On June 22nd, 2022, Athens, Georgia police received a report from a healthcare facility about a disagreement between a married couple. Security staff observed that the wife had lost her composure in front of their one-year-old daughter. Officers quickly arrived and documented statements from the medical staff before approaching the couple. >> Got it. >> Hello. >> How are you? >> Good. How are you? So, we're kind of in a pickle here. Okay. >> Technically, I can't show you the video without a court order. >> Shut up. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Well, >> I'll let you see it cuz I know you need to. >> Let's not do that. I appreciate you being upfront about the whole court order thing. Let's not get anybody in trouble as far as showing me the video. What I will do, I'll go in there and I will speak to them.

Open hand. >> First time she walked by, it was a straight open hand to the side of the face. The next time she walked up and it was four or five, both hands. >> Okay. So, here here's what we'll do. Um, since we have witness testimony, you um that that will be enough to at least have if we need to go the route of obtaining that, then we will fill out the we'll f the search warrant. I have no need for now. Thank you. We'll we'll go that route. Um, but I appreciate you being willing to show me, but but let's not get anybody in trouble. Uh, especially with this being a family issue. It's definitely going to go to court and stuff. Would you mind giving me your name? >> It's all right. It's part of it. >> All right. Now, what is the child here for? >> Uh, cough and congestion. >> Okay. So, no signs of her doing that to the child kind of thing. >> No weird injuries. >> Cool. Cool. All right. How has her demeanor and behavior been other than hitting him? And did he react and hit her in this? >> Yeah. So, whenever she came in just with the baby and then he showed up maybe 30 minutes after they've been here for almost 4 hours. Okay. >> So, after they got into the room, then 30 40 minutes he came in. Whenever I was in there with the baby initially getting her swabs and stuff done, mom was very appropriate, calm, smiling conversation with me, >> very helpful with swabbing the baby. >> And then the only interaction I've had since then was going in to recheck the overall temperature and things seemed very tense between the two of them. That was after we knew all of or saw all >> So you've also viewed the footage. >> Yeah. Okay. My nurse who was out. So, we have cameras like this out where we sat and she saw it and she like me on the arm and was like, "Oh my god." And so I came back here to watch it. >> Are these audio and video? >> Just video. And you could get the footage for me. >> Oh yeah. >> Okay, cool. >> That wouldn't be an issue at all. >> Okay. I've seen her mood is very roller coaster like after the first she was smiling like it was a joke >> after the five minutes or so she was like gritting her teeth and seemed very agitated. >> Do we have the ability to get her information right now so that I can have it before we go in there or before I go in there? And she stay acted like she was mad for a good 30 45 minutes >> and then it went back to smiling and then it would go back to the roller coaster. He's smiling for five minutes pissed off smiling. >> When she wasing him the child was in the room >> just like she or he is now. >> Yeah. Just sitting right on the bed. >> Mom's back was turned to the kid while she was. So technically no one was watching her at the time. >> All right. Well, I'm going to go talk to him. See what's going on in there. If she gets combative in there, I'm gonna have another person come over here. Which door is easier for them to access me >> and I can call and let just to let them in. Okay. >> So that way there's no issue. >> That's perfect.

