If you could just kind of give me We'll step inside where, you know, you want to step inside where it's a little cooler. >> Um, do you have a pen? >> No. Well, there is one. based off of this, if you could just just kind of give me another >> just another like explanation of Yeah. what you seen, what what you saw. >> What a um Yeah, that's just basically about it. She walked in here with She was right over there, walked out here, >> baby was like messing around with the toys and stuff. >> Okay. She uh I noticed she went back and she went outside with the baby. She came back in and out like I think once or twice. >> Okay. >> No baby with her the uh first time. >> Okay. >> I didn't know where the baby was supposed to be. I don't really know. >> I didn't know if she went to go watch her movie again. >> Mhm. >> And that's kind of all I picked up. She seemed incredibly neutral, so I didn't really think anything was up or anything kind of >> Okay. And if you had to estimate about the stand like the time frame >> again about 30 40 minutes ago kind of deal. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Do you go ahead and raise your right hand for me? You swear that everything you put on here is the truth, not the military soft. Go ahead and sign for me. Thank you so much. >> The woman was arrested and taken into custody on child neglect charges. What do you think about a mother who went back into the theater twice instead of asking for help? Was it panic to the point of freezing or a cold, calculated choice just to finish the movie? Let us know your thoughts below. But somewhere else, another child doesn't even want to go home because their mother isn't sober anymore. On January 26th, 2025 in St. Cloud, Florida. On what should have been a quiet Sunday afternoon, police are called after a barefoot 4-year-old is seen walking toward busy traffic. No supervision, just pure neglect. And here's what really unfolded. >> So, the little guy was literally on the side of the road, probably with a dog >> and the mom wasn't anywhere. So, we pulled up and I asked him, I said, "Hey, where's your mommy?" And he wasn't really able to tell me where she was. So, I got out the car cuz we she wasn't anywhere to be found. So the dog came back this way and I said, "Come on, let's go find your mommy." So he started walking back with me like kind of like towards the gate. She came outside and he started running away from him. He was like, "I'm I'm afraid. I don't want to go with her." And he ran out back that way. So I ran after him again. That's when I called the cops cuz he didn't want to come back, right? >> Okay. >> Okay. Um she didn't make any comments towards you guys. Nothing. >> No, she wasn't rude. She was just yelling at the little guy. Yeah, >> she doesn't like that's what we get. No one likes >> she was telling the guy that you know she was like your daddy's going to go to jail and it's going to be your fault and just stuff like that. But she didn't say anything that had happened by the hand. >> Did she seem a little intoxicated at all to you guys? >> She seems a little a lot intoxicated. >> Okay. >> Do you mind telling me what what happened today? >> I mean I wasn't really here like >> Yeah. You never hear it. >> I went to the club. I guess myself like in middle of the street you're chasing them right or >> well just tell him what you No telling you >> I know but that's not what they're asking you they're asking you about your day no don't worry about >> what made you leave the house what like why >> I was going to the store >> okay >> I haven't left the first time I left >> yeah knowing that I'm right >> how were you sleeping you was not sleeping >> took him to jail broke him to jail >> yeah I went I stepped out real quick and then all this Okay. >> And then my morning is fine. >> What basically what were you doing all day of the house? Like chilling, doing what? >> Uh watching TV. I mean, >> she was here too. She was here and then she left for a little bit and took the Uber and then she came back and then she was in the room and I was in the living room. >> While most parents put their kids first, Laura let hers wander straight into danger. This wasn't a one-off mistake. It was a pattern of choices. And during all of it, she casually claimed she was just chilling. >> I'll speak in English. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Don't be rude. >> I understand Spanish. >> The little guy was on that side of the road. >> Oh, what side? Exactly. >> Right here by where the white line is. >> Sign past the sign. >> Yeah, probably closer to where yours is. >> He um was he had a little dog with him, so he was walking that way. I I stopped. Where's your mom? Uh he he didn't tell me where his mom was. So I said, "Where's your house?" And he couldn't tell me that either, but the dog came back this way. So he started walking back after the dog. So I I was like, "Do you live here?" And he was walking towards the gate. So we went that way. The lady came out and he ran away from her. He was like, "I'm scared. I don't want to go with her. I don't want to go with her." She was telling him, "Just come." So he started running back that way. So I went after him and brought him back. But >> okay. And since you don't want to go her cuz I don't know what the situation is and I don't know if he's either over mommy and they so he the other side of the road and mommy's holding on because she doesn't want him to run off the road because looking for the lead >> and all the time since she bought a little over here. So now the baby on the ground will run after the puppy. We're trying to save him. And I told him yesterday we are today here with the puppy. He's after the puppy to put himself in danger for the puppy. >> Okay. >> So that's what he did. >> And at some point you said you saw the mom coming out and he went back to the road. >> Yeah. He went he ran back. >> She led her. She just came about here and she >> said she was done. >> Yeah. She take me to jail. She was calling. >> Somebody saying that she >> I think she was trying to call him telling him like he's out in the road. >> Are you willing to provide a statement? A written statement. >> Ain't that recording? >> Yes. But there's a paper. >> I have a dinner date that I have to get to with my husband. >> When exhaustion turns into neglect, the consequences don't stay small. Once Miranda writes are read, things officially shift into serious territory. But to her it doesn't seem to land at all. >> Do you understand each of these rides I have explained to you? >> Yeah. >> So Laura, what's going on today? What's happening? >> I mean, he told you that the kid went away. I'm over here. >> But I want I want to hear your side. What's going on with you? What What were you were doing today that lead to all this? >> I don't know. Earlier I call the domestic abuse starting to get sheltered cuz I'm done with him and everything. So what's going on with him? >> No, it's just not nothing going on with him. It's just like I'm trying to get out of this relationship and I need shelter cuz I obviously if I leave him I need shelter. So and then I >> So there is something happening between you and him that you want to leave or you just tired of the situation. It's everything. Everything. I guess I just called the domestic violence account and then nobody me and I see then I wake up and then next thing you know it's cubs everywhere and then the kid is my son is away again. >> So if you want to arrest me, arrest me. I don't care. >> Okay. >> I'm done. >> Did something happen with the kid today that >> No, nothing happened with the kid. He just decides to Run away. Run away. I'm I'm I'm also Oh, this he's for and I'm also trying to take him to [ __ ] >> When the When the lady came up to you uh to bring back the the boy, um he tried to he he said he didn't want to be with you. Did something happen? >> He doesn't want to be with me cuz he knows if he does that, I'mma beat his >> and then he's scared. And then it's not that I'm beat him like I'm just saying like why you Brian when you got home right there. Okay. >> Have you been drinking today? >> Yes. >> A lot. >> Yes. I drink a bottle of like a pin bottle. Yeah. Cuz I'm tired. My I punch a window last year. My hand is not safe. >> When a child hesitates to go back and shows fear toward their own mother, that's not something you brush off. Yet, while safety should have been the focus, Laura seemed more concerned