And this is not the first time that this has happened. She's got like open bleeding scat, like claw marks on her neck. I don't think that's really corporal punishment. They live with the grandma. She's just not the legal guardian. So grandma was here during all this. She didn't see it, but she heard it. And there's a long train of history with the mom just disappearing for weeks and then coming home and beating the girls and then leaving. And >> she punched me in my head this weekend in my back.

That's why I had to go to the chiropractor this morning. >> Okay. So, this is >> She abused me and attacked me. I >> The mother denies wrongdoing, repeatedly insists she was defending herself and expresses fear about her career being ruined. >> Are you going to listen to me? Are you going to listen? >> I don't know why I've been handcuffed. >> Listen. Listen. >> I'm not okay. >> Okay. So right now the story that your daughter is telling me and the injuries that she has >> are battery and the fact that your daughter she beat >> your other daughter witnessed it all. >> My other daughter did not witness that I was laying on the bed. >> Okay. >> She came up on top of me. >> Right now we have enough to take you to >> She came on top of me.

She got kicked out of school. This is not This is my baby. My daughter. I'm going to go if you don't mind just hanging out with her for a second. I'm going to go explain everything. Basically, the daughter's got scratches all over. >> The mother is taken into custody while officers explain the case direction to involved parties >> over her neck and little sister watched mom go at her and so yeah. >> Yeah, pretty clear. >> Yeah, I she's I've dealt with her before. >> She beats her kids all the time. Does she have a good part? >> The mother was charged with domestic battery against a minor after officers observed injuries consistent with assault. Witness statements from the younger sibling supported the victim's account. Police rejected the self-defense claim based on physical evidence and prior incident history. Remember claims of self-defense do not outweigh physical evidence and eyewitness testimony, especially in domestic cases involving children. Repeated abuse patterns and visible injuries strongly influence police decisions regardless of verbal explanations. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. She kept talking, but the injuries told the real story. The little sister witnessing it makes this heartbreaking. You can't gaslight your way past evidence. 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 police rush in to save family from an extremely toxic baby mama. >> Like mad. He weren't like strangling me, but he was like just trying to hold me down. >> She tried to snatch him away from me, hitting on me. And so I ain't did. >> I'm in the bed.

I got off work. >> How you used to stay over here? We'll kind of separate a little bit. >> I've been here with the baby since 9:00 when I got off work. She been gone. She just came back. She went and picked the other son up on my mama. She come in. I'm holding the baby. I tell him he's sleep. She tried to snatch him away from me, hitting on me. And so I ain't did that. >> I'm in the bed. I got to go back to work at 6:00. >> All right. What's your name? >> Cadero. >> So, she just got home a few minutes ago. She came in. >> Yes. At 2:00. She been gone since 9 or 10:00. When I got off, I came back. She was in the shower. She got out the tub, put her clothes on, just walked out the door. >> And you're sitting here packing your car up. >> I was trying to get my keys off her keychain and put my stuff in my car.

