baby carriage just left there cuz you know they didn't >> Sir put all the blame on me. I don't want nothing to happen. >> She has to go to she has to go through a jail process for over west cuz somebody said she threatened them. So now if somebody says that I somebody y'all going to show up and arrest >> but I was trying to see you. >> At first it didn't look like a crisis but the longer officers stayed the more they noticed the condition of the home, the state of the children. the small details that pointed to long-term [music] neglect. As they spoke with the mother, it became clear this wasn't a sudden breakdown. It was a slow deterioration that had been allowed to continue. And once officers understood how far things had slipped, they knew the situation couldn't stay the same. >> Deserve to be in jail. I understand. >> All right. That still doesn't answer my question. >> This is when hero cops realize this mother has let everything deteriorate. Here is Law Zone where features real police body cam footage documenting how officers handle tents and unpredictable situations as they happen. The first incident is that 22year-old mom arrested after abandoning baby and stroller. >> So we have like three babies inside that room. There's a lady sitting there and watching them. She didn't know that she just left the baby by here by the door at the entrance. Convention guards were standing and they said the baby sleeping at the st baby slept there for like a half an hour. >> I thought it was >> on February 14th. 2024 officers in Sakus, New Jersey responded to the Meadowlands Exposition Center after reports of an infant left alone in a stroller near the entrance. Police said the child was unattended for about 20 minutes while the mother was inside the building. Oh, hi. >> Hi, sir. How are you? >> Does know our body one cameras are activated. >> Huh? >> Our body one cameras are activated. >> Yeah, we have cameras. >> Um, this is a show that I made for the Jewish community. We're all Jewish people here. We all know each other. I know every single person that's here inside. We registered. Nobody comes in without registering. Um, we we had I made a personal policy because of the the items that are here. You know, things might fall like that and I don't let babies go inside. >> So, we have a little room outside. She didn't know the room is there and she can have somebody watch the baby. So, we have like three babies inside that room. There's a lady sitting there and watching them. She didn't know that. Let the baby here by the door at the entrance with my personal guard standing there plus the two sotas I mean convention guards were standing and they said the baby sleeping at this lady sle sle sle sle sle sle sle sle sle slept there for like a half an hour >> get one of the computers electricity >> electricity is not fits is the back of the house >> get me some >> can I have somebody electricity in the front desk we need electricity in the front desk please >> so she's staying inside. She was standing actually in the front second row first booth. She was standing there talking to her. So I came out. I see two officers standing next to the baby carriages. What's going on? The guy say she's already a half an hour not inside. I said she's probably inside my house. I made an announcement. She came out. The minute she came inside, they say they're going to detain from her because she left the baby there. >> The first minute you said I came running. >> Yes. The second, not even a second after I said it, she was outside. >> Right. She was right there. So, I said, "Listen, it's my fault that I I wrote it on the ads that they shouldn't bring the carriage. Let them forget." >> Security guards say they initially thought the stroller was empty. Upon checking, they realized a baby was inside and notified a passing police officer. They estimate the baby was unattended for approximately 40 minutes to an hour. >> And forget, they bring the carriage. They think they can leave the carriage and just walk in with the baby. >> She's sleeping. I would I can do that but I I I want to know professional so I don't want babies. >> Okay. So I said leave it on the side. >> Hang right over here. Sure. Done. Um, we I was the one that saw when I saw an officer pass, I let him know. I was the one that let the officer know. >> Okay. Did anybody tell you that the baby's going to be left there? Do anybody >> No, we thought it like at first we thought it was a baby carriage just left there cuz, you know, they didn't want baby carriages or anything. And then we looked and they're like, "Oh [ __ ] there's a kid." >> Officers confirm no one was officially asked to watch the child. Security reiterates the mother was seen inside the event while the stroller remained outside. >> Did you notice? >> Not that I noticed. Not that we noticed. >> Do you mind giving my officer your information? >> Yeah, sure. What do you need? I got my sore license. My driver's license. >> Driver license. No problem. >> Um, let me get that for you. I'm sorry. >> You got char? >> Here you go. >> I don't know yet. Let's see. They didn't ask you guys to watch the baby or nothing like that. >> I mean, I did. >> Can you show me where the baby was? >> The baby was like, >> usually when people were coming in, the owner of the show let us know he didn't want anyone under the age of 