about costs and insurance. >> You said I punch a window last year. >> You punch a window last year? >> Yeah. >> How? What do you mean last year? How is a year ago or >> last year? >> A month ago? Because a month ago was last year. I need to know how >> what like what's gonna happen [ __ ] like you see me do or not like I'm done I don't want to talk to somebody right like you said we right >> Yep. That's why I'm just just reminding you just letting you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Laura, stand up. >> Just going here. >> I can show you my address to my house. >> You don't have to. >> No, no, that's fine. I just >> How far you live on? >> I live right >> on his way home. I I don't know how to get. >> We were both on our way home. >> I stopped to get gas and somehow he gets >> That was your mistake. >> Yep. >> Yeah, cuz she probably would have gotten to this first. >> Yeah. Actually, I'm so glad I get gas. >> We both work the same area, so we both coming across at the same time. >> Who's got gloves on over here? Anybody? >> I got gloves on the car. >> Yeah, so do I'm not walking down on So good, too. >> Yeah. >> Put your hands like this so it doesn't bother you. >> It's a bad habit, but >> Oh, yeah. Way to back. >> You're going to be going to jail and we're going to bake your acne. >> Bake your acne. >> Yes. Because of your societal thoughts. >> No, I'm not. >> She almost welcomes the arrest. Like it's a way to end the situation instead of a wakeup call. That kind of reaction says this goes beyond being overwhelmed. It's about how she chooses to face responsibility. >> And if you need extra help because you said you try to get out of here and everything, once you talk to your um doctors inside your back, they're probably going to find you the help that you need. So that's why we're doing it. >> That's going to cost money. >> No worry about that now. >> All right. Do you have anything on you that I need to know about >> needles, drugs, knives, bombs, explosives, monkeys, anything? >> Okay. Step out with your feet wide stance, please. >> Thank you. >> You have anything in your croc? >> We're probably going to kick those off here in a second. Okay. All right. Uh, raise this leg up. >> Out of your croc. Out of your croc, girl. There you go. Raise it up for me as best you can. >> There you go. >> All right. Go ahead. Same thing with the next one. >> If you want to get close to the car, so you can >> lean on the car if you want. There you go. >> All right. Anything on you that I need to know about that you want to tell me about before you go to the jail? Anything in your bra? Anything in your underwear? Cuz they're going to search you there. Okay. Okay. All right. Now's your chance cuz I'm here. Once you're with them, you're with them. Okay. All right. >> In the end, Laura Penzon is charged with child abuse and neglect. She also faces mandatory mental health evaluation under the Baker Act after making statements about self harm and violence. So, what do you think? Was alcohol the cause of the neglect, or was the neglect already there, and alcohol just brought it out into the open? But this isn't the end. Somewhere else, another mother is pushing her child into something even more terrifying. On November 16th, 2025 in Milwaukee, police respond to what starts as a routine rear-end crash at a red light. But it quickly escalates when signs of intoxication appear and two young children are found in the back seat. Here's what really happened. >> How you doing? So, what happened? >> So, I was just sitting at the red light waiting to turn and boom, I just got rear ended. Okay. Turn in this parking lot. She's clearly pretty [ __ ] up and she got her kids in the back. So, >> I was just in the middle of a Door Dash order. Cancel that right now. >> What uh what light were you guys at? What intersection? >> Just this one right here. Turn left in here. >> Right there. Milwaukee. Turn left. Okay. >> Um got it. And this is your car over here. Sedan. >> Oh, mommy is okay. Yeah. >> Ma'am. Ma'am. >> I don't know. >> Huh? >> What's going on there, ma'am? >> Do you know where you are right now, ma'am? >> Yes. >> Where you Where are you at? >> How old are you, buddy? >> Five years old. >> Five. Okay. Why'd you ask him in the slot? >> Stop traumatizing my >> what? >> Stop traumatizing my kid. >> You're not traumatizing your children. >> Where you coming from today, ma'am? >> Yeah. >> You still working on ID for me? Ma'am, can I get your driver's license? >> Ma'am, >> ma'am, can I get your driver's license, please? >> She was talking. >> She's clearly not alert, nodding off, slurring her words. When she refuses to step out of the vehicle, officers have to step in. But what hits hardest is the child sitting there watching all of it unfold. >> Ma'am, step out of the vehicle now. >> You're going to be okay, sweetheart. Okay. >> I promise you're going to be just okay. >> Is that your favorite Squishallow? >> Ma'am, get out of the vehicle right now. >> That's your favorite Squishallow? >> Yeah. I like it. I wanted to go home. >> I wanted to go home. >> You want to go home? >> Ma'am, let's go. Step out of the vehicle. >> Step out of the vehicle right now. Ma'am, >> don't touch me. >> I need you to step out of the vehicle. Okay. >> Dad, >> we're here to help you. >> Come on, man. Step out. You don't want to do this for any kids. >> Don't get touching. You don't want to do this in front any kids, ma'am. Step out of the car now. >> What do you mean I don't want to do this for any kids? >> Don't touch me. >> You're up. >> Huh? >> You're up. >> Ma'am, last warning. >> Don't touch me. What have I done wrong? Don't you touch me back. Baby. Oh, baby. Baby, she's okay. >> Who the are you? No, don't touch me. >> Don't touch me. Don't Who the are you? Who the You want to [ __ ] tell somebody, buddy? You're being No. No. Somebody hurt somebody. I'm from No, you just let me go. No, >> ma'am. Relax. >> No, you got me up. You got me up. Let me up. Let me >> Did you get the other one? >> NO. >> The whole I'm doing this for my kids narrative falls apart. What's left doesn't look like protection. It looks like control in all the wrong ways. And when emotions override judgment, things rarely end well. >> Get this [ __ ] off me. Get this [ __ ] off me. I don't give a Get this [ __ ] off me. >> Get this off me. >> Do you have anything on you that's going to poke me? >> Just get this [ __ ] off me. I do not want to st me. You got this. And I want my kids. And I want my kids. >> She's okay. She's >> okay. Yes. I don't want to talk to my smell on your breath. >> I drink. >> He what? I drank Jack. >> You drunk Jack? >> Yes. And I can say that to you. >> Please. Like, >> are you guys okay? >> Just my kids. I've never been hit. I've never been hit by a b nothing.

Take this [ __ ] out of me. >> Stop trying to slip the cuffs. >> Take this [ __ ] on me. >> If you slip the cuffs, you're going to be in trouble. Okay. >> Look at me, man. >> No. No. Do you guys have a warrant? >> Do you want Do you want to blow a kiss today? Yes or no? Do you have a warrant? >> We don't need a warrant, ma'am. >> You want to go into this? Yes or no? >> Take the [ __ ] out of me. >> Okay. >> No, you can't take a deep breath. Go out CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL >> YOU DON'T have a reason to take. >> She seems more focused on winning than resolving the situation. Says she wants to see her kids, but won't follow a single instruction. And once it turns into an argument, nobody's actually moving forward anymore. No, you don't have presents. No. >> Yep. >> No. >> Do you want to? >> Yeah. >> Who are you? >> Officer Newsman. >> Where are my kids? >> They are still in the car. Okay, let me get them. >> You're not going to have your kids right now. You can talk to me. >> No, you let me get my kids. >> Nope. >> You get the out of the way. >> I don't want to play anymore. >> Let me see. No. >> Kids, right? >> Well, then you have to cooperate with us. We don't want to have to add more stuff on top of what's already happening. Okay. >> So, please put your foot in the car. No, >> my dog. Huh? >> Let me talk to my kids. >> You can talk to them if you put your foot in the car. Okay. >> No. >> Yes. That's the way it's going to work. >> I'm lying. You're You'reing lying, >> ma'am. Put your foot in line. Let me do it now. >> No. >> Shut the No, I'm not closing. I'm not. >> Oh my god. >> Okay. I'm telling you, I'm not talking.

