So um I talked to one of the deputies from the original call to get kind of a rundown of what was going on with it. It was uh Irwin and he said that the mom the grandma had called the mom in reference to her behavior because apparently she was running around the house naked under the influence of something cooking in the kitchen. Something like that. Grandma was concerned. Well then she passed out and grandma couldn't wake her up. So she called the mom and the mom said this is why we put her out of our house. Maybe you should call 911 or something because she's your problem is basically how it was related. Um Irwin said grandma was very defensive towards them when they got here cuz they were beeping on the door. couldn't get back to the door and she's yelling and screaming at him, "Hold on, I'm [ __ ] coming." Blah, blah, blah. Like, she was very hostile with him verbally. They come in, the girl is alert at that point or no, no, no, no, I take it back. They had to do a sternum rub. Then she became alert, but they said it was very clear she was on the influence of something. So, they had her transport to the hospital and they found multiple things in the purse. >> Yeah. I looked at the internet all kind of stuff. Yeah, like a variety of stuff. So, >> just freeze us of any liability and not transport you.

Well, good luck to you. I hope you feel better. Okay. >> Oh, I'll be all right. >> And if anything happens, if if you start hurting or anything like that, don't hesitate to give us a call. Okay. >> Don't take this the wrong way. I have two nurses on my >> Okay. Two of my sons is married to nurses. >> Okay. >> If you feel like you need help, call 911, okay? >> Or call them. Call it. >> All right. >> My son has been a deadly. Her mom and dad got divorced and she just lived with me for the medicine. That's probably hers, baby. It ain't mine. It's probably hers. >> Well, we're going to get out your hair and let you relax and get back to your day. Okay. >> All right, baby. >> You have a great day. >> Thank y'all for coming out. What? >> No problem. >> That's her problem. She had a bag. >> Okay. >> I didn't stop from coming in the house, baby. I told her. >> Look, it's all good.

It's just a form stating that once she gets released from jail, you'll get a phone call saying she got released. >> I don't. >> Okay. You don't want it? >> No. >> Okay. So, it >> So, look, I'm going to put on here. She's going to need your signature right here at the bottom. Okay. >> Come back in. I'm not pressing charges on I love my granddaughter baby. >> That's why I said you're not pressing the charges. We are. >> Her mom and daddy divorced >> years ago. She's lived with me most of her life. She was born and brought to this house. down, too. >> All right, >> I don't mind. >> Officers arrested the granddaughter for domestic battery involving an elderly individual after documenting visible facial injuries and confirming physical contact occurred.

So, if you never got arrested in Jersey before, I'm assuming it'll be pretty low. And if it's under a certain if it's under a certain number, you go home with a court date.

I believe it. But we're 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.

[ __ ] 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. >> Come over here. >> All right. You see the way it's parked? >> That's cuz your 13-year-old daughter was driving. >> 12. >> 12. I'm sorry. She said driving 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, jumping out. >> I got I got She's the driver. >> She's not in trouble. 12-y 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. Okay. >> 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. So, 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. She'll be cut loose. Okay. Hey, ma'am. Hey. Hey. Listen to me really quick. All right. We cuffed you in the front because you're arm. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, I can't have you trying to pull on doors and stuff right now. >> Hold on.

Can I I got I'm in handcuffs. Can I get my phone? >> 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. >> I am now. >> Now you are. >> We This did not need to go anywhere near this way. >> Ma'am, our our body cameras will show 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 just need to 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's your friend? >> She's my friend, but I didn't know they was driving. >> Well, I'm not saying that, but she's obviously intoxicated. >> 12 years. You could have hurt son or kill or anything. >> [ __ ] >> I didn't even I was in there cooking. How about throw the [ __ ] 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 >> you 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 up. >> Like I said, they're not trouble for anything. They're just They're just kids. But she is in trouble for us. Um, >> you you guys are good to take your kids. We We have the info of your daughter. You They're not going to take it 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 sons. 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 for 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 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. Uh-huh. >> She said her arm must have been rebroken. >> So, we are going to get medical treatment for >> 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 she continues to say that, we did we put her in the front. So, >> what's she back there hauling for? What the hell wrong? Wait a minute. >> Well, I think she's slightly intoxicated and can I talk 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. Night. 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 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.

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. So, I don't know him. >> I told you coming out here for I got a job to do, right? >> Yes, ma'am. >> It's okay. She going to go to the hospital. >> 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. >> 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. So, >> medical personnel are called to evaluate the injury while officers secure the vehicle and scene. >> You going to jail? What? >> She's going to go to jail >> for what? For resisting arrest. >> For resisting arrest. >> Don't take her to jail. assistant arrest, >> man. You know, I'm always cooperative with everybody. I I try to I try to do what I can, but I mean, she's the one that's cooperative letting the 12-year-old drive. >> That's That's just unacceptable. The 12-year-old hit. Is that your car? >> Whose car is that? >> Where? >> The Pontiac. >> My car. >> Okay. Cuz a 12-year-old hit the curb like three or four times. >> Okay. >> That's That's not safe for anybody. There's kids out here playing. >> Okay. >> And then we're trying to do our job. We >> going No, we You're not getting yelled at for that. You're just getting yelled at for >> my man right here is kind of yelling. >> No, but her arm is really up. Like I and and I and I and I sympathize with that. But when we're doing our job and telling her to just calm down and she won't give us her purse or anything, we don't know if she has a weapon or anything, but our job is to protect ourselves and everyone else around. >> I totally understand that. It's just, you know, I guess you can see what it is. So, it's okay. >> Yeah, cuz she's her arm is really, really, really >> I get that. If she would have cooperated and said, "Hey, my arm's messed up." Then we would have never put her in handcuffs. >> Yeah. She got to go to the hospital. >> We'll take her to the hospital. We'll make sure that >> MLM's coming. >> I didn't know if the MLF's coming here or not. >> Yeah. We're not We're not trying to hide anything or we want to help her, but at the same time, we got a job to do, and that's to protect the citizens. And a 12-year-old driving with an intoxicated subject in the passenger seat, that's not protecting the citizens. >> 12-year-old daughter. >> Thank you. Uh, her daughter. >> Whose keys is her? >> These are mine. The car is being towed. So, >> you have the car. Why is the car being towed? >> For safekeeping. >> For what? >> For safekeeping. Are you the registered owner? Is it in your name? >> Wait a minute. I just need to know exactly why it's being told. >> For safekeeping. >> What does that mean? >> So, she allowed a 12-year-old to drive her car, which is a crime. >> Okay. >> Right. So, that was used in a crime. So, we were going to tow the car. So, no one can let a 12-year-old drive that car. Unless the registered owner gets here before Sandy's does, we'd be more than happy to give her the car. Give them the car. >> Right. So, there's no way. >> Is it your car? >> Officers explain the legal consequences of permitting a minor to drive and obstructing police duties. >> Yes. >> Is it in your name? >> Yes. >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> My name's Officer Irwin, ma'am.

