Have a good one. Okay. Thank you. >> Later, officers arrested Savannah. She was charged with child abuse. Investigators say the daycare's owner was alerted after staff raised concerns about a teacher's conduct during class. While Keys told investigators she did not intend to harm the child and no injuries were reported. Authorities determined the behavior warranted criminal charges. The authorities later confirm that Savannah is charged with child abuse and the case is referred to the court system while oversight agencies continue their review. Remember workplace conduct involving children is subject to strict oversight and surveillance footage can play a key role in investigations. Even in the absence of reported injuries, [music] actions perceived as excessive can result in criminal charges. This is the reaction of netizens to this situation. The video evidence clearly made the difference here. Daycares have to act quickly when something like this happens. It's tough to see situations escalate like that. The tension is already high, or so it seems. What the body cam captures next saves a life pause and comment what you do here. >> I hope it been bad. I'll mess you up.

My husband is still um he's in there for two more months. Who has your kids? Me. >> The resident explains he was in his kitchen when he saw someone trying to open his door. He states she moved to a sliding glass door, broke a window, and entered. He retreated to his bedroom, locked the door, and exited through a window to get help. >> What's your husband's name? >> Right now, I do. >> What's your husband's name? His name is um Zachary. >> Are those your clothes in there? >> Yes, sir. That's right. >> That's your your blue jeans or your shorts?

And one of these days, she's probably going to get >> Hello. Hey, who do we have going on? Good question. Sounds like there was an altercation by the person that fled in that black Honda. She fled northbound. I don't know who she was involved with over here. If it was the staff member at the gas station or another >> This is her car. That's where she hit that hit this lady with this with her car and then that broke that off. So, she did get hit pretty good. >> So, this lady's the one who got hit >> by this person. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> This gentleman and then uh the folks over there are going to have a better idea. >> Well, they also got video. >> They also got video. >> And then she pulls up.

The employee insists action should be taken and expresses concern about escalating behavior. >> I was like a Yeah, we've been having problems on Facebook for the past week. She wakes up thinking about I can't tell if she wants to fight or honestly and I'm telling her like I ain't gonna have. >> So she came here first starting prom first. Not only that though weeks ago she she was posting pictures of me when I was a child because I did send to my boyfriend at the time and my boyfriend's girlfriend sent them to her and she's posting pictures and you guys never did anything about it and I said I want to press charges on her and then the still shows up on my job. So something needs to be done about this cuz she thinks she could do whatever she wants to get away with it. And it's not okay. And one of these days she's more than going to her and the only reason I didn't do it is cuz I have three kids and I'm on the clock. If I wasn't and this was a social study I would have her up. >> Okay. Well, I'm glad you didn't cuz you might have been going to jail >> and and I don't care. I got behind money.

This way you guys could speak to him real quick. I thought I had his phone number and I do not. I thought I did too, but they've lost the black mouth. I only have the pink one.

I literally just walked up to get a drink." She started recording me screaming, so I did the same. There was an old man in line behind me and he started screaming as well. She was just telling them to like go in front of me so that she could like ring them up and everything. I just like walked out, went back to my car, turned it on, and then the old man, well, I told the old man, I was like, "Give us cigarettes." I was like, "Go smoke your cigarettes. Like, just calm down." He got even more mad and started yelling in my face. So, I went to my car and he was parked on the right side of me. He got in his car and then a gray car pulled up to the left left side of me. There was a man. >> Aliyah states that individuals surrounded her car, struck her vehicle, and blocked her in.