You go out tonight, be gone at 2:00 in the morning, then come home, start crying for me. >> Y'all married? >> No, I'm going to go. I said I'm going to go. >> Police document visible injuries on the father, including fresh welts, consistent with being struck by a belt. >> Yo, I got to be at work at 6:00. I've been at work all day. >> This happened tonight. The tears in the shirt. >> Yes. >> All right. >> She hit me in the back of back in the day with a belt and everything. >> Where she at? >> All right. I'm going to get some pictures if that's okay. Let me see your arm. Turn around. I know they probably asked you. We're going to You didn't touch her at all. >> No, she trying to say I choke her. I ain't did nothing. >> Is that all this right here? >> I can't see it. >> It looks like a belt. >> Oh, that's fresh. It's welt. I can feel it now. >> Holy. >> Did she hit you with the belt? >> Yeah. He says she That's the step. I thought that was like old scar, but that is >> She text me while I was at work early talking about I've been messing over her. Officers determine the mother is the predominant aggressor despite the father declining to press charges. >> Then I come home, she just leave a baby sitting on the bed and she take her other little boy with him. That's not mine. >> The small baby is y'alls together though. >> Yeah, we just had it on last Tuesday. Look at that. >> Well, one on his chest. >> Oh yeah, 100%. >> You don't have any other marks on you? >> That was at 9:24. You can keep your son. It's been the most time you spent with him. That's one time she left and she just got back. >> Yeah. So I have a question for you. You want to press charges? >> I don't really want to press charges, but >> Well, we're going to pick up charges then that she's prominent aggressor. >> The mother claims the father restrained her and says she struck him with a belt to get free while the baby was present. >> He is drunk. You came in, you was right here. You was on the phone with whoever, your home girls, I guess you say you went with and you fell into the wall. Then you fell into the other side of the wall. I'm like, man. >> Yeah. >> Do you want to press charges? >> He said no. >> It don't matter if you do or don't. >> That will pick them up. He doesn't. She's You know how bird back up. You >> who that is? >> No, >> that is sister. Oh, brother we arrested last night. >> You heard what she said when you walked up. You want to go back to jail cuz she know I'm a felon. >> Hold on. Well, I mean >> she know I'm a fella. She talking about you want to go back to jail. That's what you going to do. >> You're good, man. You got it. >> I hate to say it. She tore your butt up. Don't mean to say it like that. Do we have his information? >> I do have his name in bet. >> What started? How did he put his name on your bird? >> That's how it happened when I asked for my child. you need. >> He was like, "You drunk. You drunk." And I'm like, "I'm not drunk. All I hear is talking for the last five or six minutes." And all I said was, "Give me my baby." So, at this point, he turns over to the side and I'm like, I pull his shoulder. I'm like, "Just give me my baby." You know, like what's what's the problem? >> She admits to using the belt during the altercation and acknowledges she had been drinking earlier that night. >> He like, "Nah, he's sleep. You ain't getting him. You ain't been worried about him since you've been out. First of all, you've been out every weekend ever since I've been pregnant." When he crunch put his hands on you, how did it feel? Like it wouldn't matter. >> I don't know. When I I don't know. When I asked for my baby, he did like this. And my 2-year-old, he was on this side and he was crying. And I'm like, dude, just give me my baby. You know what I'm saying? Like, just give me my baby. >> Elbow you punch. >> Yeah, he did.

I've been drinking a little bit, but I'm not drunk enough that I can't handle my baby. So he did this and then he excused to get up and he like did this and grabbed my throat and like he wasn't choking but he like grabbed me and I'm like LET ME GO YOU GOT MY baby in your hand and you fighting with my baby in your hand and I'm like hurt give me my at this point like just leave give me what I gave you. Well I didn't give him but I let him you know have it. I got kids in the house >> after that. How did he get his injury? >> We was fighting like he was hustling in the hallway. So he trying to strain me and I'm like I grabbed the nearest belt. I did. I grabbed the belt that was nearest to me and I like swung at him like let me go >> with the metal part. >> With the belt with the belt. I don't know why I hit him. I know the >> leather part. You don't know if it was the leather or the metal? >> I don't know. I just hit him with the belt to get off me. I'm like at this point you need to go. >> So where were y'all wrestling right here? >> That's why this door open all this like right here. He had gave me my baby. I put my baby on the bed. I'm like her just get out. So he was in the washer getting his clothes or whatever and he grabbed my keys and he like get my key off that thing.