So, husband, ex-husbandish. >> Okay. Um shows you him in the head five times. Um with an open hand. What What's going on in there? >> Um well, a lot. Um we're going through a divorce. Um he's talking to other girls. Um a lot. >> What caused you to to hit him tonight? I just saw the girls was calling him. >> Okay. You just saw something on his phone. You got upset about it. >> All right. How's your child doing? I know they said that she's just here for some coughing stuff. >> Yeah, she's good. >> Is she okay? Yes. >> Okay. All right. That's really important. Um, so I'll have to I'm I'm going to speak to him really quick and just talk to him. If you'll just stand here and talk to this officer really quick while I do that. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> The father also shared his perspective. Although he did not wish to press charges because a child was involved, police were required to act according to George's family safety regulations. >> Hey, man. Hey, what's your name, sir? Uh, Cody, is your last name the same? >> Yes. >> Okay. Cody, what's going on, man? We got a phone call that was pretty concerning about her her on you in here. >> She she saw some some other girl on your phone. She got upset about it. >> All right, man. Um, is this the first time that that she's she's done something like that? Is this a recoccurring thing? We're going through a divorce. >> I got you. That's what she told me. >> Let me Let me get some of your information really quick. You have a really pretty baby, by the way. Hope she's feeling a little bit better. >> Be able to go home. >> Is your name with a C or a K. >> I got you. Here's what's going to have to happen. Right. So, in the state of Georgia, family violence are very clear. Right. She put hands whether or not you want her to get in trouble for it. She put hands on you in an aggressive manner and she did it in front of your child in a public setting to where other people have it videoed. Even if you don't want to press charges, she is going to she's going to be placed under arrest for simple simple battery family. Okay, I know this seems like a very minuscule thing for her to be arrested for. It's a really big deal. Okay, she did it here in the hospital. She did it in front of your child. It's you know like Halloween. >> I got you. And that's why I was explaining the it's so here's here's why the state of Georgia went ahead and put this into effect several several years ago that if we have a family relationship and we have evidence of things getting physical of a crime then we make that arrest because say it was reversed say you're in her on her she says I don't want to press charges I don't press charges worst case scenario y'all go home things get worse and it could be that way with you as well >> if she keeps saying things on your phone like that but we don't live together nothing like that >> I understand that but due to the that y'all technically right now are married. Even though you're going through the divorce, you do have a child together. Those two right there and you've lived together. I mean, that's three family that's three three family relationships right there off the bat. >> When can she get out? >> And she's going to go with me uh tonight. Um and then first thing in the morning, she's going to either sit in front of a judge or teleconference a judge. They're going to talk about the fact that y'all have a kid together. They're going to talk about not putting hands on each other. I mean, I know this might sound elementary, but these are things that that they are going to sit down and talk to to her about. What they're going to do is they're going to call you on the phone. They're going to say, "Hey, we're meeting with her. Here's what's going on. You need to make sure that you were able to answer your phone between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12. So, just that 4 hour block is roughly when she's going to see a judge. Okay? So, the judge is going to call you. She can't be released until he makes contact. He or she makes contact with you." Okay? So, that's why I'm putting the emphasis on make sure you got your phone. >> Is she going to bail or like >> No. So, so, so she's, so she will sit in there until she sees the judge and then she'll be released. Okay. It's not like I'm going to drop her off and an hour later she can get out. She has to see the judge for a family crime. Okay. Now, when she was you open hand, closed hand. >> Oh, I just >> Okay. >> Per the video, they were telling me that it seemed like open hand from the video and so I just wanted to run it past you. Does that seem like something that probably happened? >> It wasn't a punch. >> Okay. Were was she saying anything while she was you or is it she was just reacting to something she saw and and she overreacted and so stuff happens. This isn't going to be the end of the world. It's not like she's going to be a convicted felon or something crazy, right? But this this is something that we cannot allow to continue especially when we it's it's in a public area where people can see it, right? Especially in front of your child. I mean >> I mean you got to put her in handcuffs. >> Yeah, she's going to have to go in handcuffs right now. I mean that's she's under arrest. So So she's going to have to go in handcuffs. Here's what uh I would like to do. Um, so obviously your your dad, okay, do you all have any current custody issues? I >> mean, she gets them through the week and