Whoa. You got me handcuffed everything. Let me talk to my kids. Let me talk to my kids. >> Let me talk to my kids. >> You're not talking to your kids. >> No, I want to see. I want to >> officers make it clear this won't look good in court. Still, she chooses to resist. Not a move that protects parental rights, but one that risks losing them altogether. And that kind of fallout doesn't end at the scene. >> Okay. That's all I'm asking for. That's all I'm asking for. Dude, you tried. >> Now I'm letting you know. >> You can try again. >> Try again. >> Yep. You're going to add another charge on and it's going to look even worse for you in court when it comes time to seeing your children again. >> This is the last >> Why did I try to say to my >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> [ __ ] You shoulding. You should have know. >> Okay, I can look it up, but I'm talking to you right now. As a as a mother myself, I am asking you what your name is. >> Youing know. >> Okay. >> She's too intoxicated to complete the fields. >> She admitted to having Jack earlier. >> She's incoherent when we got up here. She's drooling on herself. Kids terrified. >> Can smell it on her breath. >> Eyes drool, everything. I mean, >> yeah. All right. So, talk to this guy. Get his information. >> The 1050 that can. >> That's back burner. Get his information. Get what you need for the 1050. This is priority. You got child endangerment.

I mean, that's what we're trying We're trying to help your kids get home safe. Okay. >> Leave the alone. >> I Hey, I will I promise I will leave you alone. >> Shut the up >> as soon as we can figure out. >> We just want to get your kids home safe. >> Shut the up. My kids need to be here with me. >> Okay. Well, that's not an option right now. >> Take this off me. I'm not hurting anybody. >> I know. Maria, can you talk to me? >> Take these off me. Take these off me. Well, the sooner we we >> take these off. >> I know. The sooner we GET A HOLD OF THEM. >> NO, take these off. I'm going to answer. >> Okay, then you >> then DCFS is going to have to take them into protective custody.

And that's what's going to happen. Okay. >> Okay then. Thank you for doing that. Thank you for leaving. >> In the end, she's taken into custody facing DUI and child endangerment charges. If convicted, she could be looking at jail time, heavy fines, and even losing custody of her children. The takeaway: When a child's safety gets weighed against alcohol and an unchecked ego, the result is often a family falling apart right there at a stoplight. But the nightmare doesn't stop here. Somewhere else, two children are left inside a car for over an hour. On July 12th, 2025 in Palatine, Illinois, police respond to a report of a running vehicle with two three-year-olds inside. What starts as a routine welfare check quickly reveals something far more concerning. And here's what really happened. >> We got your phone back. Don't worry. >> Yeah, they're just talking to grandma. So, grandma's going to come pick you guys up, okay? And then you guys get to go home where all your toys are, right? You guys getting tired? >> Yeah. Me, too. >> Okay. Um, >> I got a gun, too. >> What happened? >> I got a gun, too. >> You're going to go, too? >> He's He's asking why we got a gun. >> Yes, me too. >> Oh, yeah. >> I didn't got a gun. >> Why do police have guns? >> Because sometimes there's bad guys with guns, right? >> Yeah. And it's trying to shoot guns. >> Yeah, we don't we don't want to do that though. >> We want to shoot um toy gun >> and we pretend to shoot him. >> Toy guns are fun. >> Like water guns. Those are my favorite. >> We got water guns. >> I want to shoot the water guns to that. I want to shoot the water gun at the bad guys and quickly and I will quickly get in the house >> and lock the door. >> All right. >> She just basically left them here and left. >> Yeah, I guess. >> So, what we're going to do is grandma's coming. >> We're going to take these guys. We're going to get FD rolling just to get them checked out. Wait for grandma. Grandma leaves >> with them. We're calling BCFs, letting them know grandma. And uh if she shows up, we're busy obviously the child endangerment little running. >> Is the car running? Are there keys in this car? Do you guys have keys for the car? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> The keys is right there. >> Oh, okay. >> Two toddlers sit inside a running car, distracted by phones and video calls, completely unaware of the danger around them. Meanwhile, the real question is where is the person responsible? coffee. >> So, she's saying that the mom could possibly be in a friend's house in one of these. So, >> this went to the second floor. This comes back. >> Oh, I think it's 2A. >> Yeah, I think it's >> Well, she said she she lives in 2 A. That's why they >> Oh. Oh, that's why they called us. Okay, that makes sense. >> Well, she's there's she's saying that she went inside to her friend's place. So, if you want to just knock on the doors, >> I'm going to call. >> Okay. >> Do you know whose car this is? >> No. >> Yeah. Yeah. something. >> Have you guys ever seen an ambulance before? >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Only the police? Well, now you get to meet some firemen or paramedics. Okay. All right. Hi. >> As firefighters check on the kids, the mother is still inside a nearby building. Their safety at that moment depends on strangers. And when she finally walks out, her reaction says more than any explanation ever could. >> They were fighting at us and they had a phone. >> Is that your car? >> Yeah. >> Hey, you want to step out here cuz you you left your kids in the car. Yeah. Put your shoes on. Hey, Mom. >> What's your name? Mom. >> Lily, come talk with me about my car real quick. Okay. They're going to get checked out, but we got to talk to you. >> All right, Mom. What's going on? >> Are they okay? >> What's going on? The problem is you parked the car at 10:26 and haven't been back out. That's a problem. Okay. So, they're going to get checked out by FD. Okay. All right. I need to put your hands on the face. >> Can I put this stuff in my car? >> Put on the hood. >> Is my car going to be good? >> We're going to have a conversation after we talk with the fire department. >> Okay. We have an extra phone. Oh, yeah. You might want to talk to about your kids. So, what I'm who's going to pump it on my kids? >> So, you have a choice, grandma or DCFS comes and picks them. >> You're going to be arrested. >> Okay. Because they've been in there since 10:26. >> No. The reason why we know that somebody has a video of you parking the car and you walking out. Robert, >> you left them in a running. >> They could push pedals, shift it. Who knows what could happen. >> That's a problem. Huh? >> I hope you understand that. >> In her priorities, ego and property seem to come before her children's safety. But when officers run her record, another detail surfaces, turning this from simple neglect into something much bigger. >> Let me see if FD has to talk to you. I'm not sure. >> Okay. So, >> my mom, thank you for the message. >> We talked to you, Mom. >> So, is she on her way? She Yeah, she's going to come and take you uh take the kids. >> Um obviously DCFS is going to be notified. >> Um >> okay. >> So what about my car? >> Well, that's somebody's parking spot. They're going to be able to take it home. >> I don't know if two people are coming. Your mom and your dad. I don't know. We We'll figure that out in a minute. >> Name and date of birth before you guys take >> Yeah. So, we have all their info. Do you want to talk to her about anything else? >> No. So, you have all the kids? >> Yeah, we have all their kids involved. Yeah. She's got a warrant. So, she's going to go. Grandparents are coming to take them. >> Yeah, we got that. So, you guys are fine with that. So, as long as we can get that, we give you a quick report and then we're we're going to still do a child service. Okay. >> Yeah. Awesome. >> So, you have a warrant out of King County? >> Why didn't you tell me that? I didn't ask, but All right. So, wait a second. So, obviously