16 and no baby characters. So when people were coming in, I would let them know, "Sorry ma'am, you can't bring the kid in here. The show has a strict polic." >> Officers speak with the mother. She requests her husband and says she checked on the baby frequently. Police separate individuals to control the crowd and continue the investigation. >> No, no, no. I know this one. Perfectly capable. Perfect. >> We're not saying that. >> She came checking everyone. She came checking every minute of every other minute on this. >> We need my husband here. >> Why? >> Oh, all these are right. You know, they're all Excuse me. You come here. My husband's not here, but this is all his friends, you know. I need my husband. >> Is your husband here? >> Husband's not here. Okay. >> Did my husband here? I'll be here. >> Is Is he here or is he somewhere else? >> Is he physically here right now? Any >> So, he's not physically here, but all of them are here. >> We don't need the extra crowd. You see him? >> Hi again. That's him. >> Officers arrange transport to headquarters. The baby's father is contacted to take custody of the infant. >> I can take you further. >> Where's the address on the police station? >> Can you come back? I want to take you >> hang >> here. This is the police station. >> Yes, >> sir. >> Yes. >> How old is she? me. She's >> She's so little. I wanted to take him further. 123 that driver. >> The mother is placed in handcuffs for transport standard procedure. An officer reassures her that she made a mistake and that the situation will be processed formally. What you need to bring? >> 6702. >> When it comes time, well, let me know or let one of my officers know, hey, it's time after feed my baby. >> Okay? Cuz you'll be right in another room. Okay? >> I hand the baby. >> Yes. right here. You go right to the car. Okay. Not yet. I'll tell you why. Make sure no one pockets in my sweater. Okay. Okay. Show us the ride. >> It's okay. Listen, it's just for the ride and then they'll come off as soon as you get to headquarters. You guys have some some paper. >> I know. I know. Listen, you made a mistake and that's all. >> Authorities confirm the 22-year-old Brooklyn resident is charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She is issued a summon and released. The infant is released to the father and child protection services are notified. Remember, leaving an infant unattended in a public space can quickly lead to criminal charges, even if no harm occurs. Venue policies and assumptions about supervision do not replace a parents direct responsibility for a child's safety. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Even 20 minutes is way too long to leave a baby alone in public. Glad security double-checked instead of ignoring the stroller. It sounds like a bad decision that escalated fast. think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a splitsecond decision [music] that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is when police rush in to rescue after parents leaves child alone for hours. >> Maybe they were in there with no clothes on. I just put them on clothes. >> You just got in the car and left. >> I didn't see the car cuz I was sitting down. On July 8th, 2022, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office arrested a man and woman from Vero Beach, Florida after they allegedly left a three-month-old and an 18-month-old alone in a hotel room while going to an arcade. A housekeeper heard a baby crying, received no answer at the door, and later entered to find the infant covered by pillows and the toddler near the edge of a bed. Deputies described the situation as dangerous. >> Be in jail. I understand. >> All right, that still doesn't answer my question. >> Housekeeping, he just came here about 10 or 15 minutes. Um, housekeeping was going to check the room to see if it was a stayover or not, which is the stayover and everything there. Okay, I'll check it out. What? >> Okay. Top or bottom? >> Top. >> Okay. Who's Who's registered to that room? >> Aaron Dobby. >> Who else? >> That's all I know. >> I don't know who else is in that room cuz I didn't check them in. >> Okay, I'll check it out. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Hi. So, it's time it's time for them to check out. So, I was knocking on the door to, you know, see if they were going to check out. I heard the baby. So, I'm like, baby, someone's taking care of the baby. I come back and knock. So, I came 10 minutes later and no one still came in with the baby. There's no baby for laying there for them. No, nothing. This baby, they were in there with no clothes on. I just put them on clothes. >> Let me check it out. Where's the Where's the guy that lives here? >> We don't know. They've been gone for at least since we've been in here what, 15, 20 years. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Okay. There's nobody in the shower or her room, right? >> No one's in here at all. >> Nobody's in the under the bed. >> That's my part. >> The baby was right there on the edge of the bed when I open the door. >> Okay. >> I want to look. >> Hotel management states the father had recently come to the front desk alone to extend the stay for another night, then left again. I can make you a copy of it. Are the baby's okay? >> Yeah, but nobody knows anything else going on. >> No, cuz he came down here to extend another night. >> When was this? >> It was about 25 minutes ago. >> Can I get your You have ID on you or? >> No, it's in my car. >> It's what? >> It's in my car. >> It's Jessica, right? Or what is it? >> Jessica Roberts. >> Clerk. What do you >> I'm the front office man. I'm the manager. >> Okay. So, they came back. This guy came. >> Mhm. >> Was he with anyone? >> No, he was by himself. >> So, he walked to the front desk. What did he wanted to do? >> He wanted to extend. I told him he could stay in the same room. He sat down, booked it online, and then he he told me he just did it. I said, "Give him about 30 minutes, and that's when he left." >> How long did he want to extend it for? >> Just a day. >> So, he wanted to extend the stay one day. >> Uh-huh. And then what happened? >> And he just left. I said it takes about 30 minutes for it to hit our system and then just got back. >> He just got in the car and left. >> Deputies confirmed Timeline Housekeeping discovered the children around 11:15 a.m. after checkout time. The father allegedly extended the room, then went across the street to an arcade. >> Okay, we got dispatched to U. Yeah. Power here. Yeah. Yeah. So, we get here, some of the staff were taking care of the babies. Uh, >> staff was already here taking care of the baby. >> One of the the young lady I she walked in, she knocked on the door at 11:05. She heard a baby, but everybody's supposed to be out at 11:00. >> Okay. Hey, how are you? >> So, she said she thought, well, maybe they're getting everything packed up and getting ready to go. So, she went on down and said she'd come back. So she came back at 11:15, knocks on the door again, still hears the baby, but nothing else. So she unlocks the door to check to see what's going on. Nobody else is here but two babies. The baby's about to fall off a bed right here. The other little one was under a pile of pillows on the other bed upstairs to pay for another day. >> Uh-huh. >> He then goes across the street the arcade. A little while later, she leaves and goes over there lift the baby. Deputies locate both parents at the arcade across the street and detain them. The father is handcuffed first. >> Yep. >> Are you with him? >> Yes. >> Your kids in the hotel across the street? >> Yes. >> Turn around. Put your water down. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Put your water down. >> Put your water down. >> Yeah. You're going to place arrest for child abuse. >> Sir. [music] >> Sir, can you stand up for me? >> Okay. Put turn. Don't do anything silly. Put your hand behind your back. During questioning, the father repeatedly asks officers to put the blame on me and tries to shield the mother from consequences. Deputies [snorts] ask who was responsible for supervising the children. >> They're there, man. I mean, we're we're with them. So, I'm just looking for some explanation. >> Look, just just put all the blame on me or whatever you got to do, sir. >> Well, there's two of you and >> Yes, sir. >> You guys decided to come down here and gamble and the children are in the room. I mean, I'm I'm I'm just asking. >> I don't care who the blame is on. I'm asking is that this is that the case? >> Just put all the blame on me. I don't want her nothing to happen to her. All my kids. >> I understand. And I'm We can work on all that. I have to get I have to understand though what is going on. You can't just say blame everything on me and let's go home. Like I need to understand what's going on. So So who is in charge of watching the children? >> Put blame on me, sir. >> Is anybody assigned to watch the children? Did you have a babysitter? Just quit playing on me, sir. >> That's You're not That's not a valid answer to the question. Okay, take her out of her. I'm talking me and you. Who was left? >> She has no record, sir. Like, I don't want >> Nobody says she has to go to jail. I'm I'm trying. We have an investigation. You're both detained and I've read your rights. That's all we're at right now. >> So, I need to understand who was in charge of watching the children. >> Sir, just put the blame on me. >> Okay. So, you were So, you told her that let's go gamble. I I didn't say nothing to nobody, sir. I I >> So, how did you leave the room with the kids still in the room? >> You made a conscious decision to do that? >> You I'm not talking about her. I'm talking about you. >> I'm not Look, I just want the blame on me cuz I don't want her to get in trouble. >> The mother is also detained. She states she was walking back to check on the baby when stopped. Deputies state leaving children unattended is not acceptable. Leave >> your child unattended. No, I was just walking >> to go play video games. >> No, no, no. But as you see, as you was walking in, I was going back to matter. >> Housekeeping found him. >> 1270 123. Can you get around out here? Email search. >> You have anything on you that's going to poke me, stick me, stab me, bombs, guns, knives? I have >> the father claims he left briefly to extend the room while everyone was asleep. Officers continue investigating discrepancies in their statements. >> I went to I went knew the hotel room cuz everybody was asleep. Sir, >> I thought we knew the hotel room. Just came across the street. >> Yeah. But Okay. So, you walked down to the front office and you wanted to extend your stay, right?