No. >> First time? >> No. First only because of what happened earlier. >> When was the first? >> When I was pregnant, actually. >> Miss Marley. Yes, sir. >> Both of them boys, correct? >> Mhm. >> Miss Sams. >> Police explain mandatory arrest laws in domestic violence cases and instruct the father to arrange care for the children. >> Are both of them his or just one? >> No, just the three week old. >> Okay. Just the 3 week old is his. >> Uhhuh. >> Listen up. She's going to jail. All right. >> You got marks all over you, dude. So there it really ain't up to either one of y'all. We have We're required by law to lock the predominant aggressor up, which is her. Now listen, you need to think about what you going to do with these kids. If you going to go to work, if you calling in sick to work or what? She's definitely going. I mean, I sit sitting there and listen to what she was telling that other officer in there and she trying to put it all on you. The evidence I'm seeing don't add up to that. You got marks all over you. Your head swelled up. So what you gonna do with the kid? Just get that figured out. She gonna go for domestic. So >> what you crying for, dude? >> Well, man, it ain't up to you. And we told her >> the mother is taken into custody while officers secure the scene and ensure the children remain with the father. >> It ain't your decision. That's the state of Louisiana's decision. So man, if y'all don't got to this point anyway, y'all don't need to be together. Miss Sam, can I get you stuff over here for me? You already said >> he was having a meeting like with my baby and my husband. >> Give you the opportunity to talk with the kids. >> So, you're going to jail or >> No, he's not going to jail. >> He can get the baby. >> He can take care of the kids. >> That's up to you. We don't know if you He said he's got to be at work in the morning. >> Work in the morning. >> Well, he going to have to make arrangements for that. >> I guess he can make arrangements for you >> or we'll give or try to give you the opportunity. He's not pressing charges. But look, when it's a domestic, we have to. Okay. So, understand that. >> Can I get out tonight? >> You want to go to BDC? >> Go to BDC. >> Hey, you know where her wallet is? >> What are you doing? You have a brush. He doesn't know. Is that bad coming with you? Come with him. Just lay it out for him when he come. He going to come up. >> You want to put this wallet in there? >> Yeah. But I girl, I don't feel real comfortable leaving your wallet full of money in out there in the mailbox cuz you don't never know some somebody like watching may come through here. >> I'd hate your money get stolen. >> Watch out. >> I know. >> All right. >> Stay right here. Nope. It's wet out there. Hold on. [crying] >> I don't know why that dude just don't come in here. Hey, you want to come on in here with these kids? She got his daddy is supposed to be coming to uh get this diaper bag [crying] and him. >> The mother was charged with domestic battery after officers observed fresh belt related injuries on the father. She was also charged with child endangerment due to the altercation occurring while the newborn was present. Police identified her as the predominant aggressor based on physical evidence and her own admissions. Remember, domestic violence laws require police to act based on evidence, not on whether a victim wants to press charges. Alcohol, emotional conflict, and the presence of a child greatly increase legal consequences in domestic disputes. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. The fact the baby was involved makes this terrifying. Her own words ended up sealing the arrest. Mandatory arrest laws exist for situations exactly like this. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam [bell] and tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when entitled Mother Ram's ex's car with three kids inside. >> I don't need this car. You have evidence. >> Stop.

You left the car here, you know. Take let my car take a break. >> The evidence. >> It's on your car. You >> Hey, don't don't talk to her. He's going to talk to her right now. Just talk to me. >> So, what happened? So, she picked you up to do Uber Eats and then what? >> She drove me all the way right here to Orange and Lemon. >> Uhhuh. And >> where'd she pick you up from? >> She picked me up from right here. >> Okay. >> We got there, she started going off on me, start hitting on me. She gave me an okey to come hang with her.

Are they saying no? >> I'll go back. >> I'll go ask this guy cuz I think that guy said that he drove off like she drove off. >> Yeah, she drove off with the car. >> So she could have got to record it and upload it. So, I got a video I'm uploading on evidence cuz he's not going to know how to >> Okay. >> send it through the video of it, too. >> Only of her smashing out the whole court. >> Okay, that's fine.

Because you're rambling. >> If you could just knock on the door. Hey, we're allowed to come in forcibly. You need to produce a child. If you don't, we are going to force entry and come to the home. Something like that. And just about every minute repeat that knock on the door. I'm going to let the other guys sell the whole spot. He's on his way. Give us 5 to 10 minutes and then we'll take it from there. But we're not leaving. >> Minnesota Police Department. >> Police repeatedly announced their authority to enter the residence and explain that force may be used if the child is not produced. >> And we have paperwork to enter your home and we will use force if you don't answer the door. >> The the court order has a clause for allow officers make forceful entry to get the child.

She looked out. >> You actually saw >> Well, I can't say it was the girl in the DL photo, but somebody looked out the back window. Yep. >> Saw me here and then duck down back. >> Well, somebody answered the door. They said it wasn't the mother, but she immediately was like, "Hang on, just slam the door." Now, nobody's answering. So, I'll let Sergeant know all that. He says, "Good. He's on his way. Hold it back if you guys have hang out here." >> No, nobody's in your room. >> Will you tell them on the other side that the door's open now?

All that's illegal. You just told my daughter. You just told my daughter. >> If you don't calm down, we can't explain. >> All right, let me calm down. >> You You show me the search. >> My thing is >> the search doesn't have our address on you. The search one is for here. >> You're shouting again. If you don't want me to go with the search the search warrant you had to speak about it misunderstood. >> No no I misunderstood. >> You said you had a search warrant. >> She clearly told me >> I never said the word search warrant. >> That's what I'm telling you. Bro, >> no you're not telling me anything. >> I don't want to talk to you. >> You're not telling me any >> So you want to be nice to you? >> I want you to be reasonable. >> We have an order to enter the home and take the child. Officers attempt to calm the situation, explaining the court order and the purpose of the visit while waiting for a supervisor. >> From the address, >> from this address, >> there's no address on it that says >> mother of the child has this address listed as her residence. >> I was told by the female that answered the door that she was here with the baby. >> I'm just going to because you're being a patient. >> I just woke up and you're in my house. >> You woke up and you weren't you weren't prepared to see us.

