I just talked to him. >> Okay. >> Why Why would he think that you're mad at him? >> He always thinks that, but he don't understand when he has attitude and he has to calm down. >> He has to do that. I have other kids that don't need to be around that because he gets mad and try to take his anger out on everybody. >> Yeah. >> And that's not cool. >> I'm not accusing you of anything, but why'd you leave him here? >> Just to let him cool off. >> Let him cool off. And how long were you planning on letting him pull off for? >> Uh, it was not even 10, 15 minutes. >> Okay. >> Before I doubled back. >> Where did you see him go to, walk to, all that stuff? >> I seen the lady talking to him once he walked back down this way and stood over at the corner where he got out the car at. >> Yeah. >> I seen the lady talking to him and she took him inside.

But >> if you need me, I'll I'll roll down the window, okay? So, you can hear me. >> So, I was at work on a normal night. I was standing at the register. A little boy came up and he stood two registers down. So I asked him if there's anything I can help him with. I mean, not the first time a kid comes in alone. He asked me if I had the phone, if I had a phone he could use. So I let him use the store phone. I asked him if he needed to make a call and he said yeah. So I just handed him the store phone. He made a call. He was on the phone in front of my register. So amongst hearing his conversation, I realized what was going on. >> Who was he talking to? >> Well, he was talking to the sheriff's office. He called 911, but I thought maybe he was on the phone with a family member. I mean, he was talking about who dropped him off >> and that he needed to be picked up. So, I thought maybe he called like a family member like someone was supposed to be meeting him here or something. And then he was like, "She got mad at me. I put my phone on the charger and I left." So, I asked him, I said, "Uh, so did or leave you here?" And he goes, "Yeah, she got mad at me, left." He said, "Are you on the phone with the sheriff's department?" And he goes, "Yeah." I said, "Okay, no problem. That's fine." That's what I was making sure you called them because if not, I needed to. So, then he finished his phone call and he got off the phone. I asked what you guys said. He told me that they said they would be here soon, so I just grabbed him some snacks and a drink. I put them behind the counter until you guys showed up, but he just dropped him off and left. And it wasn't the first time and that she does it often when she gets mad. >> Okay. And um I guess we watch all the time frames together. So >> yeah. So he probably I texted my manager that someone had left their child here and the sheriffs were on the way at 9:22. So he probably came in the store about 9:20. >> Did he seem scared, nervous? He said he was nervous that he was a little scared and nervous. >> Okay. Does he know where he is or >> He knew like he knew he was not necessarily I don't know about Port Charlotte. He knew he wasn't from the area. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So he didn't he didn't know where like he didn't know his surroundings. >> No. No. He had to ask me like where we were at, what town, the address. >> Okay. And did he have any idea was? >> No, he had no idea. He said that she just left him that she he he did not think she >> The mother was arrested on a child neglect related charge under Florida law. Child protective services were notified and the children were released to a family member while the case proceeded. Remember parenting under stress requires seeking help rather than handling crises alone. Leaving a child unsupervised, even briefly, can lead to serious legal consequences. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation shows how fast a stressful moment can turn into a serious case. I feel for the child calling 911 takes a lot of courage. This could have been avoided if support services were involved earlier. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is when mom left her three kids home alone to meet her new boyfriend. >> Nobody's home, just the kids. >> It kind of gives me a feeling she fell asleep somewhere. I've probably been gone maybe an hour and I'm not a bad person. I'm just super stressed right now. I have a lot going. On October 29th, 2024 neighbors notice an apartment door left open late at night and realize only children are inside the home. >> And um >> I'm in pain. >> We will let you go. The rest >> time you seen her? >> When she was in the office >> yesterday? >> Yesterday? >> Yeah. >> Where's her car at? This one? >> Yeah. I thought she might have hung a ghost up there or something. A sheep or something for Halloween. And as I was pulling off, I seen the kitchen light. >> Okay. >> Is the door wide open right now? >> No. >> Or did you close it? >> I closed it, but I rang the doorbell. I went around and beat on her camera. >> Hello. She got dogs. >> She got one little ocean. >> What's her name? >> Lind. >> Lindsay. >> Lindsay. Uh >> Carter. >> Miss Carter. Hello. No, there's somebody here. >> Beat him or whatever. >> There's a child in here. >> She baby. There three of >> them. >> There's a little girl. >> A little baby boy. >> Okay. Yeah. Where? She ain't there. >> I don't see her in the bedroom. >> She should have answered her phone. >> Y'all got her phone number. >> Yeah. >> And then I heard I don't know. I could be tripping. But I was crying food. I heard like a popping noise. But I didn't tell him that. I'm thinking he heard it, but he didn't. I don't guess if he heard it. And the little boy ain't even waking up yet. Why don't you try to wake him up? >> Go down here and beat on this door and see if she in there. >> Okay. >> Her bedroom though. It's open. >> Yeah, it's open. >> You know the manager at Timber Creek? Well, Linds, her name's Lindsay, but we get calls here all the time. Anyway, I just got called here. Her neighbors were worried about her. Um, the door's wide open. I walked in the house and I looked in the bedroom. There's a a little toddler in a crib and there's two other doors that are shut. Is it okay for me to open up the two other doors that are closed? >> Attempts to contact the mother by phone are unsuccessful, raising further concern among officers and neighbors. >> Check and see if anybody's home. Yeah, like I knocked on the door and it just opened up. >> There's a kid in here asleep. Hello. Nobody's home. Just the kids. I don't know where she is and they're all little babies. Her car's here, but she's not here. And I tried calling her cell phone. The three kids are there sleeping, >> but Lindsay's missing. >> Lindsay's gone. They got home at like 9:00. >> Where's her dad's house at? >> Right there. >> How you doing, sir? Are you Lindsay's father? >> Her father. >> You're her father. Okay. Do you know where she's at right now? >> No, she's not at home. >> No, sir. She's not at home. Uh, her door was wide open. And >> really? >> Yeah. And we're trying to find her. Her kids are in the house. And >> the kids are in there, but she's not there. >> But she's not there. >> Just check my computer right quick. >> Say it again. See if I got an email.