Like I didn't know what the [ __ ] I didn't know. >> So are you are you telling me you don't want to say anything? That's fine. I just I just want to get your statement on record or do you want to explain to me your side of it? >> My kids was Everybody was asleep when I went to That's the only reason I renewed the hotel stay. Everybody was asleep. >> Authorities charge both adults with two counts of felony child neglect. The father posts bond and is released. The mother remains in county jail. Child protective authorities are involved. Remember, leaving infants and toddlers unattended, even briefly, can create life-threatening risks and lead to felony charges. In child neglect cases, investigators focus on supervision, responsibility, timeline, consistency, and environmental danger. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. A three-month-old under pillows. That's extremely dangerous. They both left. There's no excuse for that. Housekeeping probably saved those kids. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam. And [bell] tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when mother panics when police show up over Tik Tok threats to child. this little girl's mom and dad decided to um write to my daughter messaging her on social media on her cell phone and everything.

Go ahead and have a seat. I'm going to put your seat belt on. Okay. >> Excuse me, Jose. >> Yeah. The kids the little kids went to threaten my daughter. That was really back when you can tell. >> Yeah. Uncip it cuz I'm locked down. I don't want it. >> It's kind of old, >> right? Doming. Do you want your phone on >> it? You know, a couple days. >> There you go. >> I don't know if you got to work because of the same situation that's going on. >> The adult was charged with making a written threat, booked into jail, posted $15,000 bond, released, and ordered to avoid social media contact pending further proceedings. Remember, online threats, even during disputes involving children, can result in criminal charges when they contain language suggesting harm. When a judge signs a warrant based on evidence, such as screenshots, law enforcement is required to execute it, regardless of personal opinions about the dispute. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Parents should never insert themselves like this over kids drama. Social media arguments can spiral way too fast. Once threats are in writing, it becomes a legal issue. The tension is already high. Or so it seems.

So, like if I just went to Chick-fil-A and I got a tea and you got a tea, would you get ID? >> I thought it was alcoholic, so I gave him back one. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Officers explain that using someone else's ID constitutes a criminal offense regardless of intent or outcome. >> Te was alcoholic. What's that? >> So, you thought you were getting alcoholic tea? So, you provided ID. >> I said, "Can I get a T?" >> Okay. >> He said, "Where's your ID?" So, I just gave him that one. >> All right.

Why would you even try it? >> I don't know yet. >> Why would you take a guy's ID that you met this weekend and think that that doesn't even look anything like you that you'd be able to go up to a bar and use it to get something? >> I don't know. People use fake IDs all the time, so I just assume that I would get one. >> So, you're aware that it's a fake that it's fake. >> I didn't know if it was fake. You just gave me it? >> Well, it's fake because it's not yours. And it might be a real ID, but it's not yours. >> Okay. All right. Give me one second. Where's the doors? >> Will you stand? >> Did you go with uh Did you talk to the bar? >> Yeah. >> What those? >> They said that he presented that to them trying to get a long island iced tea. >> So, did you ask for a regular tea?

Where's your stuff at? >> My stuff? >> Yeah. >> My food. >> Is it inside? Okay. >> Okay. >> It can stay right there for right now. >> Hey, quick question. Just so we get the verbiage correctly. Did he ask for a T or a long? >> He asked for a long island. >> That's what he asked for. The suspect admits he assumed fake IDs work all the time and decided to try using one. It's >> not yours. It might be a real ID, but it's not yours. >> Okay. >> All right. Here. >> Give me one second. Where's >> you stand? No. >> Thank you. >> Did you go with uh Did you talk to the bar? >> Yeah. >> What? >> They said that he presented that to them trying to get a Long Island iced tea.