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.

And but I got her bag right here by the front door. I don't know if you guys can do something with it or if I just need to >> We can take it with her. >> Can't she? It's a big bag. >> Yeah.

Your mom or your dad? >> Both. >> Well, thank Britney Hester. >> Britney Hester. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Michelle Hester. >> So, is it Michelle or Britney? >> Tell me.

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 teeth got pulled. I got a DCFS case. My sister had my kids for 3 years. Got them removed. I did that. Well, guess what? They got removed to their dad's mom's house.

I done been beat up by Max. >> I want you to walk. I am. >> Well, walk faster and let me go. Let go of my [ __ ] arm. >> Call your mom and tell her to come suck your belittle. Matt Harris, David Burns, 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 officer 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. On December 8th, 2023, officers arrived with child services after a report raising concerns about a child's well-being at a residential building. >> Were you out with them? >> What? >> Were you out with her? >> The mom? >> I spoke with mom. She's in her house. >> Oh, okay. >> Was she Did she go back in or I told her to go back in? >> 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 on my message. >> That's okay. >> Is Sarah coming just to clarify or no? Sarah is not coming. >> Okay, that's fine. >> I'm going to Okay. >> I thought I had it on me. >> I for sure don't cuz I went through this. >> Okay. >> When she came out, did she bring her with all? >> All right.

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 but here's the thing. >> I have your number.

But you asked me if I could take him to the hospital and all that. >> Right. Okay, let me call my sister cuz >> 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?

It's so funny because when I walked out there, she was on the phone with her supervisor and all of a sudden like she not on she always wait for my supervisor. I'm like, "Okay, I got something to do or whatever. Next thing you know, now the police knocking on my door with her talking they got to lock me up. Just say that you was taking my son gang.

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.

It sounds like they shouldn't be here anyway. >> Yes, exactly. Which is what I told her. >> And she she was all upset. Whatever. She come to realize that yeah, that was probably the right thing. And so I told her like, "Yeah, just wait till tomorrow. Let's see if >> got worse, >> right?" So obviously they have to come back is what I told her. Given the circumstances, it was probably best if they just stayed there for the night. >> Well, she was refusing to let them stay.

That's why we're trying to get video camera. >> I'm just saying >> we have >> we have a lot of he said >> don't I have a right to take his phone? So he's allowed to bow over at me because I want to take his phone. You were not listening to me. It's your account. Figure out how to get >> Yes, sir. I don't know.

You would stand up to him too. He didn't put a hand on him. He just sold him on the phone on the phone that she paid for and he's like, "Fuck you. I have called the cops on you." Really?

He put his hands on her. So, yeah, she defended her damn self. That's like if he to put his hands on me, I knocked this out. You know what I'm saying? Don't ever come back in here again. And I mean that. me and that send your ass right the goddamn juy and give my damn money back from that prom >> so I can spend it on prom I spend >> okay keep running that damn slick mouth >> all right so here's what's going to happen man she's going to get arrested for child abuse that's a felony in the state of Florida okay >> I know >> DCF's going to be contacted they'll be in contact with you further investigation all right given the way this situation unfolded and the one that I told you I even gave you an example of this yesterday when I talked to y'all >> you didn't talk to me you was talking to her >> you were standing there when I told her I was was not standing out there. You was talking to her. I peep my head out. Well, that doesn't matter because we are today. >> And then I went back inside. >> I want to I want to explain something to you. I was going >> to you >> I was going to charge you with child abuse, too. >> How you going to charge me with child abuse? >> You to pushing the kid down >> cuz he bumped me in. He got up on me. >> Let me explain something to you, man. Before this gets any further because there was no witnesses and it was just your word and his I can't arrest you. All right. But whatever is going on here, it ain't good. and child and now DCF is for sure involved. >> I don't give a damn about no >> Well, that's fine. But what you need to do is change your attitude towards whether you care or not. I don't know. >> But you about caught a felony because of your behavior today. >> My behavior. >> Yes. I'm not we're not here because everybody was civil cuz we wouldn't be here. >> The mother was charged with felony cruelty toward a child under Florida law. The case will proceed with child protective services involvement and further judicial review to determine custody and criminal responsibility. Remember, physical discipline and emotional escalation can quickly cross into criminal behavior. When children are involved, witnesses and prior incidents heavily influence police decisions. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation spiraled over a phone, but it was clearly much deeper than that. Witnesses changed everything in this case. Once DCF gets involved, there's no going back to normal. 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 DCF steps in after teen girl arrives at school visibly harmed. >> I wake up light on and she instantly start hitting me. I don't know why she flipped that one and it kind of scared me. She did hit me with a Gucci belt. >> I went to go get my belt and I booked my child. On August 23rd, 2023, school staff reported concerns after a teen arrives visibly distressed, prompting law enforcement and child services involvement. >> With work later, okay, if I got a phone, we can make a call mom and told a whole complete story. And I guess mom thinks she going to go to jail. >> She probably is. >> She thinking the daughter is getting in trouble. >> Last time this happened, mom did go to jail >> and the kids. So, she said it happened at 1:00 in the morning, >> like this morning. Yes, sir. >> Lamar still look fresh. >> Yes. He said it's a lot on. Does she say she got anything outside of what we can see or is it just on her face? He's right there. >> How are you doing? What we got going on? I'm Sergeant L for Fair. What's going on? Let me see what's going on. It's okay. Can you take your jacket out? You got a shirt on underneath there? >> Yeah, I got a shirt on. >> I know you probably have told the story three different times, but >> yeah, >> it's the way police works. Okay, you got to tell it. And then when my detective gets here, you'll probably have to tell it again. Um, so I got like you probably see my bra. I got them right there and some on my face. I had my edges cover up the one that was right here. So, and then I got like some like right there on my arm and stuff. Basically, what happened was it's a boy that go I knew since fourth grade. He go here. He's in the other class over there. He came over my house over the summer. I didn't do nothing. He was just a close friend since fourth grade, right? So, you know, just chilling, whatever. My mom was over there summer like I can least like July 12th. Yeah. Over the summer came over. Mom was at work. So I have a younger cousin. He's 15 times 16. And they was playing a game. He came in my room, watch YouTube. So I remember my mom's not here. Fast forward in my phone.