I mean, I don't really know what to say, but she's not answering me. >> So, what I want you to do is just go back into the house. Okay. I got my sergeant. He's going to be on the way. And then we're going to find your mom. All right. >> I know she's here somewhere though, but she has to be.

Okay. >> Like no problem or nothing like that. >> Okay. >> Intercourse involved, anything like that? Nothing like that. So, it's just like hanging out. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Did you find the time that y'all called? Like whenever whenever before she came over, did you call her? She call you? >> I didn't. Well, I I could That's what I was just trying to find. Couldn't find either one. I just went on my messenger. >> Did she call you like on your phone? She call you on like Facebook Messenger or >> Well, it was through it was through Messenger, but it wasn't a call. It was through text. But it was the last time we text was around 10:53. That's when she was uh I think she was getting her kids situated or whatever. >> So, she's going to put their kids to sleep and then come over. >> Uh I think so. >> Okay. >> Is she in trouble or something? >> She could be. She didn't come over there until 2:30. That's quite a while. You know what? If the kids woke up, >> Yeah, I understand. >> So, >> she has cameras in her house. >> Yeah, but sometimes cameras can malfunction. So, all right, Miss Carter, go ahead and take your hands out of your pockets, please. You are being placed under arrest. abandoning and dangering your kids. Okay. Okay. But the thing is you left. You've been gone for over >> after we talked to everybody. It's it's going to be >> about an hour. It's >> been longer than an hour. Regardless if it's that you still left. There's a small child in there. Okay. >> And there's also a teenager in there. >> How old is the teen? >> Houston is 12. Almost 13. >> I thought it was only a 9-year-old in there. >> No, no, no, no. There is a almost 13year-old in there. >> No. My my boy. How old is How old is the little girl? >> She's nine. >> That's so the only 9year-old in there. >> Oh no. >> There's a 9 to 14month-old >> and a 12 almost 13. >> But you've been gone for over 2 hours, right? >> No, it has not been 2 hours. >> What time did you go over there? >> What time is it now? >> Almost 3. >> It was maybe 1:00. I don't think it was any earlier than that. And I was over here at 2:35. I'm pretty sure it was 1. I'm not 100% positive. I'm not trying to lie to anybody. But there is a 12-year-old. And I'm right here. I never left the property. I was super stressed. I don't ever do this ever. >> Many is >> officers explain legal responsibilities and notify child protective services as part of standard procedure. >> Only 12 though. >> I know he'll be 13 here in just a couple months. >> What's a couple months? >> March 2nd. Very very beginning of March and he's very very responsible. I would never ever ever abandon my kids. >> Well, it's not not there's intent. Okay. abandonment of child of children with intent to return. There's two different types. There's >> I didn't mean to be gone this long. I should have watched my watch better. That is really on me. I just meant to be gone for a few minutes. Maybe 30 max, but not like this. If y'all arrest me, where did my kids go >> with your dad? And for how long am I in jail? Like I've never >> uh once you go, let's say you are arrested, right? You're booked into Cherokee County. Then you talk with the judge in the morning and then from there on. I I don't know. Where's the kid's dad's at or dad at? Sorry. >> Carrie is the one. That's the baby's dad. >> Is that the one that was here? >> Yeah. >> The last time I was here. Where's he at? >> In Quitman. You are going to send him with his dad. >> No, I'm just asking. >> He's in Quitman. >> And the other two, the one that they call dad is my ex-husband. He lives in W. hardcore date for the domestic in January. >> That's harder. Go ahead and place your hands behind your back. Okay. >> You are going to be you are going to be placed under arrest. Okay. >> Because you've been gone for a long time. Okay. So, you can't leave a 12-year-old in charge of a little minor and all that. Okay. It it is endangering a child. Okay. >> They're not endangered. They're asleep and I'm here. I'm on site. I didn't leave. >> Okay. It's it's still endangering. Okay. It's not with intent to abandon them. Never never return nothing like that. Okay. But the thing is, you've been gone for almost 2 and 1/2 hours. Okay. >> It's less than two. >> Okay. You've been gone for quite a while. Okay. So, it is going to be you are going to be placed under arrest for that. I I even called my supervisor just to verify with him, make sure that I'm not missing something, but he said no. So, that's what you're going to go to jail today for. Okay. We are going to have to call CPS. If they're okay with it, no problem. Which they're probably going to be fine. We're going to leave him within charge. Okay. You understand that part? >> Yeah. But they're not going to leave my kids with my dad. Okay. >> She's elderly and sick. >> Okay. Well, we'll go from there. And then if you got any sisters, somebody. >> My mom. >> Your mom will get where she live at. >> Does she have to wait to come down here? >> Go ahead.

Okay. >> I still don't understand. >> I just >> You can't You can't The thing is you weren't You were in someone else's apartment. You've been gone for almost two and a half. >> Family members are contacted to arrange temporary care for the children. >> Half hours. Doors open. >> Doors are wide open. Regardless if the door was wide open or not, somebody would come up here and they find out you weren't here, you you're still gone. >> Okay. So, just go ahead and stand right here. What's the point in calling CPS if you can just cause somebody else to take it? >> They have to be notified. >> She is going to go to jail. Okay. I mean, law. I mean, we we can't just turn our heads on this. She's been gone since 12. >> Yeah. We have to call CPS. That's dad. But she's saying that he's sick and elderly. Well, obviously he's elderly. But >> why she didn't give y'all her mama number? I got it now, but I still have to contact CPS. And I have to wait for CPS to show up uh once that, you know, happens. Not CPS, uh, not CPS, uh, Mom. >> Yeah, they got they got their job, bro. >> Yeah, >> they got >> Yeah, >> Lindsay. >> Yes, Lindsay. That's what I'm sorry I'm trying to say. Okay. Uh, she's fine.