He's making no sense to me. >> Will you give me just a minute? >> Yes, please. >> Do you want to look in the house any further? >> I do want to see the last room that was locked. >> It was locked. Okay. I think Officer Schaefer sitting out the front. We're going to sit here and hang out wait till my supervisor gets here and then we'll go from there and reexplain it to him if he's going to listen and we'll get access to that room.

How do I know how old your daughter, right? This is your daughter. >> All right. Better explain that. Now that I calm down, >> your daughter told us that she was here. >> I did not say that. I said I just came from home from school and my mom said, "Is she here?" You said, "Yeah." And you closed the door, right? Like you were going to go get her cuz you didn't know. That's fine. >> Question is, >> nobody's mad at you. >> I don't want to I don't want to interject. I just want to let you know that it does. >> Are you okay? So that's what we were looking for her again. >> Yeah. So y'all walked in. She was >> No, listen. We were told she was here >> and we came in. >> That this is really This is very disturbing. >> No. No. Listen. You were asleep, right? You were asleep, right? >> Right. Imagine that. >> No. Listen.

So, either you can let us do it now or wait till my supervisor get my supervising very hard to talk to because I'm Oh, sorry. >> And stuff like that. Okay. >> So, that Yes. >> Because I'm making sense. >> No, sir. Because you're rambling off. Am I making So, you tell me my ramblings aren't making a lot of sense. >> No, sir. You're being rude and interrupted. So, we have to hang out here for my supermarket. >> And then we're going to speak to you again. >> I'm not trying to give you to go in there. >> The paperwork is shown clearly confirming the address and authorizing officers to retrieve the child. >> You know, give us permission and we're going to have to execute. >> I get what you're saying. Do you understand? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, right? >> No, I don't agree with you. You are giving me a hard time. >> I'm trying to give you a hard time. >> Sir, do you know that the last time that we were here, she ran out the back door? >> No, I don't know that. >> Okay. That's why we have four officers here and we have a supervisor on the way. I don't know none of this is going on. That that's not my kid. That's not >> that that child is belongs to the state. >> So y'all agree with him that y'all a understanding? >> You're getting caught up on act like he's he act like a cop right now, right? >> All right. One room's locked obviously. >> Right. She's in there. >> Yeah, more than likely. He's being a pain in the butt. But I finally got through and said, "What's going on? We're not leaving. The sergeant's going to make my room explain again. But we are going in there whether we can >> address on there." >> Yeah. I asked her. She goes, "There's an address here. Is there anywhere the child is going to be?" He's already admitted she just sleeps on the couch. We should be all just fine. So >> you reckon like I can't hold the paper. >> See this emergency motion >> right >> for to produce access to the home. >> Hold that one second. >> Okay. And then this part right here says law enforcement officers are hereby authorized to make a forcible entry at any hour using any and all reasonable necessary. Right here. >> All right. Now wait. She has refused to >> officers are finally allowed to proceed further into the home while tensions remain high. >> Introduce the child to the state. >> That's all for real. Okay. >> The residence. This is your address. >> Thank you. That's what the I'm talking about. Now you can kill me. >> Okay. But you understand that the address off would have happened. That's all I'm saying. If she would have pulled that out off rip and or he said he had his hand, >> it would have been easier if you show me no addressing with people and getting >> all I ask was for the address. >> I'm talking about the same thing from the beginning. the address. I keep saying, "Show me the address." >> It's right here. >> Right. >> All right. Uh DCF's up front and stuff like that cuz that's where the guy is that kicked us out. >> We didn't want to kind of escalate more. Here's what happened. The 16-year-old daughter's like finally answer the door. Hey, you can come in. >> They go through the house. They find two doors and knock on the one. The male came out, freaked out, cursing, get out, get out, get out. There's still one door locked and they're not no one answer the door and he doesn't want us to answer it. We backed out. Took us a while to explain it to him. >> Explain it to him. He still doesn't want to go us to go in there. So I said, "We're just going to wait till you get here." reexlain it again. >> One bedroom with a man who who they're saying the kid's not in there. >> Yes. Everyone's >> the owner of the house, >> but he doesn't want us to look into the >> Okay. And that would be the parent of the child. >> No, no, no, no. The parent of the house. >> Who's the parent of the child? >> What's her name? >> Is that person here? >> No. No. No. The child or that mother is not here? >> We believe because they're not letting us in there and nobody's answering the door and the door's locked. >> Let me see. >> He's on the back side um with DCF and everybody on the outside. >> Two sides. >> Yes, sir. There's two doors. I think >> so. So if you would have never heard me arguing and debating with you guys if you would have showed me the edge I would like okay what do y'all want to do I would have say okay >> do you want us to wait for our supervisor >> the adult continues to interfere and is detained for failing to cooperate during the lawful execution of the order >> all right we'll wait