So when she seen that, she was just like, why did you >> The teen explains a conflict related to household rules and phone activity, stating the situation escalated unexpectedly. >> I get my house and stuff like that. So, you know, I'm asleep. I wake up, light on, and she just instantly start hitting me. So, I'm just like, why are you hitting on me? And she showing me the picture talking about some why is he in my like why did he come to my house and when he looked at the screenshot or whatever, the picture picture said August 8th. I took a screenshot of it cuz I sent it to someone. So, when she seen it, she seen the date. It said August 8th, but he didn't come over August 8th. It was over summer and she still didn't care. And she just she just kept hitting on me and stuff like that. never could explain myself and she's like trespassing because like I'm not there. She told me like what if I shot him? I'm just like >> she wasn't there. She couldn't shoot him. Anyway, so he came over July when? >> Like around July 12th and he's like down the hall from his class. So I'm just like why would you say that about somebody I met since fourth grade and over the summer me and my cousin walked to township. I'm pretty sure you know what to say. I used to walk I used to stay in that them houses over there and we used to always go to his house. I come over his house cuz like he do music. you'll like roll up or I don't know. Yeah.

She confronted you. >> Feel like I was lying. I mean, I ain't got to lie about somebody to come my house because I go over his house. That's the only reason I go to that neighborhood to go. She know I be over there. So, it's like why would you flip cuz he's at my house and that's that's not my boyfriend. I ain't did nothing with that boy. So, no.

She hit me with a belt. >> Where she hit you with a belt at on your arms? That's how you got the arms or she hit you on the butt or what? >> Okay. Okay. It might sound weird cuz you're a man. So, >> it's okay. I'm here. >> When I go to sleep, I like kind of free ball. I was taking my underwear on. So when I woke up, I'm like, why is she hitting me? I ain't got no clothes on, just my >> Officers observe Mark's consistent with an altercation and document observations without making conclusions. >> She dragged me out the bed like by my hair just hitting me. I'm just like, bro, it's a photo. Like, I would not dare do nothing with this man. Like, this my friendship came so far with this man. I would not do nothing with it. I ain't never talking about. >> So after after she confronted you about the phone, you went back to bed or you were in the bed whenever she confronted you >> just busting my room, told me the phone and she's like, "Why the you um let somebody in my house going off and just hit me in my face." So you know that's she's been doing that. So >> how'd you get the marks on your arm?

My sister looking at her crazy what you talking about. So then she was like I feel like he want to hit you next. And my mom is the type if don't make sense her of course she's going to push her her hands on you so try. >> So she started hitting you with the belt. Where she hit you at with a belt? >> It's like stuff like this on her back. I don't show that but she hit me like the belt across my face. >> She hit you in the face with the belt? >> Yes. >> Is that where this mark on your neck come from? Did she hit you? Like you just take a belt. Just take a like a Gucci blue leather belt and just hit somebody with that like dead in the face. I can see I got lit up at least 20 times before she just Oh, wait.