Uh she had left her kids for well over 2 and a almost 2 and 1/2 hours in the apartment alone. Uh but so she is going to jail for that. We have are contacting you after we've contacted CPS and wanted to see if you can come get the kids or somebody can come stay with them or however you want to do it. >> Oh my god. >> And somebody had located the apartment door wide open. We went and officers went to check and she's been gone after we while we were here. She was gone for well over almost almost an hour. Uh, we found out she's been gone for over 2 and 1/2 hours. Or are you going to be able to come get the kids or come stay with them? >> I can't drive at night. I I'm >> Okay. Well, let me call CPS back and let them know that you're not going to be able to come get them and uh we'll have to figure something out. Do y'all have any other brothers? Does she have any brothers, sisters, uncles, somebody around here? Anybody that can do >> No, she doesn't. >> Okay. >> Where was she? >> Uh, she was at at a friend's house. >> I don't feel at all. I don't want this. I don't I don't understand this. >> Yeah. Yeah. She was gone at the friend's apartment. >> Let me call my husband and see what we can do. And I don't I don't know. >> Where's he at? >> He's at work. He he he drives a truck. So he he went from work about 3:00 this morning. So must have been there long. But >> uh she doesn't drive at night. Her husband's not home. >> She doesn't drive at night. >> That's what she says. She doesn't drive at night. I don't know if that means >> time I ever heard that. Are you going to be able to come? >> All right, they will be able to come. He's over in Lakeport right now. Hey, this is your grandmother wants to talk to you. Okay. >> How old are you? >> 12. Almost 17. >> Uh, she said she's on her way. She wants me to >> The mother is taken into custody while the next steps for the children's care are finalized. >> Get a little bit of stuff ready so we don't have to sit here for a whole another hour and then >> she's going to pick me up. >> What's your first name? Bill, >> you know this gentleman, good friend of ys. All right, let me call CPS real quick. So, you'll be okay with staying with them till they mother gets here. Okay, let me just in case the officer needs something. Did you know your mom was gone? >> No. >> No. >> What time you go to bed? >> Maybe 10:00 cuz I got here late because I have scouts. >> Okay. As soon as mom gets here or grandma gets here, will you give me a call? >> Yeah. We're here for paperwork reasons and then once I finish the paperwork here, uh, you'll be taken to Cherokee County and booked in. Okay. Just take a seat right here. >> Your mom is on the way for her husband. He was in Lakeport, but he's headed back. He's going to pick her up and come with child seat and everything. Okay. >> Is there any way I can use the restroom? I mean, I've been holding it for the hour. >> I understand. Um, >> I'm in pain. >> We will let you go to the restroom. Okay. But I am going to have to ask you not to lock the door here. >> I obviously don't have anything on me. >> Understand? Um, let's just I I not saying you are, okay? But listen, not saying you are, but don't do anything that's going to make this worse, okay? Just you got to understand. >> I've never I've never been in trouble ever in my life. Like this is >> understand. Let me see your key. That way she'll be able to use restroom. Let's go over here. Okay. You go to jail. Okay. Like Joe will see you first thing in the morning. You get a bond. Okay. >> I don't know what any of that means. >> Yeah. This means he'll tell you what you're being charged with, how much it's going to cost for you to get out. Eventually, you have to go to court on that. >> So, what if you don't have money to I mean, how does that >> You can ask him. There are several things. He'll he'll explain to you. There's several ways. >> The mother was charged with abandoning or endangering a dependent with intent to return based on the length of time the children were left unsupervised. Child protective services were notified and the children were released to family members while the case proceeded through the court system. Remember, even short absences can become serious when young children are left without supervision. Stressful situations should be handled by seeking help rather than taking risks with family safety. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. This shows how quickly a misunderstanding can turn into a legal issue. I'm glad the neighbors paid attention and made sure the kids were okay. Parenting under pressure is hard, but support systems really matter. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when kids drive back home brings police. Mom ends up in deep trouble. >> Granny is a bullet. >> Letting a 12-year-old probably not the smartest thing to do. >> Criminals. >> On June 7th, 2023, officers observed a vehicle driving erratically hitting curbs in a residential area. A traffic stop reveals the driver is a 12-year-old girl who says she was told to drive by an adult. >> What's going on? >> Hey. Hey, you guys listen. You You can't have the kids. Come here. Come here and talk to us really quick. You can't You can't You can't leave yet. >> Come here and talk to her. Ma'am, >> will you guys stop? >> Me? I'm a kid. >> Ma'am. Hey, ma'am. Don't Don't make it anything. It's not. Okay. >> It's not even >> Stop. Okay, we'll just tow the car. That's fine. I'll just tow it. Nope. It's going to get towed. >> Yeah, it'll get towed. No, no, no. Stay, stay back there. Don't come up to me. >> Go over there. >> Because I said so. Relax. >> Relax. >> Go. >> What's that mean? It means we fix quality of life issues. >> An adult woman at the scene becomes agitated, refuses instructions, and repeatedly interferes with officers. >> Ma'am, you're just going to have a seat till you get identified. We're going to tow your car. And that's all there is to it. >> Yeah. >> Young lady, how old are you? >> Okay. ID. >> I'm walk past you. >> I appreciate you. >> Just have a seat so we can ID you. >> Ma'am, just have a seat so we can ID you. It doesn't need to be all this. >> I ain't even did nothing. >> Okay. I'm sure you didn't. >> I didn't. >> Except for letting a 13-year-old drive. >> Germantown. >> It's not that the 13year-old drive. Listen. Listen. >> Take your purse off. Take your purse off. Take your purse off. Take your purse off. >> No. No. Take your purse off. Listen. I don't have no weapons. That's consumption team. >> I got to get my phone. >> Hey. Hey. Hey.