you're going to be going to jail the night. See a judge in the morning and then what was I don't even know what's it for. The warrant. >> Traffic court. >> Okay. All right. So, they'll end up giving you a new court date. And the whole thing with DCFS, I don't know if you've ever have you dealt with them before. No issues before. I mean, that's a good thing, you know, but they're still going to want to show up at your house. you know, they're going to do some visits and make sure that everything's good. >> An hour with her boyfriend turns into an arrest, a DCFS investigation, and an active warrant coming back to life. Definitely not the kind of date night she had in mind. >> Do you need any keys off of this or somebody will be home when you get out? >> Let me give them to your mom. >> You could take the one with the little this little thing. I could take this. >> That's all you need? Those house? Yeah. Your wipes and your money. What do you want to do with the money? >> Um, you want to put this stuff in your car? >> Yeah. Can I >> put it in your >> Cuz if you know what my bond would be. >> No. They might be able to tell you at lockup, but I don't know. Or give it to your parents or you don't want to. >> Am I able to take it with me? >> Yeah, it's Yeah, it's your money. >> So, you'll take your You want to take your phone? Yeah. Your phone, your money, and your keys. Cool. >> That's I'll put back in your car. >> Can I go look at my kids? >> So, what? Yeah. When they're done, let them get checked out. Um, I don't really want them I don't know about them seeing you in handcuffs. Um, but once they're cleared, you want to peek in kind of thing. Say, you know, you got to go. Whatever you want to tell them. Okay. Um, I'm fine with that. >> Okay. >> I might go to at least move my car like to the regular. >> It'll be up to your mom. >> Okay. This is kind of a big deal. >> I know. >> You know, 5 minutes might be I ran in to grab something. That's still trouble, but it's >> In the end, she's taken into custody facing child abandonment charges, enforcement of an active warrant out of King County and a full investigation by child and family services. So, what do you think? What's a fair consequence for a parent who puts personal needs and a car ahead of their children's safety? And should DCFS ever consider giving Lily custody back after this? But the story doesn't end here. It escalates as officers are pushed to their limits in the next incident. On October 29th, 2024, in a Costco parking lot, police are called after reports of two children left inside a car with no engine, no AC in nearly 80° F heat. A situation that may seem familiar, but is far more dangerous than it looks. Here's what really happened. >> How are you? >> Good. What's going on? >> I was just through the turn and I >> I know. Uh, is there kids in the car? >> There are. >> Okay. Is the car on? >> It was on. >> What do you mean it was on? because I had the automatic start and it just shut off honestly. >> Okay. Do you have your ID on you? >> Sure. >> Any problems? >> Okay. Are the kids okay? >> Yeah, they're okay. Here. We just honestly I just had to say goodbye to my grandpa. He's going to I just wanted to run in really quick. I'm not trying to make excuses. They're fine. This was not an easy morning for me. >> Okay. Can you talk to them? I'll talk to them. >> You talk to them. I'll talk to >> Hi, how are you? >> Hi. Good. on. If not, can you hit the remote start on your phone again at least so the kids have some air conditioning? Sure. >> Hi. Hi. >> I was just telling him I just had to say goodbye to my grandpa. He's going I just wanted to run in really quick. I just had a quick return. I wasn't I'm not trying to do anything wrong. >> Right. But you couldn't bring your kids in. >> I I guess I chose not to. I'm not I'm not making excuses. I'm just like I just wanted to just do this really quick. >> Right. But you have children. It's a responsibility. You're supposed to bring them in you. That's endangering the life of children. >> They're fine. >> Well, I get that you think that they're fine, but you left them in a car. It's also almost >> Compared to Parents who prioritize their children's safety, her decision not to bring them inside over something minor shows a clear lapse in judgment. Even as officers walk through the risks, she stands firm like nothing's wrong. >> It could have been 15 minutes. It could have been 5 minutes. Could have been half hour. I mean, you don't know how long the line is, right? >> I mean, yeah. You have to take care of your children. >> I agree. >> And he already got your information. Okay. Did he get your children's names? >> She has plenty of room to back up. >> I'll make sure people don't All right. You're good, man. >> Did you get that children's info, too, or just hers? >> Yeah, it's just >> Okay. All right. Perfect. Hang on for me one second. If you just want to wait in your car, don't leave. Get out. She claims she was only gone for a minute, but the cameras tell a different story. Time doesn't lie. And what's more concerning, she still treats it like no big deal. >> Do you want me to go inside with him and get the time quicker? >> Yeah, if you don't mind. >> Hey, do you have a moment? Um, this lady left uh her two children in the car cuz she had to return something really quick and uh they're born in 20 and 22, so they're super young, both in car seats. The air conditioning wasn't even on the car. The car wasn't running. It was off. Uh, B's going in to check the cameras and everything. Um, I know that this is like an arrestable thing, but is this just a notice to appear now or Yeah, me too. But I just wanted to double check. I I called Tyson because I know he wrote wrote this once. Scott, I can't talk. I'm sorry. I don't know if I could just write it as like a ticket basically, you know. >> Okay. Should I just have her drive to the PD since she's got these kids? Okay. And then I just do up the criminal charges there. >> Okay. Yeah. Just that way she won't have to get somebody to watch the kids and stuff. Okay. She It's going to be charged for each kid. So it would be two misdemeanors. Correct. >> I'm charging with each just cuz. Okay. All right. Thank you. Bye. Okay. So, since you have two kids, you can follow us to the PD. We're going to do everything there. It's two misdemeanor charges, so you're actually being arrested, but I'm not going to I mean, if you want, you could have somebody pick your kids up. You could leave your car here. I can cuff you and arrest you, or you could just follow us to the PD. I'm kind of giving you a better option. It's endangering the life of a child. You'll get two counts because there's two kids in the car. Um, so I'll give you a court date information. Um, like I said, DCFS will be contacting you. Um, and then make sure you show up to court. But do you know where the Lincoln Hills Police Department is? >> I don't, but I'll follow you. >> Okay. Yeah. You could either just follow us like I'll like he could go. >> Instead of focusing on what her kids just went through, her attention shifts to how her husband might react and whether she can keep this from him. That alone says a lot about her priorities at that moment. be fine for now. So, yeah, I'll just have him go first and then I'll just follow you guys. Um, so just follow us through and then it's it's literally like 2 minutes from here, but this way we don't have to uh we'll have you just wait in the conference room. You can bring the kids in there with you and I'll write up the um forms and then we'll let you go. Okay. I don't know if I should technically say she's 11:01 because we're not really >> Is your husband going to be decent about this or are you like is this going to be a fight when he gets wondering how much I want to tell him? >> Gotcha. >> Do you think I mean like will he be supported? >> It's not like I was doing anything that crazy. It was just a return sentences from imprisonment more than you're not going to I will bet you my paycheck right now just so we're clear just just so we're clear if this even like in all seriousness I'm trying to think of like