You came in and confronted her. Yes, sir. >> Okay. And then you came in with your belt? >> Yes, sir. I did. >> You didn't grab her by her hair. No. >> Did not touch her physically with my my hands. Did not touch my child. And if my child was sitting right here with me sitting right here, she would be looking at y'all like like I'm literally lying because I did not physically put my hands on my child. That's not in my character to do. It's fine, but she don't have nowhere else to go. And she got to go home cuz she have to go to work tomorrow. like she's on a schedule. >> What does she work at? >> Freddy's. >> Does she drive? >> No. As much as I try to get her to. No. So, she could cuz she has done it before. What happened is she have scratches or something big or whatever the case might be. She probably this morning got a little angry of what happened and did that to herself. Me physically? No. >> She was like, I came in confronting her. I'm trying to explain her. And then she just like starts moving around. Mhm. I know when I was getting spankings, I would move around, but you just keep whailing on your freaking job like that. That's That's different. So, mom was saying, I don't know how she got marked. She probably did it to herself. >> And that's always a go-to for people. >> What time does your mom get home to? >> She got home at like around 12 something. So, I don't even know if she went through my phone. Like usually she'll she'll go through my phone because like she got blocked by somebody on Instagram. But I would think she go through my camera cuz she never do stuff like that or my messages. When I go home, she's starting she do this thing where she just take my phone until like the sunset go down and give it back before 10:30 cuz that's when I supposedly supposed to be sleep. So she did that and then like all I can remember is just waking up getting hit. >> Does it say you've been busted before? That's why she does this. Yes. >> Oh, yeah. So, I need that. >> In this case, there has to be a physical separation. >> Oh, 100%. Yep. >> So, we got to find a place. >> What it got to be a separation for just cuz it's domestic at this point. >> How is it domestic? >> Because she's your daughter. >> Nobody called and said this wasn't domestic. We're not still fighting. It's not an ongoing fight. >> It's not. But mother and daughter, son, >> and we're not fighting, right? Law enforcement explains legal obligations and next steps under state family violence protocols. >> She told us exactly what you said. >> Okay. >> But she also said that you punched her in the face. >> Okay. >> Now that's a lie. If I punch her in the face, will my hands be swollen? >> Not necessarily. >> They skinny enough to be I got into enough fights to know if I punch somebody in the face, my hands will be swollen. >> Not necessarily. If you hit her once, then it wouldn't necessarily mean my hands are little. If I hit if I punch somebody in the face, something to be wrong or my hands will be swollen or something to be hurt or fragile on my neighbor. >> Unfortunately, we are not done with you. They're done with you. No, we're not done. Do you have everything you need? >> Yeah. I'll be back. >> You don't seem like a bad mom. Okay. >> Okay. >> This got out of hand. >> It did. >> What we're going to do is we're going to put this to a judge. Okay. >> To the judge. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> At this time, I'm going to take you into custody and we're going to take you out of here. We're gonna go back to the PD. I got some paperwork I got to do and Okay. We're gonna try to get you out of here as discreetly as possible. >> So, I'm going to jail. >> Yes, >> ma'am. Okay. Whatever y'all need to do. If I lose my job, then what? >> This is what I'll say to you. You'll be given a call when you go to Fulton County Jail. I would advise you just to make >> Fton County. Okay. >> Yes. Fton County Jail. I'll advise you to make best use of that call. >> You don't got to put them on me. >> I have to. Nobody's outside. You're going to be discreet hanging out the door so you nobody else see you. >> You know where I'm parked? I do have to hold. We're in a school, man. >> I can't run with handcuffs on. >> Yes, you can. >> No, I can't. >> The first person to have handcuffs on the door. Let me get your property. I'm going to give it right back to you. >> All right. You got anything in your pockets? >> Uh, just my key. >> Is that the key to your vehicle? >> You want to leave it here or you want to take it with you? Authorities determined there was probable cause to proceed under state law based on observed evidence and statements. The parent was charged with battery and endangering a dependent while child services arranged temporary separation pending judicial review and further investigation. Remember, situations involving family discipline can quickly cross into legal territory when safety concerns arise. Clear communication, proportional responses, and early intervention can prevent long-term consequences. This is the reaction of netisens to this situation. This shows how important it is for schools to speak up when something doesn't seem right. Multiple perspectives matter, but visible evidence changes how cases are handled. It's sad. All around these situations are never simple for families or kids. 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. >> Babe, what's going on? >> You guys have any kids back here? No. >> Cuz I'm missing a kid. I have a whole lot of paraphernalia in this house around kids. They kept on shoving stuff in that in that whole dresser right there. >> Promise you there's nobody in there. >> On June 22nd, 2023 deputies arrive at a residence for a welfare check after receiving reports of drug paraphernalia inside a home where multiple young children may be present. >> Puppy. >> Whoa.

We just need to identify everyone to see who's here in the house. Okay, let's go, man. I'm not going to be looking through your stuff, dude. As long as the kids don't have access to it, I >> Let's just go. And who stays in this room? Anybody? Anyone in here? >> Hey, I need you guys to come out. I'm going to seize the house for a search warrant. Let's go. I need you to step out of the house, please. Okay. >> I'm in a lot of pain. >> Okay. Do you need an ambulance? No. >> Excuse me.

It's a big old heaping pile of burnt tin foil. That's the only I saw. >> No, one of the bedrooms. As soon as you look at down the hallway, it's that first bedroom right as you enter. discussion among officers about securing the scene, obtaining a search warrant and coordinating with family services and narcotics units. >> There's a one twiniz bed and there's a dresser right next to it and on the dresser just a heaping pile of burnt tin foil. As soon as we identify everyone, run everyone and make sure no one else start kicking people. >> It's mostly mom and dad. >> Hey, what are you what are you thinking? So, I'm going to call the aids and see if I can do search photos and topics. I think so. Um, he said auto >> that and then um who was here? >> Captain said was assigned his family or something like that. He wants to come out here and do interviews and stuff. >> Okay, I'll call his sergeant. >> They said just to call I just talked to Nico. I'm not >> text you but he said just to call Baro directly. cuz they already coordinated that. >> Okay. >> Do you want to 16 the people with uh the other ones? >> Yeah. 16 everybody. >> I agree with you. Okay. >> Did you see the >> people? So mom says she knows the house. >> That's right. >> Putting his kids in this situation, but they also they have a home. >> Now people first. >> Yeah. So hers in this room only kids in the house are still to do the only responsible for the child using >> or the mom is trying to do what she can. The way I the way I eliminated is anyone that that knows that children were here the doors were unlocked the kids are out of an age that they have can open doors have access to it and that the character has immediate access as soon as you walk in the room and I think that constitution they tell you in this room anyone >> um that's the bathroom >> oh the middle room um the kids were in the shower actually this is the weird part so when you >> the kids were in the back and as soon as I came back here, the kids were no longer in the back. They I think dad rushed him inside to take a shower cuz they were all in the bath just like just tin. So when he was back here, when these two girls were back here, I told them like leave and they wouldn't leave. They kept on shoving stuff in that in that whole dresser right there and in the bag and then this yellow container right here. >> Oh yeah. Oh. >> Yeah.