then I get one night through the week. >> Okay. But nothing like you can't be alone with the child, stuff like that. Okay. >> The other daughter's with her mom. >> I mean, I might have to go to her car and get the car seat out cuz I don't have mine. >> So the the car is going to stay here. So if she's fine with the key staying with you, cool. I mean, she can't take her car with her. You know what I mean? Did y'all ride together? >> No. >> Okay. So her car will just stay here then. Okay. Um, you can make the decision of however you want to do the car situation, but the car will stay here and then y'all can come get it tomorrow or her and someone else, whatever, can come get it tomorrow. Okay. Look, man, I I know this is a crappy situation, especially when y'all are just worried about your kid, but you kind of understand a little bit more now. >> I understand her first birthday and all. >> I know. I I hate it. But it I guess the the only good part about it is is hopefully since she's only one, she ain't ever going to remember any any bit of this. I'm not going to put your uh wife ex-wife thing uh in handcuffs in front of her because she has child. We we just don't do that. Um unless we absolutely have to. So, now that I have explained kind of all that to you, what I'm going to do is is we're going to we're going to get her situated. My partner is also outside. Um >> I mean, >> not yet. I I I wanted to come in and speak with you so that I could calmly explain to you what's going on before I had to break the bad news to her. But what we're going to do is I'm going to get this process started with her and then I'm going to have my partner bring in some paperwork. Okay? Okay, it's going to be the case number for this and it's going to be a pamphlet. We have to give it to you even if you don't want it. It's a family pamphlet. We just have to hand it over. You can throw it in the trash later if you want to. Um but that's going to happen as well. So, I know this is crap, man. But it's just where we're at. Um do you happen to know her birthday? Like day, month, and year. Okay. Well, again, I do apologize if the situation happened to you guys. Um but it it's just it's just how things work, man. Hopefully I'll never run into a situation like this again, but that's just kind of where we're at. Um, like I said, he's going to bring you in the paperwork. So, if you have any questions, hopefully the paperwork will answer it or he can answer any more questions that you might have here in just a minute. We're going to try to make this as calm as a process as possible. Okay? I don't want her to be embarrassed out here in front of all them. So, if she's willing to be calm, we will walk out front before we put handcuffs on. If she's not willing to be calm, then we'll just have to put her in handcuffs here. Does that make sense? All right. Again, sorry, man. I hate these situations. The mother was informed of her [music] legal responsibilities. All procedures were carried out carefully to avoid distressing the child while helping her understand the consequences [music] of letting emotions take over. >> Okay, Miss Taylor. >> Yes. >> So, speaking with Cody, um, obviously he was just going further into what happened in the room. >> So, we're going to try and do this as calm as possible. We're going to try We're not going to do anything in front of your son, >> daughter. >> Daughter. Sorry. Um, we're not going to do anything in front of your daughter, but what I would like for you to do is if you could grab your purse, you're going to have to come with us. Okay. Okay, >> we'll go in here. We'll just grab your purse really quick. You'll get whatever you need. If you need to leave him your car key so he can get a car seat for when your son's ready to go. >> I got a car seat. >> What? >> What? >> Call my dad. >> I will >> call my and tell her to make some dinner now. Because no one had fire. >> All right. So, we'll just go ahead and get outside. I'm not going to You're being cooperative. I'm not going to put your handcuffs in here. >> I'll explain more as to why this has to happen when we get outside. Okay. >> Okay. It's been her birthday's tomorrow. >> That's what he was telling me. >> Um it's been a rough year. So, my car is over this way. >> Okay. >> Um, I'm going to just go into more explanation for you right now. So, obviously, your husband, ex-husband did not want to press any type of charges against you, okay? But in the state of Georgia, it's not up to the victim anymore. If we have probable cause that a crime committed, then we will make an arrest on behalf of the state. This isn't going to ruin your life. It's not the end of the world, but first thing in the morning, you're going to see a judge either in person or over teleconference. He's going to talk to you about some stuff. He or she's going to talk to you. That judge is also going to call him. They're going to have a conversation over the phone, and then they're going to just go over some stipulations with you and try to make sure this doesn't happen anymore. Okay. >> Okay. >> If you'll just set your purse right here for me. I'm just going to put it in the front of my car. Okay. >> Okay. >> Um, do you have any pockets on you? >> I'm just going to quickly pat you down really quick. >> Okay. All right. And uh if you'll just go and put your hands behind your back, palms together. I'm gonna make sure it doesn't. So we'll turn you this way. There you go. Sorry. Okay. Is there anything in your purse that your child is going to need or did you get everything out? Yes. >> All right. So when what I want you to do is is sit your butt down first when you get in and push your just use the door to push yourself back. Don't try to put your feet in there. >> And leave your feet up on the seat. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I'm sorry. >> So you can put your feet up on the seat. Don't try to put your feet down there cuz it'll cut the top of your feet since you're wearing sandals. >> I'm a nervous ray. >> It's okay. >> Don't be nervous. It's okay. >> Like I said, this isn't the end of the world. It's not going to mess up anything with your children. >> Yeah. You have to stay till the morning cuz you have to see a judge first. Okay. That being family stuff, you got to see a judge. I promise you'll be fine. Do you have any questions right now? Anything I can explain? >> I've been in trouble with the law and my baby's birthday's tomorrow. >> You'll you'll be out for your baby's birthday. I promise. Okay. Um, I am just going to poke through your purse really quick to make sure you don't have any or in there, but I'm not going to get invasive or anything. Okay. All right. >> Did you watch the video already? >> Um, the mother was charged with simple battery, [music] family violence, and to children, third degree. Under Georgia law, she could face up to two years in [music] prison and a $6,000 fine. Family disagreements should be addressed with understanding and guidance, not through conflict. Only then can children grow up in a safe [music] and supportive environment. This boy traveled 2 miles on his small scooter trying to find a safe place for himself. >> If we drive to the apartments, would you be able to tell which building is yours? >> Okay. >> Yours has a scarecrow in front. >> Okay. >> On September 27th, 2021, a woman walking her dog discovered a young boy alone by the roadside. He explained that he was trying to get to his grandmother's house in St. Augustine because no one was home with him. Concerned for his safety, the woman immediately called 911. Minutes later, Palm Coast police arrived, took the witness's statement, and quickly ensured the child's well-being. >> Good morning. >> Good morning, >> Deputy Win County Sheriff's Office.

He doesn't have cuz I had personally seen him since we were coming this direction and he was in the other direction." And so he says, "I'm afraid because you know he's all by himself." And I said, and I'm looking. Yeah, it's a little tiny boy. You know, he's all barefooted. And so I stopped and I asked him, you know, what are you doing?

And what if somebody took him or he got ran over by a vehicle? >> I know. >> What if he got home before we even found him and nobody else saw him and then we have a missing child? >> Do you know how he was reported to us?

So, I have the lady who called us. She let him use her jacket. I have his scooter in the back of my car as well. He's trying to ride all the way up to his grandma's house cuz that's where he wants to be. Hey, would you mind going upstairs with Deputy Lane real quick? I have a few questions for you right now. My name is Deputy Win number 875. I have questions pertaining to child collect. These are your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used as evidence against you. These rights of mine, are you willing to talk to me? probably. >> Yes. No. Yes. >> Talk to you. >> Okay. When When did you leave for the airport, ma'am? >> 3:20 a.m. >> Miranda, bro. >> Who are you taking to the airport? >> My boyfriend. >> Does a boyfriend stay here? >> Not with me. >> Okay. >> He has a house. >> Do you normally leave leave here alone? >> No, never. >> Okay. So, here's the thing. While you were gone, A went around the house, saw that there was nobody, and he got scared. He wanted to go to grandma's house, which is in St. Augustine. He then took his scooter out and rode his electric scooter for 2 mi in 65 66°ree weather next to one barefooted next to one of the busiest streets in Palm Coast. And then he was found because he was huddled up on top of his bike by a pedestrian in front of a fire station. At this time, ma'am, I'm placing you under arrest for child. If you could please turn around, place your hands behind your back. >> I'm going to take your I'll just set this back in your apartment somewhere. They're not going to let you take it back. >> The mother was charged with child without serious thirdderee offense. Under Florida law, the maximum penalty is 5 years in prison or probation plus a $5,000 fine. Temporarily, the child was placed in the care of his grandmother while the Department of Children and Families continues reviewing the case. The child's loneliness and anxiety reflect the consequences of a lack of family attention. This serves as a reminder that children need love, care, and a sense of safety far more than anything material. Do you think a small driving mistake is inconsequential? See what happens when the law, parental responsibility, and child safety all intersect in the same Jeep. >> 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? >> On July 24th, 2025, an officer spotted a white Jeep without a license plate. At first, it seemed like a simple situation, but when the driver could not provide a valid license, registration, or insurance, the case quickly became serious. >> Hello, I'm Officer Howard. Yes, ma'am. 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. >> We're okay, baby. Don't worry.