he's right here >> this is the the guy that was like you're good now she showed me the address >> this is the gentleman that lives here at this residence she's seen the paperwork with the address on it he understands what we're doing >> I get it now she's the address. Yeah. Okay. >> You're good. Now, >> you're going to let us go check now. It would have been green right if you would have showed me the same thing. She just showed me the address. What was I told? >> This is a rare circumstance cuz most people when the state says we need that child, >> but you can't treat every single turn over. >> Is the kid here? >> I don't know. I just woke up. I just told >> the last bedroom was locked. >> I don't know what's going on. >> All right. Do you have a way to get into that last bedroom? >> I don't go in that room. I'd be in my room. >> Usually, when a a bedroom is locked, it has to be open from the inside. So, somebody might be in there. Hold up. Hold up. Stay here for a second, man. Boss, what? >> Boss, >> your grandma's phone number. >> Give me one second. Sit down. >> 37. >> Please sit down. >> For what? >> Please sit down. >> For what? >> Because you keep walking around. I can't find the kid. You're being detained. Sit down, please. >> Officers locate the baby in a separate room, take the child into protective custody, and arrest the adult for obstruction. >> Okay. My grandmother. Y'all need to go to my grandmother house. Sit down on the on the curb or I can take you in my car in handcuffs. What do you want? >> Talk to some more. >> Sit down. Now don't get up >> now. Do you see? You want to talk to him or not? But you have to stay here. Do you understand? >> This is not where I stay at. Is that my grandma? >> Do you understand me? >> No, I don't understand you. >> Stay here and don't move. Do you understand that? If you get up, Officer Sullivan's putting handcuffs. You're going to my car. I'm not warning you again. >> The reason that they're here is because you're not cooperating. Okay. We're not here to for criminal. We're not trying to take you to jail unless you start acting out and we have to do so. >> Okay. >> So, just relax. >> This is their house. Like, y'all, >> okay, but you were staying here at some point. That was the address that they have for you and the judge signed off on that address. >> Get officer's going to search you. Officer Sullivan's going to search you. Spread your feet. Let me >> spread your feet. >> Where was the baby? >> Under a blanket in the other. >> Is that where I have to talk to you guys? >> Nope. Too late for that. >> Why do I have to go to jail? >> Because you know exactly why. I'm sorry. I'm done with this. >> You're being arrested for obstruction because you didn't you didn't cooperate. >> I I already have enough my class. >> I'm sorry. I have no sympathy for you when you just lied to us. >> Turn around. Face the car. Please just hold still. Just hold still. >> Can you widen your stance, please? There you go. A little bit wider. >> We can't. It's too late now. >> That's just my baby. >> We weren't going to take you to jail, but >> your actions produce this result. >> Can I loosen this? >> No. >> Can you just get her info start? >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. Get in. >> Minimum. >> Please. >> Can you send one of the girls from DCF over? >> Is there a way you got it? Please. >> Okay. I've already explained to them that it sucks and that we're we're sorry for what happened. Uh you guys do you know what your charge is? I'd like to do something like a child engagement or something. I want to read up on that and work with them. >> Figure it out. Take your time. Like this this one I want to do it right. So like I think that you can do 1015 based on the violation of that. There's probably a statute on that. >> Um maybe call booking and find out. >> Yep. >> I'll keep Garrett here to help facilitate whatever is about to happen. Uh as far as you guys are concerned, you've got mom. You have all the information that you need to do at 10:15. >> Why don't you go start taking her to jail? >> Okay, no problem. She lost her right to be able to see him and stuff. >> Forgot to ask you exactly how you found the child. >> Uh she was in >> the bedroom across from the one that you wanted to get into. So the one that you were in, literally directly across from that, he said, "Hey, Sergeant, come with me." I followed him. He didn't speak any words other than come with me. >> He pointed in the room and I was like, "Is baby in here?" I was thinking maybe was signal seven by this time. >> Like I thought that's what was happening here. And uh so as he pointed in the room, I just hear like whatever little baby. Okay. So I just peel the blanket up and grab her. So she was covered. That baby was covered with like a comforter, which will be on my body camera. Um but they covered her up in order to conceal her from us. >> What happened was she was in the room that you guys couldn't get into when you left. >> The incident concluded with the baby taken into protective custody by child services. An adult in the home was arrested for obstruction and authorities continued follow-up actions regarding the child's placement and family compliance with court orders. Remember, court orders involving child welfare must be followed immediately, even if family members disagree or feel confused. Escalation and refusal to cooperate often lead to more serious legal consequences than the original situation. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This situation spiraled because emotions took over instead of cooperation. Once a judge signs an order, arguing on the spot only makes things worse. It's heartbreaking how chaos and resistance can impact a child's safety. The tension is already high, or so it seems.