And then we still have that front bedroom with the mom and dad were staying in. >> Yeah. >> So, that was I left it open. So, it must have been the >> So, we're going to have to Or we can ask for consent from that guy. >> Occupants provide inconsistent details about who has keys/ uses rooms. Officers continue identifications and request consent or a warrant to enter locked areas. >> We're going to do a search warrant anyway if it gets approved. >> Okay, let's go. >> We still want to make sure no one's in there though. >> The dad locked it in. >> Must have come back and unlocked it. >> There's a way to get through here through the house, isn't there? >> Uh, yeah. Same way. Or >> is this connected to the house at all? >> Uh, no. Technically, yes. Wait, there's no door that goes directly into the house. >> Look in here. >> Francisco, let's talk to you, man. Let's just talk outside away from the kids. >> Well, there grandma's outside if she can take it. Nothing. >> So, we're going to seize the house for a search warrant, right? So, we can't say we're going to get a search warrant. We're just saying um we just want to make sure no one's in that back bedroom. >> Yeah. No, we we were just changing in there. We >> would you mind letting us just see just so we can make sure the house is safe? >> Yeah, but I don't I don't >> You don't have the key? >> No. >> Oh, who would have a key to that back bedroom? >> Lift it up and you can you can go through the roof, too. >> Well, I don't want to go through the roof. >> Yeah, there's nobody in there.

I don't even know how locked. >> So, you don't have a key? >> No. >> So, okay. Who would have a key, man? >> Um, I don't know. >> Okay. So, just listen, Francisco. I just want to be super clear with this. So, should we be granted a search warrant? >> Go ahead. >> But, no, just listen. Just listen. We're going to have to gain access to that. Should we be granted? >> No, we can open it. >> So, I'm just saying I'd rather just have a key than besides cuz I don't want to damage anything. So, kick it in. I don't I don't mind. I'm tell I'm telling you there's nobody in there. You can look. >> You can see there's nobody in there. >> Okay. >> I promise you you can There's nobody. I don't even know how it locked. >> All right. >> I promise you there's nobody in there, but you guys can kick it in. It's not mine. Not where like we stay inside the house. We just >> You're just changing. Yeah. >> Okay. Who normally stays in there? >> Grandma arrives, but says she cannot take the children. Officers plan protective steps and call child services. >> It's a room for everybody to use >> cuz I stay in the room with my kids over there. There's nobody in there. You guys can search. Go ahead. Okay. So, who sits in what room? >> We have to start identifying people and we have to start coordinating. >> Uh we we just barely got here. So, we don't have like a room. We're just heating. I guess I hardly ever see anybody. I come in to work. They you just allowed us to the friend of mine interview. He said, "My buddy, your buddy Lee told us told us that uh you guys are staying in your car." I said, "Yeah, it sucks." He said, "If I told my dude tile work, I did the tile work in the bathroom and he allowed us to stay here to stay off the street." >> We'll walk you back to the living room. Let's go this way. >> Yeah. So, you guys, but honestly, if you guys need to kick in the door, >> that's fine. Francisco, let's go this way, man. >> If you guys need to kick in the door, do it. If I can fix it or whatever you need to do. Francisco, just hang out here in the shade for now. Okay. All right. I'm going to have everyone step outside now. Hey. So, if you guys can come outside and then we're going to have you wait in the front yard real quick and you guys are going to stay right here with me. >> Okay. >> They're staying with me. They can stay inside. I don't want them outside. It feels too hot. Doing okay, ma'am? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, they can I tell you what's going on? >> No. >> Okay. So, I guess grandma's here. >> Okay. >> So, is it okay if the kids go with her? Yeah. >> Okay. So, that's going to plan. So, we still have to bring out CFD. Um, and then is that Francisco, your husband? Is he the kid biological dad? Okay, sounds good. Sir, um, we're >> Mom is arrested. Many adults who were staying in the house are documented. Officers arranged child protective custody and further investigation. >> Right now, we should be fine. We're just waiting on CYP. We've arrested Mom Brock has her in the back of there. And then we have, at this point, I was thinking it was like 10 and 12 people. I think it's more like eight people, eight adults inside. Um, just random people. They're all sitting in the front yard. >> You guys already have everybody ID and all that. >> Officers documented hazardous conditions, drug paraphernalia accessible to children, and proceeded with a search warrant strategy, and child welfare notification. The transcript reports the mother was charged with four counts of reckless endangerment. Child Protective Services, C YFD/DCF, was engaged to arrange safe placement and to begin a welfare investigation. Evidence and witness statements were collected for follow-up criminal and child welfare proceedings. Remember, if children are present, visible drug paraphernalia or evidence of drug use should be reported immediately. Quick reporting protects kids. Multi- agency coordination, police plus child services plus narcotics, is essential to secure the scene, protect children, and preserve evidence. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Hope those kids get a safe place to stay. That house looked hazardous. Good job calling it in the burnt foil. and kids in the same room is terrifying. Wish the neighbors had a quicker plan for the kids. Grandma couldn't take them, which makes it worse. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officer's rush and comment if you felt that spike. >> It's so stupid and I'm a idiot. Let it stick. But right now, you're being put, right? Not only for child neglect, but for shop. >> Listen, Carter. Carter. Carter. It's going to be okay. Hold on one second.