The driver had a suspended license for several years and did not follow child safety regulations by allowing the child to sit in the front seat instead of the back. Police had to take careful measures to ensure the child's well-being. >> Okay, Melissa, can you come back here and talk to me real quick? >> Do you have a phone? >> 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.

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.

The mother faced charges including aggravated resisting an officer, child use, motor vehicle theft, driving on a revoked license, possession of a controlled substance, moving traffic violations, no seat belt, child restraint violation, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and registration without insurance. Even minor driving mistakes can become serious when combined with insufficient supervision. Children must be protected first, and that responsibility lies with adults.

We're going to come right over here. >> We're going to sit in the car here. >> Okay, thank you. [music] assessments in accordance with routine procedures. >> Okay. I I would like to just cuz I have suspicion that you are under the influence. I think I heard earlier that you were using some stuff. Just saying just because you use that stuff that you are, but I I want to make sure that you're safe to operate a motor vehicle. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. So, what we're going to do to do those tests, I have to take you out of handcuffs. I know you already kind of had the driving bizarre kind of traffic stop kind of conduct here today. You're not going to try to run or flee or hide or fight if we take handcuffs off you, are you? No. Okay. All right. All right. We're going to go ahead and take the cream off you and we're going to go ahead and uh kind of do what we got to do. Okay. Parker, you want her area there? >> Your name is Alicia. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Go ahead and step out for me. >> Can you open your mouth, stick out your tongue for me? I know you got something on your lip. Can you open your mouth? Stick out your tongue. Stick it all the way out like that. Uh stick out your tongue. Uh okay. All right. So, we're going to take you out of handcuffs. Okay. While we do that, just ask you don't hide by anything like that. Okay. Better not be good, >> right? >> All right. >> Yeah. Just do extra hand. >> Do you have any medical issues that I need to be aware of? Any injuries to your body? Anything like that? >> Not that you need to be aware of, sir. >> Okay. Go ahead and put that hand on top of your head for me. >> I know the ambulance checked you out. Can you tell me a little bit about your physical condition? Do you feel okay? Do you have vision in both eyes? Can you see and everything like that? >> Right now, I can. Yes, sir. >> Okay. We're going to go over here to these lines. >> I'm a little >> Yeah, I I figured. Yeah. All right. We're going to go right over here to these lines. I know this is a parking lot, so there may be some stuff in the parking lot. You going to stand right on that line right there? All right. So, the first test I'm going to administer is an eye test. Okay. Do you have vision in both of your eyes? >> Yes. >> Do you wear prescription glasses or contacts? >> Okay. So, I'm going to move my finger from side to side. While I do that, I want you to focus right here on the tip of my finger. And then don't move your head. Just follow with your eyes. Does the first test make sense? >> I can remember what to say. >> Sure. I'm going to move my Yeah, it's okay. I'm going to move my finger from side to side. And I want you just to follow the tip of my finger. Does that make sense? Does that make sense? >> I think you might be answering. >> I'm sorry. I was just overthinking. >> That's okay. Do you do you understand though what I'm saying? >> Yes, I can understand the words you're saying, but I can't concentrate right now. >> Sure. I understand. There's probably a lot of stuff going through your mind. If you can help me out and just verbalize those things outside just so I can hear you. Okay. All right. Just