the most ridiculous thing that I could put on the line right now I would be shocked That's very unlikely. Okay, you're not if they in all seriousness like I can't go into detail, but I have seen some like horrific child abuse cases, okay? And this is not, you know what I mean? Like I'm I'm telling you, I've seen some bad things that have not ended up in this. Just so we're clear, okay? >> At this point, it's no longer about what she says. It's about how she sees the situation. Being stopped by police seems to bother her more than the actual danger her children were in >> that you're not going to do again. Compared to some of the other stuff that I've seen, I would bet you anything >> could do anything so just stupid. Stupid. So, this is going to be easier to think about later. Okay? I know right now this is like very like in your face. You're dealing with it. You're in the middle of dealing with it. If this is the worst thing that ever happens, okay, this is does not mean anything about you as a mom. Okay? This doesn't mean anything about you as a person. Thank you. >> All this is is this was a mistake. Okay, that's that's it. You did something un It sounds like this was not even like an intentional you know what I mean. There was no intent to cause any harm. >> Okay. >> Never. >> It's a mistake. It's a mistake. Everybody makes them. >> Never make them. >> Everybody makes mistakes. Every single person. So this is a mistake. It doesn't say anything about you as a person. Okay. >> In the end, she's taken into custody and charged with child abuse/endangerment. If convicted, she could face fines up to $3,000, a year of probation, and ongoing monitoring from child protective services. Once this footage was released, the public reaction was intense. People were outraged by what they saw. And this is just one of those reactions. She's not remorseful. She's just irritated. Her punishment should include forcing her to sit in a hot car with the windows up. Costco is one of the few stores that have double-seater carts. Very easy to take the kids inside with you. What do you think about the officer's leniency in this case? Drop your thoughts below. A tense moment snaps and that drive ends in consequences that can't be undone. On January 14th, 2025, police were called after reports of a damaged SUV driving erratically. At the scene, they find a woman with two young children inside after crashing into a stop sign. And here's what really happened. >> I didn't start. >> What happened? >> So, right. Turn off the wipers. >> Right when I was going at >> Okay. Grab your driver's license. >> Do you have a valid driver's license? >> What's that? >> What' you give me? Driver's license. >> It's ID card. >> So, what what happened? >> Okay. So, I >> I can't hear you. But I was turning to street >> 40. Your number is going to be 306 that little sliding in ice and like I was trying to control the car >> and then it literally hit the stop. >> Where at? >> Um right at that I can take you there. Like it's right at the corner of It's usually where the people cross to help people cross the road. >> The corner of what? >> I don't know. >> I thought Okay. What's in your hand? >> 40 from 12 for 43. I'm back. >> Who's poop? >> Kids poop. Right from the start, the loss of control shows in her speech, in her unfocused eyes. But instead of checking on her kids after the crash, her attention stays locked on explaining what happened to the vehicle. >> So, how did you why are you here now? >> Because I went to those because >> Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, but what I'm saying is where It's over by the um there's like >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, why why aren't they over there? >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Raquel. Okay. Can you step out of the car? Okay. You said you haven't had anything to drink or uh no drugs, prescription drugs or anything this morning? >> No. >> Okay. So, you don't have a problem doing like a a field sobriety test, right? >> Yeah. No worries. >> Okay. All right. Do you want to do it here or how about we go to the the police department? So you wouldn't be under arrest right now, but go over to the police department where it's warm and dry. You think you can form it here? >> You said you think you can form it here or somewhere where we can go one of these other places where it's dry and warm inside. >> Well, it wouldn't be that long. It's two minute difference. >> Guys, please send me that. >> That's not going to happen either way. >> Why don't you take her to the PD? Do it. I'll just run it. Yeah. We're going to go walk go to my car. We're going to go to the PD and do that while this officer waits with me. Can you get the >> Can I go directly to take off? >> No, no, no. >> You're going to We're going to go It sounds like a better idea. You're going to have to walk and stand. You're already shivering. You're already cold, >> right? That's what I say. So, the better idea is to go over to the police department, right? >> Okay. Okay. >> Where it's dry and it's warm. >> Okay. All right. >> No, no, no, no. You're going to come with me. He He'll stay here with that. >> I'll figure all this. I I'll leave your car here. Come out and grab the kids. I'll wait with the car. >> You'll leave the car. Come on. >> No, they'll be fine. While the officer weighs weather conditions to safely conduct field tests, she seems almost detached from the situation. Only when officers mention taking the kids somewhere warm does she seem to remember they're even there. >> Okay. All right. Have you follow tip my finger with your eyes and your eyes only. You need to take that time. With your eyes and your eyes only. Do not move your head. You understand? Mhm. All right. Do you have any problem standing on one leg? No. Okay. All right. You got to keep your hands out of your pockets, please. Okay. >> 21. >> What's been hurting you? >> Okay. Just the one leg you want. >> I'm going to have you take your hands out of your pockets. Okay. >> You're going to have at your side. >> Okay. Um, >> you're going to lift one leg up 6 in above the ground, toe pointed out, >> looking at your toe. I want to have you count out loud like 1 1,00 2 100 3 100 4 100 5 100 6 100 until I tell you to stop. >> Funny. We're going to have to hold that. >> It's important that you listen. >> So, count out loud. >> If you put your foot down, pick it right back up and continue on. >> Okay. Hands at your side. Don't raise them any more than six inches from your side for for balance. Looking at your foot, toe pointed out. >> Okay. Do you understand everything? >> Like this? >> Yeah. Hands at your side, not in your pockets. Don't raise them from your side more than 6 in. >> Okay. >> You're going to have lift your foot, whatever you choose, toe pointed out, >> looking at your foot, counting out loud like I demonstrated. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Do you have any questions? >> Okay. Hold on one second. All right, that's enough. >> So, that's enough. Yeah. Well, you It was 30 seconds. You didn't count out loud either. >> Okay. >> So, what I'm going to have you do is >> stand here with your come over here to this straight line. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Put your left foot on the line. Put your right foot in front. >> She's supposed to be the one holding things together, but now she's the one stumbling. And in that state, choosing to keep driving with children in the car, that's not a judgment call. That's a risk. >> Right foot in front, toe touching heel. Be on on the line. There you go. You got to have your toe. Don't start. I did. I I need you to stand there. >> Okay. >> The other way. Put your other Put your right foot in front of your left. Right. >> Yes. >> Okay. Stand there while I explain this to you. Okay. >> Okay. >> Again, hands at your side. Don't raise them anymore. 