Officers documented his resistance and reviewed whether additional charges for resisting arrest would apply pending further processing. Remember, resisting arrest even as a juvenile can escalate a situation and lead to increased use of force and additional charges. Warrants must be enforced regardless of age and cooperation significantly affects how an encounter unfolds. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. This kid made everything worse by fighting the officers. Sad to see a 13-year-old already dealing with multiple warrants. The mom calling police shows how out of control the situation already was.

She she went to clean the baby and she said the baby is sick. I think something is going on with the stool or something. And I'm like, what's going on with the stool? She She said a word I don't understand. >> Okay. >> She said, "Take her to the hospital." I said, "Okay." I go inside the gas station. I come out and she's walking off with her bag. And I'm like, "Yo, wait, wait, wait, wait. What you doing?" >> Leaving you with the baby. >> Leaving me with the baby. She told me, "Hey, take her take her uh take her to the hospital. Take her to his house." I said, "I'm not taking her to Carlo's house. You take your baby to Carlo's house." >> She was She was like, "This ain't my baby. He's Hispanic."

And she's talking and she's I said, "Yo, I'm out. This camera's in front. I'm sure there's cameras in there and you're going to see me do like this, man.

I'm going to swear you in. >> Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? >> Absolutely. >> You swear everything you're going to provide is on your own free will and I didn't force you to do it. Correct. Okay. So, what happened exactly? So, I was I was parked on the side of the of the road with my car there and I was I was just um looking at my phone and I saw the the car pulled in, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of car cuz I didn't get that much close attention, but I saw the the dad and the mom. So, the dad actually pulled the stroller out of the car. It put the baby in the stroller, but somehow I knew something was wrong. So, I went around just to make sure. So, a a black male pulled the baby out of the car and put the baby female. Yes. But the black male was the one that put the baby in the stroller. Okay. So, my instinct was like something is wrong. I don't know why. I just have that instinct. So, and I went drive around and I drove around and I came back and I saw the baby with the stroller. Right. First, I wasn't sure if the baby was in there. Then, I heard the noise cuz my window was open and I heard the baby was crying. I was like, "What's a baby? Somebody forgot the baby." And I went to look at the crew that the stroller was parked in. See if somebody was in there. So that's when I picked up the baby and that's when I called the cop. >> So you were driving around, saw the two, the couple. One was a guy a guy. Can you describe the guy at all or >> It was both African-American like you said, very slender uh very kind of ghetto. Um so yeah, so they look kind of, you know, >> okay. So the guy ended up taking the baby out of the stroller, placing the baby in the stroller, and then where was the female at the time? She >> the female was getting the stuff out of the car, >> but I'm not sure exactly what car and look at the >> right. So then the the you will end up saying, you know, this doesn't look right. >> So you end up circling back around. After you circle back around the next time, you see the baby stroller all by itself. Yeah. >> And then and then you didn't suspect the baby was in the stroller, but then you heard the baby crying. It's like the baby was there. >> Okay. Did he did uh did anybody like shout at you outside of the car? >> No one shot at me at all. Yeah, I was surprised too. >> And then so then you ended up getting the baby and calling 911. >> Yeah, I took the baby off and then and I that's when I called you guys. >> Okay, perfect. All right, that concludes the statement. >> Thank you. >> You have my number. >> The mother is advised of her rights, admits leaving the baby unattended, and officers confirm child protective services have taken custody. >> So if I need anything, I will give you a call. Okay. Go to that door over there. >> Is your ID and stuff in this backpack? >> All right. >> Are you singing? >> That's not my baby. That's his >> Again, I am not the the officer in charge of this investigation. I am here with you. I don't know what's going on over there. I I talking to me. >> They are going to talk to you. >> It's been over 30 minutes. >> Things don't just happen on your timeline. That's not how it works. >> On my time. >> Okay. The paramedics are the paramedics are going to be here in a minute. >> You guys have >> I'm not conducting this investigation. That's why I am I have not spoken to you. >> Just Just hang tight.