focus right here and follow my finger. >> I'm sorry. I still just can't concentrate. Give me just a second. >> Sure. Absolutely. >> Good. Yes. No. All right. Okay. All right. Cool. I just can't read your mind. So, here. Right here. And follow my finger. Don't move your head. Just follow my finger. Don't move your head. Just your eyes. Keep going. Almost done. Keep your head just right here. Just follow your finger. >> Don't move your head. Just try right here. Focus right here. Follow my finger. Follow my finger. >> I'm sorry. I just can't concentrate. I'm sorry. >> Okay. >> I can't concentrate when I have your question. >> Okay. All right. This is just an eye test. Okay. So, just follow my finger. Just follow me. No. No. Hold it out here. Just keep following it. Keep following my finger. Keep following it. the other way. Don't move. Just your eyes. Just your eyes. One more time. Follow this one. Just your eyes. >> I'm sorry. Can I have a moment? >> Yeah. I'm just >> Yeah. Tell me. Further checks were carried out promptly under the officer's professional and respectful [music] guidance. Okay, cool. All right, so the next test is a walking and a balancing test. Do you have anything that affects your ability to walk or balance? >> Nothing that affects me, but I'm kind of like off center right now, honestly. >> Okay. Just spiritually speaking, or just kind of like uh just off center just like >> completely. >> Okay. Okay. Um so we're going to use this straight line for this test. Okay. What I'm have you do is I'm going to get you into a position. I want you to stand in that position and then don't do anything until I tell you to begin. Does that make sense so far? >> I'm sorry. Um, can you repeat that for me? >> Absolutely. Yeah. So, I'm going to have you stand in a position and I want you to stay in that position. Does that make sense? >> Yes. >> No. >> I'm sorry. >> Okay. So, I want to have you stand like this. Put your left foot on the line. Go ahead and do that right now. Left foot. Yep. Left foot. left foot. That's your right. Could you put your left foot on the line? There you go. Now, stand with your right foot touching heel to toe in front of your left. Stop right there and then put your arms down to your side. Watch me as I explain and demonstrate the test. You understand so far? >> Could you repeat that? I >> Yeah. Just watch me as I do as I show you how to do the test. So, watch me as I do it. You got me? I'm sorry. >> Can you watch me while I do the test? >> Okay. So, just watch me. Stand as you are. Okay. So, put your left foot on the line. >> Go ahead. >> Can I have just a second? >> No. We're We're We're kind of done with the seconds here. Okay. I'm asking you to perform the test. So, put your left foot on the line. Take your right foot and heel to toe in front of your left. Stand just like that. And watch me as I explain the test. Okay. All right. So, when I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps on the line. You're going to do a turn and you're going to do nine heel to toe steps back. It'll look just like this. Count out loud. 1 2 3 up to nine. On your ninth step, keep your front foot on the line. Take a series of steps like me. Turn around. Count out loud. 1 2 3 all the way up to nine. Look at your feet. Count each step out loud. Keep your arms down at your sides. And then don't stop the test until you've completed the test. Do you understand the test that I've explained and demonstrated? >> Uh, again, I couldn't focus. >> Okay. Like I said before, it's your right foot's going to be in front of your left. You're going to take nine heel to toe steps on the line. You're going to do a turn and then like I just showed you and then nine heel to toe steps back on the line. Do you understand the test? >> I'm sorry. I just for I just forget stuff when I get under pressure. >> Sure, that makes sense. So just nine heel the toe steps on the line and then do the turn and then nine hill toe steps back. Go ahead and begin. She was then taken to the station to complete legal procedures. There's something to obviously I think we all need a copy of all this stuff. >> Yeah.