Your arm broke? >> MY ARM HAS BEEN BROKE. >> OKAY. We're trying not to do this. >> My arm's been broke. Let your stop. Stop. Stop. >> Let go of your purse. >> Oh, I just rebroke my whole arm. >> Y'all just rebroke my arm. I swear to God. >> I swear to God. Hey, go get my son. >> All right. You're going inhibit >> cuz the way you're acting I don't know if there's a weapon. >> Ain't no y'all know ain't no weapon right there. That Lord >> Hey, >> step back. >> Hey, get my son out. My arm just re my arm. Stop my arm. >> Stop. My arm is broken. >> And I'm trying it and I'm trying. She will not listen. >> Do you realize how you're acting right now? >> This is all on you and no one else. >> So, act like an adult. >> I'm not doing that. >> Officers attempt to identify the situation and secure the children while deescalating the adults behavior. >> No, you are. You're resisting. You're resisting. No, I'm not. >> Yes, that's exactly what you're doing. >> I don't want I don't want nothing to happen to your arm, but you're going to go in handcuffs for my SAFETY AND YOUR SAFETY. >> BROKE. It's broke. >> Oh my god. Kev, call your granny. Call your granny. >> I GOT YOU. >> NO, I CAN'T go behind. >> You can't pull that pull that back. I swear to God. Okay, let's go find Okay. Well, I'm I'm going to I'm going to call my sergeant, >> please. >> Because I think your actions are what caused it to break and not mine. Okay. We'll be more happy to call. >> Get my purse. >> Get my purse. >> I got it. Don't worry. I got it. >> Give me my purse. >> I got it. >> I got it. Do me a favor. You got Do a favor. Just step on over there for me. >> Yeah. Little man, go to your house, okay? Before I call children services. >> There you go. That's a good way to talk. Actually, you know what? Come here as well. You were You were driving, correct? Come over here and talk to me. Huh? >> Come on. >> Yeah. Come on over here. >> Relax. >> Hey, you're just going to be you're just going to be talked to. But I'm not going to put you in the back of the car. I'm going to have you stand right there. But if you try to run or walk away, >> you got to go down. >> Yeah. You're going to walk to the front of my car, though. >> What? >> Walk to the front of my car. >> Right here. Right here. Just walk right here. Walk right here. Right here to the front of my car. Hey, my actions didn't lead to this. Okay. I'm trying to be cooperative with you. I can't have you walking away and stuff. >> Go get dad. >> Go get your dad. That's all. >> Go get dad. Step over here. >> He over there. >> Uh, I would say behind the 900 block of Danner or 900 block of Danny's going on. Yeah, if you don't mind, I'll Dad's going to come over, so I'm sure I'll talk to him. >> Hello, Mr. Nicholson. >> What happened? >> Well, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. >> A parent arrives and officers explain the child is not in trouble. But the adult who allowed the driving is >> over. >> All right. You see the white spark? >> That's cuz your 13-year-old daughter was driving. >> 12. >> 12. I'm sorry. Why did you drive the car? >> She told me to. >> Where your mama at? >> At home cooking. >> So, we see the car driving kind of erratic. They pull in here. They're hitting curbs. >> So, as we come up, they're all switching seats, jump out. >> I got to be on your own. >> I got I got She's the driver. She's not in trouble. 12-year-old kid. I don't She They just have an attitude and that's fine. I mean, that's I get it. >> This lady, who is she? Their aunt. >> Her mom's friend. >> Her mom's friend. Okay. that. >> Okay. So, that's so she >> Yeah. So, she's I don't know if she's intoxicated or what, but she's having her drive. >> So, like I said, your daughter's not in trouble. We are just going to need her info for the report. She's the one that's in trouble. I just wanted to make sure a parent was over here that could take responsibility for the children since she's obviously not a capable adult to do. Um, so if we could just get her name, her date of birth, we'll get your phone number and address and then we'll we'll go from there till we cut loose. Okay. >> Hey, ma'am. >> Hey. Hey. Listen to me really quick. All right. >> We cuffed you in the front because your arm. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, I can't have you trying to pull on doors and stuff or I just want to get my phone. >> Whose car is that? >> Whose car is it? >> My son. >> Where's your son at? >> In the house. I need >> What's his name? >> Kevin. I need to get my phone. my phone. >> That's all I'm asking. Can I I got I'm in handcuffs. Can I get my >> We'll get your stuff. We will get your stuff. >> But you need to be cooperative with us. Okay. >> Officers suspect the adult is impaired and explain safety concerns related to the child driving. >> Now, now you are. >> We This did not need to go anywhere near this way. I was never >> ma'am. Our our body cameras will show >> no way I can do anything without your consent. >> But our listen, our body cams will show otherwise. >> Reboke my arm >> and we'll we