Just so we get the verbiage correctly. >> Did he ask for a T or a long? >> He asked for a long island T. >> That's what he asked for. >> Yes. >> Thank you, sir. >> Okay. >> Are you you're here along other than the friend that you're with? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I mean, I don't really mean to cause any harm or anything. So >> So you're not causing any harm, but what you're doing, you're breaking the law. Okay. Laws are in place for a reason, and you can't just go somewhere and use somebody's ID for for to buy buy drinks or to do anything. If you have to use your ID, you have your ID, you're underage, you can't drink, you know, you can't drink, right? All right. So, why even try? >> And then you you do it and you give them the ID, then take off like when they say something. >> He told me to. He said, "Leave the cafe." And then I and then that's not what the bartender told us. >> I swear on anything. That's what he said. He said, "Leave the cafe or I'm calling the cop." >> Well, you left the cafe and they called the cops. So, it's loose. >> Yep. The suspect is taken into custody and advised about the booking and bond process. >> I got ahead back. Okay. >> Do I still get to catch my flight or >> you're going to jail? >> Okay. You're not catching your flight today. You're going to jail. This way. Okay. Come on. Let's go. So, I mean, I'm here on a business trip from my just I don't I'm not even paying for my flight. >> Well, the the flight whenever you get released, you come back, tell them you have to rebook your flight, tell them you missed it due to unforeseen circumstances or whatever you want to tell them. >> Am I getting out today then or? >> N once you get down to the to the jail, they'll be able to tell you all that. >> So, anytime you're arrested, there's an arraignment process afterwards. So, they have to take the totality of the circumstances and the charges you're being charged with to determine whether or not you're going to be released on bond, personal recognance bond, or if you're going to have to be transported to the actual prison. >> Can I call somebody to Once you get to the jail, there'll be a phone in your in your cell. You can make phone call. >> I just need to call him to get on the plane. I'd rather have him here if that makes any sense. Like, >> you're not making a phone call right now. >> What? Your friend that they were just talking to? Yeah. Okay. >> Cuz he's like the only person I know here. So >> Okay. So, you're going to go ahead and get in back of the cop car now. >> This one is >> the South Dakota one is his real ID. Sort of. >> So, where is he from though? Tampa. Did they say that >> he was flying to Tampa? >> Okay. >> That he I thought they said he was a local there. I don't know. >> No. So he's his he was here for like a work conference and he's flying back to Tampa, but they they were saying that this was his like original >> just quick rundown. So you want to talk to the bartender? He said he presented the fake a fake ID and he wanted to tried to buy long iced tea. Then when he said it was fake or whatever, he took off. >> Yeah. He literally said, well, he even said to his coworker, he said, "Let's just go." and picked up all his stuff and his fellow worker was like and he just left. >> Okay. >> The 19-year-old male was arrested for possession and use of another person's identification and attempted underage purchase of alcohol. Due to the location being an airport and the deliberate presentation of false identification officers, determined arrest was appropriate. He was transported to jail for booking where bond eligibility and release conditions were to be determined by jail staff. Remember using someone else's ID, even once can result in arrest and long-term legal consequences. Poor decisions in public places like airports are taken seriously and rarely end with warnings. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. He talked himself into cuffs. Fake ID at an airport bar is wild. The excuses just kept getting worse. What do you think about these situations?