We walked over at the same time and >> uh they got him a drink and then we got him to >> I'm taking her. >> I'm taking her. >> Okay. >> Officers locate the older sibling inside the store and confirm the mother and children were inside longer than initially stated. >> From the time that you seen him to the time that you called 911 was how long time went by? It was within 10 minutes. >> Not even that. No, it was probably like 3 minutes because that those couple saw him as well and they called 911. >> Wait, what are you talking about? >> Like from the time that we saw him when we reported it to you guys? >> It was maybe like 3 minutes. >> 4 minutes. >> Okay. And then the time that we responded in about 10 minutes. >> About 10 minutes. And in between that 10 minutes, at what point did the mom come here? >> Right when you showed up. >> Right when you guys got >> a minute later, she showed up. Adriana. Yep. Perfect. >> Death leopard fruit. That's kind of cool. >> Hey, so what? So, were you in the car with your brother? >> I was going in these bathroom. >> Okay. Where was your mom at? >> So, you guys both went into the bathroom? >> Yeah. I don't like going by myself and stuff places like that, so I asked her to come with me. >> Okay. How long ago did you guys go to the bathroom? >> Not too long, Mommy. >> And you left your little brother by himself in the car? >> Um, I thought it would be fine since he's sleeping.

That's why I had to stop here was go to the bathroom. >> You want to walk with us? >> Yeah. Just in case I've been having on off too or anything or >> No, he just got out of the car. I guess they were concerned that didn't realize I had just like literally ran in and ran out. >> So are you worried? Is anything out of norm to you that you see? So stupid. I'm going through a really bad divorce and I'm not drinking about it in South. >> What's your name? >> I'm so sorry. >> Mom, what's your name? >> Hello. >> What's mommy's name? >> What's your name, buddy? >> Can I see your finger, please? >> It's a pretty cool life, right? tells us. >> Police advised the mother that leaving a child unattended in a vehicle is dangerous and may constitute neglect. >> That's what the memory went from mommy to the hospital. He did the same thing. Remember, >> it's pretty cool. >> There you go. Pretty cool, right? >> Ooh, look. Got a light on it. Just turn. Obviously, now that decision can't leave him in the car by himself. >> I know. I didn't I literally thought he'd be in and out and he was sleeping and I didn't I didn't 10 years. >> It's all right, buddy. >> So, I just I just wasn't I didn't think I just didn't think >> you can't leave in the car. >> It's just stupid. >> Sorry. >> We're looking We have to look at all aspects, right? >> Yeah. >> So, right now we're checking cameras for Walmart. >> Yeah. >> Not going to lie, we're checking stuff.

How old are you, Carter? >> Huh? >> How one? >> One. No, you're not one. You're older than that. You're bigger than that. >> Yeah, you're a big boy. >> I know. I know. I know. >> Okay. You're not having any trouble. Okay. You're not having any trouble, but remember when I asked you what you guys were doing here, and you guys said that you guys are going to the bathroom. >> Now, I know that's not the truth. >> While we're going to the bathroom, my mom suggested that we should also get some. >> Okay. But what was like what were you guys trying to get? Her mom wanted to look around cuz she gets distracted easily. So, she wanted to get something for herself and a jacket. One jacket, too. >> She walked out the store. >> She She told me to stay there because it >> she told you to stay there because she was going to pay for it when she came back. >> Okay. But you do understand that once you pass all the cash registers, that's considered stealing, right? Okay. So, that's why your mom's going to jail for today. She's going to jail because she pretty much took that out of the store without paying for it and for leaving your brother unattended in the car cuz you guys can't leave your brother. And you guys were in there for more than 5 minutes. >> You guys were in there for 24 minutes. If he would have stayed in the car, he could have probably died. If he didn't come out, >> he could have probably died when I asked you the first time. You shouldn't have lied. Okay? Cuz you can get in trouble, too. And you don't want to go in in jail, right? Oh, he's strong. He's so strong. What are you, Ticklish? Hi, Kitty. Kitty, >> Ziggy, Ziggy. >> Yeah, Ziggy's cool. No. No. >> It's okay. >> It's okay. Carter, don't don't pull on the cat. >> You got to be gentle. You're too strong. >> That cat's super calm. He's Look how comfortable he is. >> He's going to take a nap. >> You going to take a nap?

Roll up that rear window. >> What you just [ __ ] did. Where >> mommy? >> They rolled up the window. >> Mommy. >> This is her mom. >> Oh, her mom. >> Yeah. >> Hey, mommy. >> One second. >> Mommy, >> can you grab him? >> Go with your sister. Ah, go with your sister. >> All right. So, is coming here? He just told me he can't. >> The woman was taken into custody on charges related to child neglect and shoplifting. The children were released to a family member and the case was forwarded to the court system and child protective services for further review and followup. Remember, leaving a child alone in a vehicle, even briefly, can create serious safety risks and legal consequences. Stressful personal situations do not remove a caregiver's responsibility to ensure a child's safety. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. It only takes minutes for a situation like this to turn dangerous. The child wandering alone is the most alarming part. I'm glad bystanders stepped in and called for help. The tension is already high, or so it seems. But the body cam captures next saves a life pause and comment what you do here. >> Going to jail because of the injuries to your daughter. So, it came in for physical injury saying that the little girl, your daughter, had um a busted blood vessel in her eye and that she said that you had hit her in the face yesterday multiple times. >> On September 11th, 2024, police arrive at a school following a report that a young girl has visible injuries, including a burst blood vessel in her eye allegedly caused by her mother. >> I don't have to explain anything to anyone. Now tell me what happened with your sister. >> She kept on getting the answers wrong. >> All right.