will take you to the hospital. But here's the thing. We were trying to handcuff you due to your actions. All right. If your arm was broken and it's rebroken, we will take you to the hospital. We will get you checked out before you go to jail. Absolutely. But right now, you're in the backseat of a car because of your actions and no one else's. Okay? Letting a 12-year-old drive probably not the smartest thing to do. So, I need you to just relax. All right. And we're going to figure it out. >> Can I just get my phone? >> No. >> Is Campo coming out? >> Yeah. All right. What's up? >> I really need my phone. >> Why do you really need your phone? because I have surgery and everything due up and I need my I just got that phone. >> Well, we're going to get your phone. I'm not going to leave here without your phone. >> Get it out the front seat, please. >> Where's it at? Front seat. Where? >> Front seat. It's a black and white case. I just need make sure don't nobody take my phone. >> I will make sure nobody takes I'll grab it right now. >> Grab it. >> All right. >> Hi, ma'am. >> Why Why are you letting your kids go? >> I didn't know. >> Who your friend? >> She my friend, but I didn't know they was driving. >> Well, I'm not saying that. But she's obviously intoxicated. You 12. You could have killed something or kill anything. >> I didn't even I was in there cooking. I got flowers and [ __ ] on. >> Well, your kids aren't in trouble. They're I mean, they're kids, but it's just it's her decision. It's not a 12-year-old or I don't know how old little man is. But >> he was in there, too. >> I thought y'all cuz they was sitting right there. I'm like I'm She pulled up. She was talking to the kids. I'm in there cooking and I got my stuff home. >> Like I said, they're not trouble for anything. They're just they they're just kids, but she is in trouble for us. So, um >> you you guys are good to take care of your kids. We We have the info of your daughter. You they're not getting a ticket or anything. She's 12 years old. They're just you just got to take the kids home to a safe place and we'll deal with her. Okay. >> The adult continues resisting instructions leading to handcuffing while officers attempt to accommodate an arm injury claim. >> Okay. So, it ain't no way I can help her. >> Uh, no. I mean, we're not towing the car. She says it's her son's. I'm going to have him come move it. I'm not going to tow his car. >> Say I got license. >> Yeah. No, I'm not going to tow her car for >> She's going to jail. >> She will be going to jail. She's not only allowing a 12-year-old to drive, she's also intoxicated and allowing a 12-year-old to drive. So, >> listen, if you hand you can't hand you can't wait a minute, you can't handcuff her because her her her arm is messed up. >> So, she's handcuffed in the front. >> She's handcuffed like this. >> Yeah. And that's after her her being super combative. And we tried to cuff her in the back. >> She said her arm must have been rebroken. Yeah. >> So, we are going to get medical treatment for her. >> Yeah. >> But, >> I mean, This is all kind of a moot point. If she's cooperative with us, we don't have to put her in handcuffs or anything. >> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz her arm is >> So, and once and once and once she continues to say that, we did we put her in the front. So, >> what's she back there holling for? What the hell wrong? Wait a minute. >> Well, I think she's slightly intoxicated and >> Can I talk to her for one second? >> Hold on. Give me one sec cuz my sergeant's got to um do his job and then before we leave, ma'am, I promise I'll let you. >> Wait a minute. N Wait a minute. He's trying to do his investigation, but as you can see, she's not cooperating. Just like she hasn't been the >> I said shut the up. Tell her I said that. >> Well, I'll let I'll let I'll let mom talk to her. I'm sure mom can put a little Well, give me a sec. Give me a sec. He's got to do his job first. >> Hello. >> SHE CRYING. >> WAIT A MINUTE. >> Her arm. >> Yeah. >> Wait a minute. relax. >> If we if we could if we could just go back here so >> her arm is messed up trying her arm is really like really upke her arm is really pull her arm back like that. >> She was going in handcuffs. >> Oh, but see you have to her arm is so messed up. >> Well, hear me out. I I don't know that. I know that someone she's telling you to. >> I know that someone's being resisted and she didn't she didn't tell us until we started doing >> I told you that though. Y'all told me to get back. Like I'm >> Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. Because we don't let people come and interfere with our arrest because that's dangerous. But I don't know him. >> We don't know for a job to do, right? >> Yes, ma'am. >> It's okay. She going to do >> Well, she let a 12-year-old drive her car while she's intoxicated. So, it's it's not completely on us, okay? We're doing our job to try to >> Okay, we're not we're not speaking in uh >> I might need to have to call the ambulance. >> We have an ambulance on the way.