6 in for balance. Okay. You're going to take nine heel to toe steps forward. Make a series of small turns with the your last with the the plane of the ninth step. You take the other foot, make a series of small turns, take nine heel to heel steps back towards your starting position. Okay? I'm going to demonstrate part of it for you. Okay? So, starting at your start position that you need to stay in. Okay? Stay in that position. You're going to do this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine steps. And then take your other foot and make a series of small steps like this. Okay. Around and take nine heel to toe steps back, touching heel to toe every time, keeping your hands at your side. Don't start. Don't do not start yet. Stay there until until I'm I'm done explaining, >> but in the position that I told you to. >> Okay. >> It's okay. So, hands to your side. Nine heel to toe steps. Heel to toe steps forward. Make series of small turns. Nine heel to toe steps back. Heels touching toe each step. Hands to your side. Do you have any questions? >> The officer's calm stands in sharp contrast to her confusion. When her arguments stop working, she pivots, playing like she doesn't understand, but her unsteady steps say everything that needs to be said. >> On street or near game street, >> it's right on like can't be side. >> Okay. >> Um it's right like when you come from my house there's I didn't feel the street. Um, it was like literally like ice and then when there's like like that south end right there corner. >> Were you on Dean Street at the time? >> No, I was on that side road that would take me from my house to Dean Street. >> Okay. Okay. Um, is there anyone that you can call to come pick up the your children? Do you have a husband or boyfriend that you live with or where the Okay. Where's the the children's parent? >> Okay. So, she's not here. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Well, we got to figure out some way to to get them. Um cuz what did you have this morning? Is did you have alcohol? Did you have some sort of drugs? >> I promise you. I >> Okay. Well, you're you're under the influence of something right now. You failed all the tests. You're going to be under resp. >> I've never been a roller in my life. Can I recheck a tape? Like I I'm like >> you do what? >> Can I test the soriety test? I'm nervous. I've never been there before. >> Okay. But I mean the just coming over here wasn't an issue. It was just as So you're warm because like I said, it it'd be a lot harder to do that out there considering the conditions >> than in here. >> Yeah. Can I redo it again? >> No. Like I said, you're you're under arrest for the DUI. >> A DUI? >> Yeah. >> I don't have any alcohol in my system. >> Well, you failed all the tests. >> How did I feel? I can go over that later, but I'm not going to go into great detail right now with you about it because I'm I just want to find a way to get your children to to school. In the end, she's arrested and charged with DUI, driving on a suspended registration, no insurance, and child endangerment. If convicted, she could face fines up to $4,000, a one-year license suspension, and up to 24 months of probation. But that's not where it ends. officers step in immediately, not just to enforce the law, but to protect the children from a situation that was clearly spiraling. On July 15th, 2023, in a quiet Georgia neighborhood, police responded to a domestic violence call. A pregnant woman claims she's the victim. But as officers dig deeper, the story starts to unravel. Here's what really happened. >> Who does the car belong to? >> It's in my name, but I'm going for it. I recently filed for bankruptcy so he can get it back. But I told him I want the keys back cuz I can't keep up the payments and I don't think it's fair that he gets to push me and tackle on top of me and I'm pregnant. >> What's your name? >> My name is Autumn. A U T. I'm just trying to go to a safe place. I don't want it to get any worse than it is. And that car is in my name. He hasn't making payments. It was recently taken by the state and I did file for bankruptcy so we can get it back. But I'm going to dismiss the court case and I'm going to return that 225 Pacific. He had some hanging on it, but it was in my name cuz I have the credit. I don't want no no ties with this. I just asking for the keys and my phone instead. I get tackled and pulled and keeps recording. He has recordings of me asking for my phone from last night. My other phone has video footage of him. >> iPhone 11. I have this phone that he took from me, but I took it back cuz he put it on the table. He did not. I saw this phone is my phone. By the way, >> I have a iPhone 11 that he is, but it's mine. It's in my name. I could pull up an email. >> What have y'all been fighting over? >> So, last night his kids, he wanted me to watch his kids, but I literally have video. His kids slammed the door on my foot and I refused to watch them. They cussed me out, calling me stupid bees. I have a video of it on my Instagram. I have videos of them just going crazy and I refused to watch them. And that's what he was mad about in the first place. I started recording it like I always do because no one believes me. And I sent it to his parents. He got mad. I was recording him last night. Took my phone, hid it in the video. He has my phone behind his back. I said, "He give me my phone." He says, "There's nothing behind my phone. I don't have nothing behind my phone." And his son is recording it. And then he goes out. When he goes out, he go put in the room somewhere and he says, "Your phone's in the room the whole time." And then he asked his son, I said, "Do you have behind his back?" His son said, "No, cuz they're all on his side." I called, you can see my phone right here. I called the domestic violence police yesterday and they said, "I have to follow the police." I said, "Okay." After today, when he kept grabbing me, I pushed him off of me and I guess he bumped his head or whatever or maybe my nail scratched him when I pushed him off me. I said, "I'm done with this." >> She had multiple phones, plenty of ways to call for help. But instead, she chose to record. And more often than not, when someone is focused on filming instead of solving the problem, there's usually more to the story. >> Him actually like pulling on you. >> No, I don't have a video of that. He took my phone. I couldn't record. I have a video. >> He took that phone as well? >> No. Yeah, he took this phone and my other purple phone. So, this was like after and this was actually on my Android. I have four phones, but my other purple iPhone has like a lot of footage of my stuff. I don't want to cause no harm. I'm leaving the scene and I am going to a domestic violence place. I'm leaving the premises. I am 3 months pregnant. I don't want no nothing else to happen. >> What domestic violence place? >> Oh, it's one in there was one downtown, but I have to go to one in Brunswick cuz that's the only place for me in my garden for a family. >> So, you've already called them at arrangements. You got a bedroom? Yeah, they said I have to make a police report in the morning and then they'll figure it out from there. My mom will drop me off to Savannah. >> Where does your mom live? >> My mom lives in Florida. >> So, where are you going now? >> I'm just going to go to McDonald's and wait for my mom to come. >> Going to push a baby stroller down Salem Road. So, did you ever get to the point where you've been enlisted? >> So, you didn't at no point like I could say I tried to go to Oxford College, right? >> No, I didn't. >> I didn't I didn't take steps sufficient to get >> It was either go to the military or be kicked out on the streets and that's where I met him. >> Okay. And it's just been I moved out to my parents house. Then I got sucked back in. I moved out to my own place, got stuck back in two bedroom, college park. I moved back in in February and it's never gotten this physical. I never felt the need to put my hands on him at all. But I have to protect myself and my scream for help. Those kids were watching. They didn't record that. They recorded. >> So what exactly happened this morning? >> So this morning I tried to tell them, "Can you give me my phone?" cuz you you said when I wake up my phone and my keys will be under my pillow when I wake up like a fairy princess. He