Was it with a open hand or closed hand? >> Open. >> How many times she smacked on the face? >> She kept on getting the answer. I can't tell how many times she smacked on the face. >> So every time she got an answer wrong, she was a smack. >> She was stuck on one question. >> Mhm. and she kept on getting the answers wrong. >> So, uh, if you keep on getting started, and she did and she kept on getting it wrong when she and it was the same question she was getting wrong. >> Yes. So, how many times did you say she got the same question wrong? >> Police arrive at a school following a report that a young girl has visible injuries, including a burst blood vessel in her eye allegedly caused by her mother. So, do you say your mom hit her twin times in the face? >> I don't think so. I think it was probably like she got in a corner and then when she got out the corner, it was probably probably on he like eight times, but I can't count that high. So, now we have to >> You would hear it. You would actually hear the smack. >> Yeah. like the pound thing. >> It was across the face right here. Right. >> Yeah. >> What side of the face would you say she got hit on? >> What side is that? >> Your mom hit her on the side. >> Sorry. Did she hit her anywhere else? >> On her forehead. And then she just hit her on her head with her two arms. And then she hit her like this. >> Where? >> On both sides. Did you see when she did it? >> Uh-huh. >> So, show me how she did it. >> She crossed her hands like that or she had them like this like like say I'm your mom and she came up to her and did like so she would have did like this across her face with the back of her hands. >> So, so she was like this. You put your hands together like this. Additional statements describe the mother grabbing the child by her clothing, lifting and shaking her during the incident. >> Time. >> Yes. >> Did mom ever grab her clothing? >> Mhm. >> Describe that. >> Like this. >> And when she was grabbing her clothing, what was she doing with the clothing? >> She was closing her back. >> Was she shaking her or >> pulling her? She was shaking. Was it just her clothing she had or did she also touch her while she had the clothing? >> She just pulled her up. >> Just pulled her up by her clothing. >> Yeah. By the uh >> collar. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. Put your hand on the collar, mom. And then when what was the action mom did? Okay. You lifted her up and then she stood up. >> You know, she was she was on her knees. She was on her Oh, she was on the ground and she was trying to lift her up by her clothes. >> No, she was on the bed. >> Oh, okay. And then mom grabbed her collar while she was on the bed. >> Mhm. >> And then she lifted her up and sat her back down. >> Mhm. >> Did she shake her or did she pull her or did she strike her? >> She pulled her and then it strike and then she started shaking her >> and then when she was shaking her, was it just the clothing like this or was it I couldn't tell. >> Couldn't tell. >> Another child explains that corporal punishment with a belt has been used in the household previously and admits being afraid of their mother when she is angry. >> Okay, that's fair enough. And when your mom was um disciplining your your sister, she was using both hands at the same time and like almost like a swat of fly. But she was doing it to both cheeks and she did it a few like six, seven, eight times. >> No, one time. >> One time with both hands. >> Aha. Okay. Hey, Sge. >> Hi. How are you? So, we're almost to the end of the second interview here and then as soon as we're complete, we'll we'll hit one. Go ahead. >> All right, sweetheart.

How does mom punish you? What did she do to punish you? How did she go about punishing her? >> Guess the belt starts whipping you. >> When she spanked you with the belt, where does she spank you? On your butttocks or on your back or your hands, >> but sometimes we put our hands on our butt. >> Yep. >> She still looks at us like she doesn't care. >> Mom does all the punishment. >> Yes. And then she tells us, "Don't touch our >> officers confront the mother at the school. She refuses to give a statement and denies abusing her children. >> Just go in your room and go to sleep. >> Do you love your mom? >> Yes, I love my mom. >> Are you scared of your mom? >> Yes, she is very strong. >> How do you know when your mom is upset? >> When she starts cursing, she starts to yell. Sometimes she starts crying. And I know when my mom feels sad. I know my mom feels angry. And I know when she feels >> okay. I can tell by their faces. >> Explain to us what happened yesterday. >> I don't have to explain anything to anyone. >> Okay. Well, put your hands behind your back now. >> But why arrest? >> Oh, why? What am I on? >> Police explained the arrest is based on the child's injuries, multiple child statements, and photographic evidence documenting facial injuries. >> How? Who did I use? >> You don't want to talk to us? I'm I Well, why would I have to be arrested? Because I don't want to talk. That's not a They better crime. >> You're under arrest for child abuse on your daughter. And we have the >> on my daughter for what? >> Statements and and the photo proof from her injuries to her li injuries. Ma'am, ma'am, come on. Ma'am, please. >> Ma'am, all I'm trying to do is get my kids because I work from home. That's it. I didn't do anything. And I didn't abuse anybody. >> Okay. So there was alle there was allegation that >> Okay. But the allegation should make me to go to jail. >> Tell you. So it came from physical injury saying that the little girl, your daughter, had um a busted blood vessel in her eye and that she said that you had hit her in the face yesterday multiple times. I got statements from the kids saying that yes got hit yesterday, but there was different statements of how she got hit in her face yesterday of how many times she got hit in the face. >> Okay. >> Can I explain something? Can I explain something? Yes. Before y'all do, >> the mother disputes the allegations, claims the injury was not present when the child left home and references a prior child welfare case from 2022. >> Because there's no need to do all of this. I don't have no background. I don't have I don't have no charges. I don't have no tickets. I don't have none of that. I take care of my kids. >> So, I did remove these kids back from you in the past in 202 in 2022 for physical injuries. It's the same reason why >> 2022 >> when she got that hit on her PC. >> Okay. >> So you remember I came out then.