The adult woman was charged with permitting a minor to operate a motor vehicle child endangerment, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and transportation of intoxicating liquor in a vehicle. Medical evaluation was provided before custody procedures continued and the children were released to a responsible guardian. Remember, allowing miners to operate vehicles puts everyone at serious risk regardless of intent. Remaining calm and cooperative during police interactions can prevent situations from escalating. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. The kid wasn't the problem here. Adults have to make better choices. This could have ended so much worse if someone had been hurt. Refusing to cooperate only made the situation spiral. 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. >> GRAB YOUR MAMA LIKE THAT. >> HIS PARENT SHOULD better that beat me up all the time. Call your mom and tell her to come suck your belittle David Burns them all. >> On September 7th, 2023, officers responded to a call reporting a woman trespassing at a residence and refusing to leave. >> I ain't got nothing on me.

It's going to be a bad day. >> Officers locate the woman behind the house after she attempts to leave the area. >> You want to trespass from here? >> Like trespass from the property? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Have you ever thought about an order of protection? >> That's what I'm going to have to do. >> Yeah. >> Hey, should just go out the back again? >> I don't see her now. Get up, Ben. >> You got a warrant to be here. >> Get up. >> Did you hear me? You got >> Get off. >> You being a man like you a >> You got a warrant be in this property. >> Get out. >> Nah.

So, keep walking. >> For trespassing. >> All my clothes are inside this man's house. I've been here. >> You can handle that later. >> I've been here for days, >> man. I've been in this mothering man's house for days. His mom's got my key. >> You're going to sit in here until we figure things out. >> All right. You guys can place me, MOTHER. YOU AIN'T GOING TO BEAT ME UP. NO. THE CAN PLACE ME. You want to GRAB YOUR MAMA LIKE THIS? THE place me, please. >> Go. >> No, I'm not GOING TO DO THIS. I GOT TO YOU [ __ ] I GOT TO.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was outside yelling and I let her walk in the house. >> Okay. >> And I was standing and I called walked away and I called 911. Then she went back outside and she was yelling and I walked outside with her. I was like, "Let me check my mailbox. I saw you guys pull up. I locked my door. Yeah, I'm going have to go get all the protection. >> Yeah, I would say that's going to be your best bet. >> All right. >> So, what are they going to do to it? >> Um, right now we're going to I believe criminal trespass. >> Okay. >> All the time. >> What is your name? >> Tell you every person needs help to >> So, call your detective. I need somebody to >> just ask you a question. What's your name?

So, I'm not giving you Hester. Hester is my last name. >> Okay. Obstructing identification. >> Oh, >> mom sucks dick or what? What the? She named you Leslie. Who the >> last name? Well, guess what? They should have did better. His parents should have did better. He's got a last name le I've been in this man's house for a week. Just today he told me my baby seat got pulled. I got a DCFS case. My sister said my kids for three years got them removed. I did that. Well, guess what? They got removed to their dad's mom's house. Who beats the [ __ ] out of me? >> Are you going to need holding or you think she'll cooperate? >> Holding. No, I'll cooperate. What the [ __ ] I don't need to be out.