My teeth just burst from getting um chewing on the body fat. >> I'm seeing the back one. >> Mhm. >> You feel it? >> No, I'm probably okay. >> Yeah. I mean, we we wouldn't take you to the hospital for that. >> I'm not. >> Okay. What's your uh >> I got her information to get it from me. >> Sorry to waste your time. Like I said, this was a first for me. I figured it was something I should call you for. >> What's your name? >> Holene. Him. Okay. I'm Officer M with the West Palm Beach Police Department. I'm the person that's going to be taking this case. So, I just got to read you these statements. Okay. >> I'm required to warn you before you make any statements that you have the following constitutional rights. You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions. Do you understand? >> Okay. You have to like remove them so I can hear you say yes. >> Yeah. Yes. Okay. Any statements can and may be used against you in the court of law. Do you understand? Any statements you make must be free and voluntarily given. Do you understand? So, I just want to show you a picture first. Is uh this your baby? Your child? >> I'm not sure, but yeah, I believe so. >> You sure? Okay. You You don't know if that's your child or it is your child? >> They don't really look like me. >> Okay. Think that is her? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You can be honest with me. I mean, I just have to know for my reports. So, that's her. Correct. Your kid. Okay. So, what happened today then? >> Um I wanted to take her to the hospital to see um what was going on with her. What was what was wrong with her? >> Um I I think she had seen >> what's what's that >> in her poop? It was like she had I wanted to go see if she was okay. She kept having these cucumbs and she kept pooping everywhere. And I also wanted to do a DNA a DNA test to make sure like, hey, this is your kid. This is my kid. You know, we both black and our kid look, you know. >> Who whose kid? >> Prince. >> Is your daughter's name Prince? So, who's this other prince? The other prince. >> So, you wanted to You guys were going there to go get a DNA. >> He didn't want to take a DNA test. >> Okay. >> So, as we were walking, he turned he turned around and I spoke to him. I ran to him and I gave him the baby and I ran away cuz he was like, "Why would you do that?" >> Well, you gave him the baby. How did you do that? >> I [snorts] left the baby right in front of where he was by the car. >> Okay. So you left the baby there, but he didn't sign any birth certificate or anything like that. >> No, he didn't. He was there for the birth. >> Oh, he was there for the birth. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So you left the baby and then what happened after that? Where did you end up going after that? >> And then I walked to my ex's house the way he acted just doing my whole mold. >> Okay. So then you ended up leaving the baby in a parking lot or by his car. >> Yeah. >> And then did he drive off or did you drive off? Did you walk away? >> He took the baby. >> He took the baby. >> Yeah. Okay. Is there a reason why the baby was found in the parking lot then by a bystander? >> Well, I don't know. I seen the car seat in the thing. >> You seen the car seat in his car? So, you assume he had the baby? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I don't know. I'm not tripping. >> Okay. >> Maybe he did leave the baby in there. But yeah, I ran away. >> Is there a reason why you didn't come go back after he told you? >> I wanted him to stop following me and then I was going to go back eventually. I just needed to calm down. >> Okay. All right. So usually So making sure I understand it. The baby you put the baby by his car and then you walked away. >> Yeah. >> Okay. But you but so you left the baby unattended. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. Do you want to provide me any other statements or anything that you want to say? >> No. Okay. So you know obviously since you're here I'm going to end up taking you into jail. It's going to be for child neglect. Um at the point at this point your DCF has the kid and your sister's coming to pick up the kid. Okay. So, I'm just going to pretty much write what you just told me. >> The incident concluded with the baby placed into protective custody and the mother was arrested and charged with child neglect. Authorities coordinated medical evaluation and initiated child welfare proceedings to determine the baby's long-term care. Remember, infants depend entirely on responsible adult supervision, and lapses in judgment can have serious legal consequences. When caregivers feel overwhelmed, seeking help is critical before a situation escalates. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. I can't understand how anyone could walk away from a newborn like that. [music] Thank goodness a stranger noticed and called for help. This situation is heartbreaking and completely avoidable. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. >> I'm losing my leg. at the bus.