What happened? >> I didn't get in the car. I was just trying to >> once she got out and and you guys were together again. What What was she doing? >> Ellen is just walking up. Ellen is just expressing her feelings how she felt. >> So, did something provoke her provoke you guys to get into like an argument today for her to storm out? >> Okay. She just got upset and was like, "I'm leaving." And >> we've been knocked. >> So, why was she here today? >> I don't know. >> You don't know? >> Did you have the kids or did she have the kids? >> She had the kids. >> So, she stopped by with the kids and then was leaving? >> Uh, I don't know what she Oh, I know. I was coming outside my crib and she was walking up. That's all. >> Has she just gotten here? Huh? >> Has she just gotten here or was she here for a while? >> She had like just gotten here. >> Okay. >> I know you're trying to protect a little bit with the kids. >> Yeah, >> I get it. >> Yeah, the kids. They're fine. They ain't hurt. >> But but our issue is the one kid got chucked in the car. There's a headpint on the window on the other side of the car. There's a handprint and finger drags down the window when the kid hit the window and slid down. You can hear it happen and you hear the kids immediately start crying saying they're scared. Pretty accurate. I didn't know how that happened because I was you may not have seen >> I was like trying to bring this baby to her got an Uber. >> I guess she tried swinging. >> But I ain't going to lie, the Uber driver did say that she did kind of sling the baby in there, but I didn't know if it was that hard. >> He was being legit. He was playing around. >> I was just telling him I'm sorry about the >> and then she tries to swing on you and accidentally hits one of the kids. >> Yes. >> Okay. That that's where we're running into a problem. You can actually hear it and then the kid immediately starts hanging. That that's our issue. Officers explain court procedures, no contact conditions, and child safety arrangements moving forward. >> Cherry, man, just hang tight. All right. >> All right. Do you have anything on you? >> I think it's going to stick me, folks. >> No, just get my phone. >> Yes, the baby. >> The baby bag has my card. The baby bag has >> Just please make sure if you do have an iPhone charger, can you please start? >> It's going to go with you. It's got enough juice to get down. >> My mom don't know me. My mom don't know. She don't even know I'm homeless. Can you just please tell her how I'm in jail just in case they can't get my kid? >> Is this okay? >> I know. Give me a sec. >> Uh there's EMS. Okay. So, she's going to jail. She's already on her way. Okay. Two counts of child abuse. >> What? >> Yep. >> Child >> for throw one count per kid cuz she threw both kids in the car, bounced one of them off the window that you didn't see cuz you were outside of the car. >> Yeah. >> So, that's child abuse. >> What? >> And she hit one of them. >> How? >> On accident when she swung at you and missed. It's all witnessed. Okay. And then she's got to go for three counts of domestic battery. Okay? Cuz domestic battery on you, domestic battery on her, domestic battery on her. Okay. Okay. So, she's going to be in a little bit. She'll see a judge in the morning and then from there they'll determine if there's bond or anything like that. So, she can't contact you. You can't contact her. She can't come here >> when? >> Once she sees the judge. >> Do you all have any more questions? >> She was taken into custody and charged with two counts of child abuse, one count per child, three counts of domestic batteries. The charges included harm caused during the altercation, including one instance where a child was struck unintentionally during an attempted assault. The mother was transported for booking and scheduled to appear before a judge. Court ordered no contact conditions were explained and the children remained with their father pending further legal review. Remember, emotional confrontations can escalate instantly, placing children at serious risk. When bystanders speak up and document dangerous behavior, it can prevent further harm. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Thank goodness the Uber driver didn't ignore this. Those kids were terrified. Completely unacceptable. This is why witnesses matter. 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. >> You don't even talk to me. Why are you leaving with my daughter? She put her hands on my neck on somebody. She was going to do voodoo on me and all this extra >> face and say. So I walked to her face and I stood right here. She f her hand. >> On November 4th, 2023 officers responded to a volatile family dispute after a woman reported her sister tried to leave the home with her infant without permission, triggering a heated confrontation. >> Playing with me at this time. I didn't touch her yet. She got >> Hi. >> So what's going on? My sister's in our house right now. Okay. I haven't spoken to her in like eight, nine years. Like me and her, we fell out.