Let go of my arm. >> Call your mom and tell her to come suck your belittle. Matt Harris, David Barnes, them all. >> The woman was charged with criminal trespass, obstructing identification, and resisting arrest. Officers documented the incident, removed her from the property, and processed her according to standard custody procedures. Remember, remaining on private property after being told to leave can quickly escalate into criminal charges. Refusing to identify yourself and resisting lawful orders often leads to additional legal consequences. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. This situation could have stayed civil if she had just left when asked. Custody disputes don't justify trespassing or arguing with police. Every refusal added another charge hard to watch. Everyone thought it was too late until the body cam shows the exact second officers step in. Did you predict that rescue? The next incident is when mom's cover up of secret actions with kid fails miserably. >> Y'all are not taking my baby. >> You're getting arrested. >> Can you record for me? >> We're recording. >> That's fine. They trying to say uh since my baby got a bruise on his face. My son hit the side of the wall. >> They got me.

She's in her house. >> Oh, okay. >> Was she Did she go back in or >> um she was out here standing out here and she's like, "I got to go." And I'm like, "Yeah, no, I need you to just wait a minute. I got to wait for my supervisor. I'll be my message. >> That's okay. >> Is Sarah coming just to clarify or no? Sarah is not coming. >> Okay, that's I'm going to be taking our office. >> Okay. >> I thought I had it on here. >> I for sure don't cuz I went through this issue. >> Okay. >> When she came out, did she bring him with or no? >> All right. Hey, Mom. So, I just wanted to let you know um we are going to be taking protective custody um of your minor. So, >> why is y'all taking my I can't let y'all take my baby. >> Okay. >> Well, um like I said, >> child services informs the mother that protective custody will be taken while the situation is reviewed. >> So, here's the thing. >> I have your number.

That's Chicago. >> In Chicago. Okay. >> She could be on her way, but y'all y'all not taking my baby. Like you didn't inform me what no super said or none of that.

My son did his lips already chopped. He got chopped lips. So his lips always like that. >> Do you mind if I take a look at his face? >> Officers ask for an explanation regarding visible concerns and attempt to calmly clarify next steps. >> Like he hit the side of the, you know, the edge of the wall, >> right? >> He hit that running because he just got done eating and I'm telling him to get ready. He hit the a like what you think I would be doing something to my baby like >> and the lip. Did that happen this morning too? >> No, his lips is chopped. Like his lips always chopped up. So >> that's why he had what? >> Well, like I said, I mean based on the conversation that I had with my supervisor. >> Okay, but what your supervisor say? >> She said that we're going to be taking protective. >> But why? >> Due to minor's injuries. >> What? What type? But you asked me if I could take him to the hospital and all that. >> Right. Okay, let me call my sister cuz I'm >> The mother becomes increasingly upset and refuses to accept the decision being explained. >> Not letting y'all take my baby. She's not explaining enough to me. >> Okay, you're under arrest for domestic battery. >> Wait, y'all. Hold on. Put your hands behind. >> You're getting arrested. >> My son. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Hello. Wait. Somebody coming to get my >> Wait. Come get >> Okay. Can you get my keys?

How long do I stay in jail like I do this? >> We'll we'll discuss that when we get this I need credit card. >> Officers allow the mother to gather personal items and coordinate contact information for family members. >> Yeah, but I need to see where my son going and I need to lock my house up. Well, we'll get you her number. They're going they're going with you. >> This your case worker. >> That's what I'm saying. >> You good on that? >> Come on, Booty. Go out. Y'all let my son go up.

But okay, that's all I was called to let you know for you this one. >> The woman was charged with two counts of domestic battery, endangering the health of a child, and resisting a peace officer. The child was placed into temporary protective custody with placement and custody decisions to be determined through court and child services review. Remember emotional reactions during investigations can escalate situations and complicate legal outcomes. Remaining calm and cooperative helps ensure clearer communication and better long-term resolution. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation shows how fast things can spiral when emotions take over. Protective custody doesn't mean guilt. The courts still decide. Hard to watch, but staying calm could have helped everyone involved. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officers. Rush in comment if you felt that spike.
