I need those on the entire time. >> The mother was then escorted to the station for further procedures with officers offering reassurance to ease the tension for both her and the child. >> What? >> I can't. >> You can't. Actually, you can just >> I promise I can't. I'm not getting in trouble. Drive a little slower. >> We can go. >> We got to at least get on the property so we can we got to call a T.

Her bond was set at $6,500. Unsafe driving puts both children and the community at risk. It's a reminder of awareness, responsibility, and the boundary between emotion and safety. Also in Florida, a father lost to his son in a video game. And what happened next turned a simple family moment into a serious conversation about parenting. >> If you don't intend to in children, you can physically crush them. >> You intended to strike him though, didn't you? >> That doesn't mean I intended to injure him, does it? >> Yeah, that's still you. On December 26th, 2022, police received a call reporting a family dispute between a father and his son. What began as a playful game escalated after the father lost, prompting officers to step in and listen to both sides of the story. >> So, how you doing, ma'am? I'm Martine Police Department. Who can be the issue today? So, um, he was just, we were just playing a video game and I beat him and then so he started playing again against some a CPU and then he lost and he got mad cuz I I don't remember what it was. My brother had said something and then he started him and stuff and him >> started your brother. >> Yeah. And like him and then um, >> how old is your brother? >> N 10. Yeah. And then um, >> where's your brother now? >> He's in the house still. And then he then he said, "You're next." And then I put him away and I got to the door and I ran. >> Yeah, >> there's a video. Video of what? Him your brother. >> I think so. I tried to get >> at the end. >> Are you not? >> Are you Are you going to handle it? I see [laughter] it first. >> Oh, not first. >> Is your brother at the house now? >> Yeah. >> Where where's this address at? >> Police. >> Hey, so this is what I want you to do. Go follow me to the address, but stay a couple houses down. Okay. >> When officers arrived, they entered the home and spoke with the father who calmly said he hadn't done anything wrong. >> How you doing? Do you step by the house? >> All right. What's going on today? Um, >> what are you doing? Your son is with mom right now. Show a video. >> A video? >> Yes. >> I doubt that. >> It's on video. >> Okay. >> Fine. Yeah, he's fine. I saw the whole thing. He's fine. >> Okay. >> Hey, buddy. What's your name? >> Yes. >> All right. You all right, buddy? >> Yeah. Huh? >> You sure? >> Yeah. Okay, just look up for me, buddy. >> Okay. What were your dad doing? You and dad doing >> um he was trying to discomfort me >> because he isn't. >> No, he's not. >> So in the face because you lost a video game. >> That has nothing to do with what happened. That is his mom manipulating the situation. I saw the video. >> You saw the video. It's because he lost a video game. He wasn't even playing a video game calling in the face for not being an ass. Okay. Uh, if I want to raise my kids, I want to raise them. If I don't them, what does the Florida law say? It's capital. >> No, that is not true. Are you injured? Read your law. >> The discussion soon shifted to parental authority and the fine line between guidance and [music] excessive control. A topic that still sparks debate today. >> Well, sir, I'm going to explain something. Okay. This has an extent and based on the video based on the video that we saw on my side. >> Okay. Who else is here? >> Who else is here? >> Yes, sir. >> Well, clearly me, my daughter. >> Okay. >> And my son. >> It's nobody else. >> There's nobody else here. >> No. >> Okay. Where's your other son? >> Uh, he left. >> Okay. Is there a reason why you haven't called us to report him missing? >> Because he told me he was going to his mom. >> Okay. Where does his mom >> and he's a teenager? If he wants to leave and go to his mom's during a marital dispute, what do you want me to do about that? I can't do anything about that. I'm aware of that. My lawyer I've contacted my lawyer since he left. He said you have to let him go. >> So you have no parental rights in control of your son. You have to let him walk out the door. >> I have to. Yes. According to family court law, >> I don't know what >> you guys aren't involved in that. I know that. >> Okay. I don't know what lawyer you have. >> But you guys aren't in law to step into custodial issues. >> If your child leaves in the middle of the night and it's 45° out, you don't know how long he's been gone for. >> He's 14 years old. >> What legally makes him an adult, sir? >> Uh, really? >> Yes. Because if any of my children decide they want to go to their mother, I've already been through this three times already with your same police department. >> Did you call your wife and make arrangements for her to >> do I need to? >> Do you need to? >> Yes. >> Where does your wife live? >> What is your right and family? >> You don't be barefoot by now, right? >> The father explained that his actions were meant as discipline, but Florida law states that even with good intentions, certain behaviors toward minors may raise child welfare concerns. >> What do you want me? I cannot physically. If I would have physically controlled him, do you stay here? You guys would be arrested. >> No, because you No, you would have. That's illegal restraint of a minor. >> You're his parent. That is for >> We don't We have a marital agreement yet. We're still in court. I called my lawyer. He said you cannot physically restrain him. So, what happened between you and your younger son? >> He leaves all the time. >> Your younger son? >> What's What's up? >> You just disreg? >> Yeah. Does he have music? >> No. His ear is pretty red from when him in the side of the head. >> His ear is red cuz it's cold. >> Yeah. >> Are you guys serious right now? Look like we're playing. >> I did not intend to injure any child that I've ever had. >> The video indicated. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> The the video indicated what? >> I have kids and I will you discipline them like like you said, there's a certain extent when it comes to corporal. Okay. >> No. No. There's no such thing as law. >> You know what? Give me a fair. No. No. For what? For what? >> For what? For what? What's your reasonable suspicion? You guys have to answer me that question. Are you guys >> What's your reasonable suspicion if you pay me? >> Stop the >> Stop resisting. Really? Are you kidding me? This is what I'm doing. What are you doing to pay me right now? Because what? I my kids under the law. Are you kidding me? As long as I don't intend to injure my children in my punishment, that is my right. >> Also, there's the fact that you're intoxicated and you're dealing intoxicated. >> Yeah, I can smell the alcohol coming from [laughter] >> You can laugh while you want, sir. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah, my their mom is perfect. >> The officers continued their conversation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the difference between setting boundaries and crossing legal limits. >> I did nothing wrong under Florida law. >> Okay. Well, you and I obviously have a different interpretation of how you deal with your kids, okay? And you >> Well, that's what Florida law allows. >> You guys absolutely not, sir. >> You guys don't get if you don't intend to your children, you can physically them. >> You intended to strike him, though, didn't you? >> That doesn't mean I intended to injure him, does it? >> Yeah, that's still without understanding. >> No, you're not. You don't understand Florida law. I've known me for 2 years under my lawyer's advisement. But you guys know better than my lawyer, right? And you guys know the law better, >> correct? You talk to your lawyer. >> Okay. Yep. You guys are perfectly perfect always. Police. >> Me up your It's Christmas. >> Yeah. Oh, you because you don't dis because you disagree with how I my children. That's what you guys both have told me. You disagree. Not that the state of Florida does. >> No, that's fine. >> Right. Am I incorrect? You can disagree with the state of Florida all you want. You arresting me is completely unlawful. Police completed their report, notified the mother, and ensured the children were safe. >> No, I understand. >> Cuz he's a good I just need him to stop drinking. He can't do this. >> No, I I understand. And like I said, I have a son myself, and that's that's hard to watch that video as well. You know, there's a difference that, you know, there's a there's a line that you can cross and it was, you know, definitely cross. >> Three two and a half years ago, we got into a fight and um they arrested me because um he said that I hit him and the dog actually bit him. Um, so, um, no charges were filed, but I was the one that was taken in custody and then I never came back to the house and, um, it's been, this is what he does when he drinks. >> Where'd you get your head, buddy? >> It's a little >> Okay. How did that happen? >> When he and I had to >> That's when you were leaving. >> That's when I I got him off. He landed on top of my head. >> So, what was the point of him you just because he was mad and then that's when you tried to leave or was he trying to prevent you from leaving? >> I wasn't going to leave until he started. cuz he was going to me. Are you sore? Can you look real quick? Does anything your head body anything? Can I come on you look when daddy was? >> Oh my god. >> Got a little red there. >> Yeah, I know. >> All right, buddy. >> Let me see the other side of your head again cuz my ear was really red right there and like purple. >> All right, buddy. You can sit in the car. Okay. >> So, you have no as you said. >> No. Do you want me to call the AMS to check on you? >> No, my son doesn't either. My wife has called y'all seven times. This is the first time I've been put in cuffs. >> The father faced charges of battery, child, child, and resisting arrest [music] without violence. Under Florida law, he could face up to 12 years in prison and $12,000 in fines. There's a very thin line between guidance and overstepping. Understanding that line and maintaining [music] self-control and emotional awareness is essential for every parent who wants to raise their child with love, patience, and respect. No one expected that a teacher, someone meant to be in a classroom guiding students with knowledge and trust, would one day find herself in a moment that tested both her responsibility and her composure. >> Whoa. Whoa. >> Stop. >> Put it in park. On September 26th, 2024, a passer by noticed a car left running with its brake lights on. Inside was a woman who appeared unresponsive. They quickly called the police. When officers arrived, they discovered that the woman was a teacher and her three young children were at home by themselves. >> Ma'am, she's alert.

One, two, nine heel to toe steps all the way back to your starting position. Okay. >> Mhm. >> Did you understand all that? >> Nine steps. Yeah, sure. >> All right. So, listen.

No. >> Why not? >> Unfortunately. >> Why not? >> Um cuz I arrested you for driving while intoxicated. The teacher was initially charged with driving while intoxicated and later refused [music] a breath test, resulting in additional administrative violations. She was released on bail shortly afterward, but the case remains pending due to her failure to appear in court. Whether a teacher, a parent, or anyone else, we are all human. When we forget to take care of ourselves, we risk losing the very things that matter most in life. The stories today remind us that the law isn't just a set of rigid rules. It's a shield meant to protect people, especially children. From the mother who made a risky decision behind the wheel to the father who lost his composure and the teacher who lost focus, every action has consequences, sometimes reaching far beyond what we expect.