I let you come here and talk like and hold my baby and everything, but I don't speak to you. That's your niece. I'm okay with that. But as long as we not talking, I'm cool. I'm not going to take my baby away from you. That's cool. >> Okay. >> So, she's in the house and I stepped outside. And I sat outside because I was already on the phone and like I don't like to be around her. I already don't talk to you. So I sat outside and I see her coming out the door with my daughter. You don't even talk to me. Why are you leaving with my daughter? So I asked her, I said, "Where are you going?" I didn't even get slick with her. I wasn't combative or anything. All I sitting still and I said, "Where are you going with her?" She goes, "Oh, I'm taking her home." >> Why do you think it's okay to take my child home if you know we're not cool? >> Yeah. I got up and I said, "Selena, don't play with me." I started getting mad. I said, "Don't play with me." I didn't approach her. I walked in the house. I went to my dad and I said, "Daddy, where is she going with my baby?" Because, you know, I don't talk to this girl. So, um, the lady that lives with us, she was like, "Oh, she's just getting something out the car." So, I said, "Okay." So, I approached the lady. I said, "So, if she's just getting something out the car, why didn't she just say that instead of telling me, "Oh, I'm leaving with her." So she's like, "Oh, okay. Well, what she said wasn't right, but she's just getting something out the car." So when she said that, I was screaming at my dad cuz I'm like, "Don't play with me. You know we're not cool. You know that I was talking to this girl and you keep trying to make me talk to her and I'm not talking to her because what you did was foul as I fell out with you and I haven't talked to you in almost 8 years. Why do you think I'mma talk to you now?" >> Yeah. >> I started yelling at my dad and I walked out the house and I went back to go sit on the green chair, the blue chair that I was sitting on. So then she's approaching. She's like, "Oh, Estrada, let me tell you something." So, okay, now you trying to be combative. It's cool. So, she's like, "Oh, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something." She I didn't even let her finish what she was saying. I said, "Listen, I am not a child. I don't play like I'm not playing like that." I said, "About my baby. It's up. Like, stop playing with me." At this time, I didn't touch her yet. She got out. She said, "Come to my face and say it." So, I walked to her face. A verbal argument escalates into a physical altercation outside the residence. Conflicting accounts are given about who initiated physical contact. >> She put her hands on my neck. So when she did, I started swinging at her cuz why you got your hands on me? I ain't touch you. I just approached you. So why you got your hands on me? So she's like, "Oh, I'm going to call the police." Go ahead. I said, "Matter of fact, let me call them for you cuz I live here. You don't need to stay here. You live like in West Bumble [ __ ] somewhere. So what you doing here? >> So who is in the apartment right now? >> My dad. >> Okay. >> Um the two ladies that live with us, her and my baby. >> Okay. So she is here. >> Her BMW still parked here. >> Do you need fire rescue? >> No, I do not. I just need to know if I'm going to jail. >> Hold on, guys. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am, do you need fire rescue? >> No. >> Thank you. You got ID on you, sweetie? >> No. I have a picture of it. >> I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it. I just need to know if I'm going to jail or not. Cuz if that's what it is, let me know cuz Yeah. Cuz I don't know what she think this is. Like I always ignore her. Why are you bothering me? >> What happened after? >> So she put her hands on my neck. So I started swinging at her. >> So she text you first? >> Yeah. She put her hands on my neck. So I'm looking at her like, "Girl, like I'm not on that with you." >> Lift your shirt. I mean, not lift. >> Like she ain't She put My sir, she put her hands on the plate. So I I'm not going to lie.

Then later on that night, she going to call us talking about, "Oh, we the reason why her daughter ran away and we're the ones that made She said we made her daughter run away and she said that, oh, um, we basically was hiding her daughter." That's what she felt like. >> But you guys were out there looking for her, >> right? >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Okay. I'm make sure I heard that right. >> No. So, I asked her, I said, "Where would I hide your daughter if I live with my dad?

One time she beat my dad and I come in and I was like, listen here. If you hit my dad, you need to go apologize to my dad cuz there's no way you're going to leave life like this. >> This is the the last time I spoke to her, she never want to see me more.

We have to notify them regardless. Okay? >> And that's just because the child was there. That's the whole reason we notify them. Depends on on who takes the call and what the investigator.

There's stuff in her room in the bassinet that he needs for the for the child. Okay. So, she's going to jail for battery. That's kind of where it's at. >> Although it's domestic, one thing you it's a felony because you had your baby. The baby was in her hand. You know what I'm saying? >> So, are you guys charging me? She was charged with two counts of battery and cruelty without great bodily harm due to the physical altercation occurring while an infant was present. Although one party later stated she did not wish to pursue charges, Florida law allows the state to proceed independently in domestic violence cases. Child protective services were notified to assess the infant's welfare. Remember that baby being in the middle is terrifying. Nobody wins when family fights get physical. Way too much unresolved trauma in one house. Police handled it calmly, but the situation was explosive. People don't realize you can still be arrested even if the other person forgives you.