Well, why don't we go down there and have him take your baby, then we >> On April05, 2023, officers respond to a report of a vehicle that crashed into three residential mailboxes.

Hey man, >> did you get in a car crash? >> Yeah, I did have an accident. I had them. >> So, why'd you leave your car there? >> No, I left out and then asked him to call somebody >> for help like >> Where's Where's your house? >> Right here. >> What's right here? >> Like the next corner. >> What's the address? >> 603.

During questioning, the woman admits to consuming alcohol earlier in the night, including multiple Jamaican happy hour drinks. >> Okay. So, these two apples that you have four, what are they called? Jamaican Jamaican making you happies. >> Yeah, they're cooler things. >> What are those things? >> They're like coolers. Jamaican you happy coolers. They're like >> they like coolers.

You drive it, it's a struggle. >> Okay. >> So, the power still like I I got the new piece on it. You can look at it. But see, I guess >> my question to you is do you think were you do you think you were sober enough to drive this? >> That's how I felt. I think I was sober. I didn't I mean I wasn't >> what >> I wasn't drunk. I mean I was sober. I was okay. But you see I was in the neighborhood. >> Okay. Let me ask you this.

And what time did you have those four Jamaican you happies? >> Officers request field sobriety tests which she refuses stating she has never been arrested before. >> It's 11:30. How long ago? >> I had two of them about 11 something. >> About half hour ago. >> Yeah, I had two of them. >> Okay. >> And then I drink them like through the middle of the night. >> Okay. All right. Well, would you like to go through some field sobriety testing to see if you were okay to be driving this vehicle at the at the time that you were? >> Why would I have to? >> I'm requesting that you do. >> Do I have to? >> No, but all you'd have to do is if it's three tests and then if you want to take them, you can to prove that you were sober while you were driving this vehicle. >> So, >> because based off your license, right? >> Why? Oh no. I never in my life had my license. >> Is your license though? >> Yeah. >> Why? >> What's that? >> My license. >> Police explain they still suspect impaired driving based on admissions behavior and the circumstances of the crash. >> No, no, no. I was just asking I was asking her question. >> I've never been accident. >> I understand. So you so you >> can see how >> So Latoya, what I'm asking is this cuz you're on body cam, I'm asking you don't want to you don't want to do any field society testing for you. >> So what that mean arrested? >> No. >> No, I don't want to. >> Okay. All right. Well, we suspect that you're you were driving >> Well, I take it. I'll take it. >> Why? No, I was saying I will, but >> I will take it. Why? I didn't have to do that. >> Let her do it or no. >> I do it. I >> look. Here's the thing. >> What did I do? While driving this vehicle? Okay.

Got rid of my stuff. >> The woman becomes emotional but remains cooperative as officers complete the arrest process. >> Wait, stop like this now. >> Get your breath out of here. >> Sit down. I'm a sick. >> Do we have medicine? >> Do we have a um like this here? >> It's okay. You're not body camera. You know that, right? >> So, >> okay. >> Okay. >> So, I'll just take her. Okay. >> Um or you have to go central. >> I'm going lay right here. >> Okay. >> Um you pattered her down already. >> Yeah, I'll do it again. I didn't do like pat. All right. [screaming] >> Just help me call her, please. Ma'am, I >> promise. I promise. >> Help me. >> No. >> Why y'all taking me? So y'all taking me and not calling? >> I have MY CAR. >> GOOD JOB, CAR. >> NO, I want to sit I want to sit on the ground. >> I promise. >> Yes. >> Yes, I will. >> Okay, I'll be good. >> Mom, I hope you're not. >> I am. The driver was charged with DUI and child endangerment after admitting to alcohol consumption, refusing sobriety tests, and leaving the crash scene with minors. She was later released on bond, and her driver's license was suspended pending court proceedings. Remember, driving after drinking, even if you feel mostly okay, can still lead to serious legal consequences. Leaving the scene of an accident with children involved, significantly escalates the severity of charges. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Five kids in the car makes this so much worse. Refusing sobriety tests doesn't mean you won't be arrested. Glad the officers made the kid safety the priority. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officer's rush in comment if you felt that spike.