She said she didn't see it. It was when she came to school, a friend was like, "Hey, your eye is >> okay. So if a mark on her face, >> excuse me. Okay, let's let's >> officers clarify inconsistencies between the mother's account and the children's statements emphasizing that the injury did not occur at school. >> I'm pretty sure you have children. I'm pretty sure you got children. If my daughter, the one that y'all saying, is making I abuse has just told you and y'all just heard this from her that she didn't leave her house like that. >> She said she didn't see it. Okay.

All of these children gave me a live statement. >> I don't know what they did. I don't know, ma'am. I don't know what they gave me. You already know because of what you talking about 2022. You trying to use this right now to say that I did something.

The nurse called incident happened. >> No, the nurse called me earlier this morning. >> They did their homework in the living room. They read a book when they get in when they get to my house, but they do their normal work here. >> No, ma'am. >> So, your child Where's the nurse? >> So, your child wasn't ready. >> Where's the nurse? Where is the nurse? >> Pronouncing the words and you got frustrated. >> No, ma'am. Where's the nurse? Because the nurse called you this morning and said something about a a red eye and she just told me that she's going to send Mall to her class because she's appointed not complaining that her eye hurt. >> What's your home? The mother is placed under arrest at the school while officers arrange for relatives to take custody of the children pending investigation. >> Can I get that I abused my child? Like this is crazy. >> All right. You have any family members that these kids go with until um we can figure out a plan? >> Yeah, they're auntie. This is not even necessary. >> How many How many um kids are here of hers? Two. >> Three. >> Three. >> Sir, please don't. Please don't arrest me for what, sir? So, we need to just make the kids come outside. >> Look what I'm going through. >> Look what I'm going through. Because somebody said I did something that I didn't do. >> I've never been in jail >> and I didn't and I didn't get out. I didn't get out loud. >> No, because I'm wondering why you're going to jail. You're going to jail because of the injuries to your daughter and their >> dad. If you could bring the kids back here while they >> they're in position and they're all together. So they're all together in >> Okay. So if you guys >> I need to bring her out to my truck. >> We'll walk right out the front.

And I learned my lesson. They took my kids already. >> I did learn my lesson. And I haven't been I haven't been nothing to my kids, but a loving mother wasn't to my kids. >> She But the thing is, she wasn't like that when she left Friday. She She wasn't like that. >> The mother was charged with child abuse and taken into custody at the school. Authorities noted a prior child welfare history involving physical discipline. The children were temporarily placed with a family member while the case was referred to child protective services and the prosecutor's office for further review and court proceedings. Remember, repeated physical discipline that leaves visible injuries can quickly escalate into criminal charges and child protective intervention. Schools, medical staff, and sibling statements often play a critical role in uncovering abuse that occurs at home. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Hearing the kids explain what happened was heartbreaking. This shows how teachers noticing injuries can protect children. Denial doesn't outweigh multiple statements and physical evidence. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming >> in a week. >> You're the one that kicked your daughter out the one night. >> This has been nonstop since you've had your kids back. On November 18th, 2024, police responded to a motel after reports of a 4-year-old child wandering unsupervised in the parking lot while an adult was allegedly asleep inside a room. >> Where's this child at? >> He's in room 225. >> How long uh was >> Yeah.

And the door was locked. >> Where's the kid at? >> Here. >> I don't want it roasted. He's >> How old is he? >> He's four. >> Your four-year-old was out here running around for 10 minutes and he was in here sleeping. >> Officers contact the child's caregiver who states she fell asleep and believed the door was locked. The child is brought back toward the room. >> When I fell asleep, come here. I'll show you. >> You work? >> He was right by the door. >> Where you work at? >> I do door dash every day. I pay for this room every day. >> What time What time do you door dash? >> I do it all day long and I take a break when he comes. You can come in the room. >> This is disgusting.

They just got out of my life. >> But there's probably a reason why. >> NO, CUZ MY TRAILER WAS A MESS. I'M not the reason why this all looks like this. I'm not the only person. >> Well, all I hear so far, and I've been here a total of about a minute, is the blame game. I'm not the only person that lives in this place. I'm not the only person that lives in the trailer. I'm not the only person to take care of him. I'm trying to You're here now, right? Okay. So, he's your responsibility. >> Guys, I'm just trying to relax, but she is the god. She wants to fight with me all the time. She doesn't like me. That's why she called the cops. >> Well, no, because your son got out and ran around. >> Yeah, she's always fighting with me. She wanted to fight with me about my daughter. >> Okay. Well, I'm not worried about that today. I'm worried about him. >> He's sorry. I got him. Please don't comment on me. >> Yes, absolutely. >> I went and got him from school cuz he awake cuz he fell asleep and he got to school. He's possibly autistic. >> Okay. >> But the door was locked and he pulled it open. We can't get a lock until Wednesday. Wednesday cuz he was paid Wednesday. >> So then don't you think that you should be up watching him? >> I didn't mean to fall asleep. >> How did it happen? >> Not twice. Officers determine this is not the first similar incident, citing prior calls involving the same child wandering unattended. >> Get some clothes on them. It don't look like it. You got your four-year-old out here running around in the parking lot. >> Hey, buddy. >> Hey. Hey. And you can't you can't even control him. He's out here running around in the parking lot. >> Come here. COME HERE. DADDY'S GOING ON WORK, TOO. >> I try on our look. >> Shoes, socks. What?

What's going on? >> What is it? >> What's going on? >> Well, we'll figure out here in a minute. >> We We called CPS. CPS has to get involved cuz you can't watch a kid or take care of your kid. No, you can't. >> No, you can't. Yes, I can. Officers speak with bystanders and motel staff who confirm difficulty waking the caregiver and observing the child running toward other buildings. >> They've got little knocks. >> Did you find out >> once? I appreciate I'm assuming. >> Everybody around here was like watching where he was going, >> right? >> You know, because um they told us, you know, just call >> how many times prior? >> This has been Today is number eight.
