thean I get that I get I get the emotional totally toally I get the emotional part okay um we need to specific on the physical I get itust we do it was just so your child is your child I got 12y old it's just so much I'm de with a lot of juveniles out on the street I and and and like I told her you're not built for it so what was your boiling point to end my boiling point was the fact that I told her keep your mouth shut and you're literally cursing me out when I say cursing me out I mean and I'm going to sit there my boy never and not rais boy you understand do you know how that feels do you know how I felt and I'm saying to myself me and my fiance been together for 30 years you know how embarrassed I feel do you know how embarrassed I feel to hear that from a child that you raised yeah I can't I don't I I don't want to send her back to New York because it wasn't you understand this is different and I want to be down here because the growing up I love Atlanta I just love down here so much the way the people treat me I just love it and I'm trying to give her a better way but she don't want it and I can't let her tell you the guy that you was that here he said to me you got to take care of you and if I send her back to New York I know I'm not going to sleep I don't know if you ever been to New York but her mama you can't tell your kids who to lay with but my his his baby mother Lord Jesus so when I send her back I'm sending her back to the Wolves right so that means that I'm not going to sleep I'm not going to be able to function too much because I don't know what's going to happen to my granddaughter that don't know what she's getting ready to get into but I got to show you and like I told her when I take you up there don't call my phone don't do nothing cuz I'm done I'm done so look I'm asking you a question okay sure and I I need a straight forward answer straight forward answer all right how did her eye become the way that it is I didn't to think to tell the truth I didn't see it cuz and the funny thing was when she went to sleep last night she had the bed she said I'm going sleep in the closet you sleep in the closet what are you sleeping in the closet for so this morning I got up for work look at her bed the door door so I see the bed where you at look in the open the closet you in the closet sleeping she got the comforter she got the uh the the sleeping bag and her pillow and why you like that I said but okay you want sleeping since you done slept in the in the um closet don't you think you want to get up and get in your bed no I don't want to I said well okay babe so I'm going say this okay okay it's obvious that she was hitting her eye okay see very obvious and it's it's not a pretty picture it's not no really okay cuz I'm I'm going to say it like this you can hit somebody the swelling does not happen right then and there it shows it shows the next day yes her eye is shut so I want to know honestly how did that happen because let's be clear I you got two people saying that y'all that that this happened so I want from your side exactly how did her eye end up like it is well like I said we was upstairs we was going back and forth felt and I had the um thing in my hand and she said something and I just like get away from me did you hit her in the face what no I just did like this was she standing you were sitting down she we were standing yeah we were standing and I was like no no get away from me stop get away from me okay when you did that what did she do then she said Grandma my you hit me in my eye and I look and I was like cuz again she lied so much what did her eye look like when you did that it didn't look fine it's fine yeah the swell is not going to happen right then and there a few hours right right you see I'm looking because I didn't know that it look like that I would never hit her like I saw her I hit you reprend you but I would never do nothing to discard you or anything like that because I've been do too much with you for us I'm to say I'm going to say like this it was noticeable this morning okay it's even more noticeable now okay sorry to cut you my Fe but I got to work I called my Fe but she's on this way coming up here too who my fiance he said when he I called him this morning I said well how was everything he said you went to school he said well no her eye it might be a problem so I said really so he said yeah I said well really which um if anything happens I have my paper trail I've been asking for the help you understand um I didn't mean to do to hit her and it to look the way that it looked so I'm going say this too since we on a sub no all right so what if I tell you that not only she stated that you punched an eye but your fiance did as well too well he coming up here I to hear him I I got him on camera I spoke to him I didn't punch her in the eye I did not and he said that he had to break you guys up yeah because that's how me and her was going back and forth and he had to come up and stop and for him to tell you this morning that her eyes is going to be a problem and he was right he says that it was caused by you in some type of way so I wanted to hear from your side exactly how that her eye end up like that I mean if you're saying that you just hit her with her Trey right I didn't I did not Punch or do anything no I did not I did not telling you the truth I love my grandchildren I love but I'm I'm going say this as well your granddaughter's eye is bad and look at me listen it's bad coming from a certified paramedic and another paramedic that I just spoke to I did not do anything to try to hurt I just want to Hur so if you're saying that you hit her with the train you're not sure if you hit her in the face or not at the end of the day we know for a fact that she was struck in the face so then what at what point I was point to so again at what point did you say that she said something about her eye um when I had walked away when I said away she was like Grandma you hit me in my eye and I said what was she holding her eye she was just standing cuz she was crying you understand all from prior was she bleeding any no did you see any scratches or anything no well it was dark upstairs in my house it's like a was like a dim type of light kind of I have a night light in there so was so you're strucking with an object in the eye cuz she yelled out that you hit her in the eye I struck her the object yeah like I said I did have this the tray in my hand it's like this it's wicker like a wooden wicker yeah something something it's pretty cute I don't know if it's the crowd the new crowd she saying going around I don't know I I don't know say like this what I'm I'm going say this okay she's 12 teenagers then compared to early 2019 you know 1990s not the same they're encouraged by social media and Etc the phones weren't in back then so now it's it's a little bit different but as adults one we have to learn to control ourselves and not let a child entice our anger even as teachers I'm pretty sure they get up to that point they be like you know what but then you you literally have to have some type of self-control and I can exactly you lost control I did and I'm not going to even sit here and I did because we just went through this last we just but it doesn't get to but it doesn't get listen it doesn't get to a point where you want to square up with a 12y old right right you what I'm saying you you um or dragging a 12-year-old down the stairs Montgomery Montgomery you're 100% right really let her that's why I said I have to take you understand get her back because I want you look at it in this way okay from my standpoint as a mother okay to another mother all right she's disrespectful she left the house when you didn't want her to she says things that she knows will tick you off and you let her tick you off to the point where you have to lay hands on her you drag her down the stairs I have to stop listen okay sorry to stop talking that's the problem because she was saying things that was pushing your buttons as if it was another adult that was doing it okay you let a 12-year-old push your buttons but as parents we have to learn self-control because just like you said you know for reaction there's a consequence but that also applies to adults it does I I I understand that because cuz if I showed you your baby's eye at the moment you ain't going to want to see it look at this that this is there there's there's there's noes around this it's not it's obvious that she was struck with something but it caused this you tell to pick up the knif oh we already got both sides they both the stories corroborated just fine she already told us her story about it so that's all we needed which is so I'm going go ahead and I'm going tell you this okay you tell to me pretty huh it's ain't going to be pretty what going to be rough all right I know it is but you going to be charged with two counts okay battery FBA and Cruelty to Children I'm going to jail social service will end up taking cussy with her for now I that's TR bit I tried bit I tried I tried you know I tried [ __ ] again I'm