said, "You're not getting it. You'll get it when the cops come." And I said, "Can you give me my phone? I'm literally about to go." And then he started to grab me. I took one of his other phones cuz he wouldn't >> she she glassed on to an older man and she's at his advantage. But it's up to her to break that cycle, break free, you know. >> And she's leaving. I mean, she flagged me down when I was on my way to the call. >> Yeah. We can at least get her her and her baby safe at the McDonald's and then we'll go make contact with him. >> I'm going to give you and your child a ride down to the McDonald's. >> She pushes a stroller down the street instead of addressing the situation directly. A child is present the entire time and when officers arrive, a witness with visible injuries begins to shift the narrative. Before it gets away from her, she gi the door, open the door, came shouting about she needs a phone, this and that. and and then strikes me with a with a with a with a with a metal Lysol can. >> Okay. Who is who is she? Who are you referring to? >> My daughter's mom. >> Okay. >> She has a child with with with me and we trying to stay away from her and she somehow g me the lot while we were sleeping and woke up and woke up to to her going off in the room. I'm trying to tell her to leave just get out and trying to find that you're causing this disturbance in front of my children and she just >> All right. First off, do you need an ambulance? >> I can't. I don't even need I I'll address it myself because >> you sure? >> Yeah, because I have four kids here. I don't have anyone. I was relying >> Well, the ambulance is going to come here and just check you out. >> Yeah. >> So, you guys were in that room for the door lock? >> Yes. >> And her and the little little one were in the master bedroom. And what were you guys arguing about? >> What is >> Right. That's the other part we're talking about. She has four phones total, correct? How many total does she have? >> One. >> Just one. >> That's his own. >> Okay. So, you don't have any other phones of hers? >> No. >> Okay. So, did that laceration occur before or after her video of you in the master bedroom this morning? It's off of her while she >> You needed that. >> So, you're saying at that point both of she left your bedroom, went back to the master, and then you followed her back in there, right? And I'm not trying to put words in your mouth. I'm just trying to get a clear picture cuz it's convoluted right now. >> Yeah, cuz she she kind of gave me a concussion. So, it's like I don't even I don't I'm trying to >> Well, let's go inside and show me where the can is. >> So, it's right here. >> You find it >> on top of the bag. >> Right here. It was right here. >> So, you guys were in here? >> Yeah. >> She brought this in here with her or was this already in here? >> Was already in here. >> So, she just picked it up. He's still asleep. >> Yeah, he's still the whole thing. >> He has developmental delays. >> I got you. So that cut to his eye happened when? >> Before I left. >> We're going to have to load up and ride over to the house. That way we can figure out what's going on because the stories are separate. >> Did you mention anything to her about the Lysol can yet? >> No. Just saying that. >> Let's keep that in our back pocket. >> While the boyfriend tries to keep the kids away from the chaos, she uses their presence to reinforce her version of events. What stands out is how little attention is given to the emotional impact on those children. >> She could take a look at it. >> I did. I did. >> You did? Okay. I'm going say now that we've cleaned it up so you a good look at it. >> So in in your medical opinion, would you describe that as a clean laceration or a jagged laceration? >> Clean. >> That was a more. >> Yeah. >> Hey, Mom. I just want to let you know if anything happens, I want you to come pick up Ariana. Michael trampled me to where I had to defend myself and I cut him and he called the cops. I was on my way to walk to the McDonald's. I had to defend myself. So I did push him and he did bump his head. He's leading. The EMS is here and the police is here. If anything happens to me, I want you to have custody of Ariana. I do not want him in custody of Ari. If nothing happens, if I do not get locked up for self-defense, I do want to go to they have a domestic violence place and it's kind of far. And I was wondering if I could put if you have like an empty room or garage to grab my stuff. I need you to do is fill this out as detailed as you can. >> Cuz I have been with females that because you try to keep an integrity and not hit them, it seems like it's it's like someone has to hit somebody. >> Mhm. >> And that's not fair. I don't put my hands on you. You put your hands on me. >> I mean, he's hitting all the elements that we need in there. So >> then she walked out with my daughter. So where was the baby sleeping at? >> I wonder if he means got the daughter and walked out of the house. Sometimes people time jump, right? >> You done with it. >> So now we have to determine in cases like this, is that a legitimate defensive wound where she's trying to protect herself or get away or is it an an offensive wound? >> I think that's an offensive wound cuz if he was grabbing on her and jerking on her like she said he was. She has no marks. So um where did the Lysol cam come into play at? >> I did not touch the Lysol can. >> So where were you guys when you state that you gave him the defensive wood? >> It was in the boy's room in the bathroom. I'm him and she is you. Tell me what happened. >> I was asking for my phone. >> Okay. So, you're asking for the phone. >> Okay. >> And he's restraining me to where? >> I'm restraining you how? >> Uh, >> she appears locked into a story that benefits her. But officers notice physical evidence that doesn't line up, including damage to a spray can. With experience on their side, they rely on facts, not narratives. >> Articulated in your written witness statement. When we ask you to write in detail what occurred, that's not what you put. That's not consistent with your verbal testimony. The injuries are also inconsistent with you pushing him on the shoulder and somehow your hand slipping all the way up to his left brow, slicing him with a nail. I've been doing this many, many, many, many years. Actually, longer than you've been alive. About the same time as you've been alive. I've never seen a fingernail cause a laceration that deep. >> The door is right here. I think he bumped it because he was I pushed him pretty hard off of me. But you told us with the exception of this time and one utterance probably about 30 seconds before this. Every other time you stated it was with your nail. >> Yes. >> So was it the >> It's either my nail or I pushed him in the he hit his head right there. >> There's no blood on the door jam, but there is a dented Lysol can next to the bed in the closer where he was laying. >> I did not touch the Lysol can. I was sitting down. >> That injury is inconsistent with a fingernail scratch or even pushing somebody toward >> her hair. She's the only one who said yes. The other two were there. They said they don't know. But that was we're talking about an incident that happened yesterday with them, right? We we need to focus on why we're here now. And I'm going to trust 23 years of patrol experience before I'm going to trust an 11-year-old, right? >> My mom is coming with my dad so I can collect my furniture as well. >> All right, Miss Coggins. As it stands right now, you are going to be under arrest. Do you want to leave the baby with your dad with the dad until the parents your parents get here? >> Yeah, I do not want him in custody >> because we can't wait an hour. So, here are your options. You're either going to have to leave the baby with dad until your parents get here. >> In the end, the woman is arrested and taken into custody, facing charges of battery causing bodily harm and four counts of secondderee child cruelty. If convicted, she could be looking at fines up to $6,000 and up to 3 years of probation. On July 24th, 2025 in Florida, what started as a simple traffic stop for missing license plates quickly spiraled out of control. Officers discovered the driver not only had a suspended license, but also an active warrant and a child in the car without proper safety restraints. >> Hello, I'm Officer Howard. Yes, please. Do you have your license, your registration, your insurance? >> Because we just barely took We're just barely trying to get this to get fixed. That's You're okay, baby. Don't worry. >> We're just trying to get it to so they could fix it. That's it. >> Don't worry, baby. You're not in trouble. Oh my god. >> No, you're you're okay. Do you know your social security number? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, you've been driving up and down La Hoya. >> We just barely We >> Listen, this is my third time seeing you drive up and down. No, you don't. Promise to God. >> I want you to I want you to be completely honest with me. Listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. We have cameras on La Hoya. You know how many times I picked up this Jeep today? >> Just from me parked out front of that fire station. Twice. >> This is the third. >> No, sir. >> It is. It is. I promised. from 6:00 this morning to now it's the third. >> You know what? Tell him. >> We actually know you. >> You know me. >> Oh, okay. Hold on. Hold on. Well, I need to make sure it's not stolen first. Okay. >> Stolen. I'm going to I'm going to pop open this door. Okay. >> Clear for a VIN. >> Okay. Okay, hang tight for me real quick. Okay. >> So, so we have a slew of issues right now. Okay. You're revoked and I'm pretty sure you know that >> I do not have a license cuz I got really sick and I never went for my driver's license back. I did. They did take it away from me about 15 years ago. I'm not going to lie. >> Okay. And uh I never what do you call it? >> What happened to license plate? Is that why you stopped me? >> Yeah, there's no there's there was no license plate on the vehicle. >> I didn't know that. I am No. No. >> Well, that's why I told you I needed to make sure it wasn't stolen. >> No, it's not stolen. I don't know what happened to you. >> So, you're revoked. You have a warrant out of magistrate court >> for shoplifting. Okay. I don't know. >> I went to court. >> Her denial wasn't just a lie. It was survival mode. As the officer listed off her violations, her sense of control cracked wide open, exposing a mind trapped between guilt and fear. Her attitude shifted fast from defensive to desperate. And through it all, the child sat unsecured in the back seat. >> I'm begging you, can you please just give me this chance to take her home? Please. >> How can I give you a break on five offenses? That's what I'm trying to get to. >> I'm not doing anything wrong, sir. I promise to God I'm not doing If you can just please let me take her back home. Please, Mr. O'Hara, I will. I promise to God I will never get behind this hill again. I promise to God you will never see me back there again. >> But you have today already several times. >> No, but I I promise to God I haven't. I don't know what other Jeep you've seen like this. >> This one? >> Well, I only came This is the first time he called me and I came. He wasn't there and I was on my way back. I promise to God. Listen, I know it was this Jeep. I'm not saying you were the one driving, but it was this Jeep. Does anyone else drive this Jeep? >> Exactly. This is the only white Jeep that has no license plate with this sticker in the corner cuz you passed me sitting in front of the fire station going towards Riverside. I'm not saying you went to Riverside, but you went towards Riverside and you accelerated when you passed me and I was going to pull you over earlier, but I decided not to. >> It was not me, sir. I promise. >> You just told me no one else drives this Jeep. >> I promise to go it was not me. Mr. We We have We have What did I just get? So, registration, insurance, revoked, warrant, and she's not in a She's not even She's not even in the back seat. She's in the front seat. >> I can't put her in the back seat. >> Why? >> Because there's a mirror back there. And I didn't want her to get hurt. >> Why isn't the mirror in the back? You can move the mirror. >> I can't move. You're putting her safety at risk back. I know. I'm so sorry, Mr. O'Hara. Please give me this much time to go home. You mean I beg you. going to be placed in handcuffs. You're not under arrest. You're detained until I can figure out what I'm going to do with her. Don't grab me. Okay. >> Okay. But please, can I at least tell her by >> You're not You're not leaving. You're not leaving. Let me tell her why we're not >> Stop resisting. Okay. >> You're not under arrest. You're just being detained. Okay. >> Why? >> Go ahead. What do you mean why? I just told you five reasons why. Take a seat on the curb. Okay. >> I don't want it to seem like this. >> Then sit on my bumper. The officer knew the kid's emotional safety came before any ticket or procedure. When the little girl recognized him as dad's friend, her fear melted for a brief moment. While the grandmother was told to sit down, that tiny spark of trust became the only calm in the chaos. >> It's okay, okay? We just we just we have to figure out where to put you in the car, okay? Because we can't have you in the front seat. >> Who's your dad? Is Are you >> I didn't even recognize you. >> I know. I know. Nobody Nobody's in trouble. Okay. >> She's in trouble again. >> Yeah, she's No, she's okay. >> What are you doing over here? >> You just lifted your shirt up. >> No, I was putting my shirt down. >> Your shirt was down. I know it's not. >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in a court of law. Before I question you any further or try and get a hold of anyone to come pick her up, are you okay with me talking to you? >> Okay. You don't have any means of calling anybody? You don't have a phone? Nothing? >> No. >> Does she have a phone? >> Yeah, but it doesn't work. >> Okay. This is who belongs to this truck. >> This is who? >> Yeah. No, I know who your dad is. Do you uh Does your Does that phone work to call people? >> Yes, but we don't have service. >> Oh, nuts. Okay. >> Yeah. Okay. Oh, they're not going through, sweetheart. >> See, it says not delivered. Here, hang on for me for one second. Okay, >> I need to borrow your phone. I don't have my phone on me. I got to call the 81. So, stay on the front of my bumper. Okay. >> When her son, the car's owner, was called and confirmed the violations, she knew the game was over. She tried to stay composed, spinning excuses and halftruths, clinging to whatever control she thought she had left. But her concern never turned toward the kids, only toward saving herself. Oh my god. >> I'm going to ask you one last time if you have anything on you. >> No, please. >> Then what were you doing with your shirt? >> I'm getting sick. >> What were you doing with your shirt? >> I'm getting sick. >> Okay, answer my questions. Okay. What were you doing with your shirt? >> Insulin and I take all kinds of medicine. I'm getting sick. Stop. >> You're not allowed to be checking me. >> Why not? >> Cuz you're a guy. You're not supposed to be touching me. >> Shut up. >> What? >> Oh no. You're hurting me. >> YOU'RE HURTING ME. GODAMN YOU. >> YOU'RE HURTING ME. >> Grab me like that. >> YOU'RE LETTING ME GRAB YOU. YOU'RE MAKING ME PEE MY BACK. STOP RESISTING ME. BRO, THIS 41'S RESISTING. >> OH, YOU'RE hurting me. >> Stop, please. >> Oh, you're hurting me. >> I don't have nothing. >> What' you throw? >> I don't have nothing. I got I >> Why did your attitude go from cool to >> Because I'm getting sick. I can't get split. >> That doesn't matter. You can't tell me I can't search you. Okay. You are in my custody. I can 100% search you. Okay. >> You made me myself. >> I didn't make you do anything. >> Yeah, you did. You grabbed me so hard. >> You grabbed my wrist. >> Video rape. >> No. He grabbed me so hard. He looked at me. >> He looked at me from where I was at. >> Yeah, because you grabbed my wrist. >> NO. HOW AM I GOING TO GRAB YOU? >> HE GRABBED MY HAND RIGHT HERE. >> How am I GOING TO GRAB YOU?
