He made me pee all over myself. >> He's so evil. SIR >> just pissed on myself. >> It takes a lot to surprise experienced officers. But inside this home, something felt immediately wrong. The tension, the behavior, the way everyone reacted, it was enough to leave even the cops cautious. >> Some problems when I was a >> baby, I just said officer. >> This is when hero cops were speechless inside a shockingly toxic home. Here is law zone where features real police body cam footage documenting how officers handle tense and unpredictable situations as they happen. The first incident is that police save baby from an unfit mother. Insanely dangerous to raise hers THE ENTIRE TIME. >> YOU KNOW WHAT? SHUT THE UP. I DON'T WANT TO BRING you your kid because you are a mess. >> The back of our daughter's head. Hit the door. You don't put a child in the middle of your fight. She's so used to them yelling. And >> on January 20th, 2024 officers respond to a residence after reports of a heated argument between a couple that reportedly became physical and involved their one-year-old daughter being injured. >> What >> is that?

YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT MY KID BEING UPSTAIRS THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF AND GET MY KID BACK FOR THE LAST 5 MINUTES WHILE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR Y'ALL. >> OKAY. DID YOU CALL? >> THEY CALLED HIM. NO, THEY CALLED THEY CALLED YOU. >> OKAY. WHY' they call? >> HOW THE AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? ALL I KNOW IS I'MING I DON'T KNOW. >> Officers attempt to calm the situation and ask basic questions. The mother refuses to cooperate and continues demanding her child while officers state they are concerned about her current condition and ability to safely care for the CHILD BECAUSE THE PIECE OUTSIDE SAYING THAT I HIT HER KID BUT THE DOOR THAT DID IT WAS >> OKAY I I don't know anything about that but I'd be willing to FIGURE OUT >> KID DOWN HERE SO I CAN TAKE HER AND I AND LEAVE. >> How old is your child? SHE IS A YEAR OLD AND HE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT BE ME THE ENTIRE TIME. >> CAN YOU BRING IT DOWN? >> BECAUSE YOU GUYS WOULD NOT BRING ME MY KID TO KNOW THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY IN SAFE HANDS CUZ I DON'T TRUST THEM. >> BUT WHERE'S YOUR KID AT? >> UPSTAIRS >> WITH THE NEIGHBORS. >> YES. >> I DON'T WANT YOU KNOW WHAT? SHUT THE UP. I DON'T WANT TO BRING you your kid because you ARE A MESS. YOU ARE NOT FIT TO PARENT RIGHT NOW. >> I'M NOT A FIT TO PARENT. REALLY? >> YOU ARE NOT FIT TO PARENT RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT YOURSELF. >> YEAH, BECAUSE HE SURE IS. HI. >> Officers speak with the father separately. He explains the argument escalated near the doorway and says he attempted to remove the child from the area by taking her upstairs. >> Are you do you have injury at all? Are have you been injured? >> NO. WHY DOES IT MATTER? >> WHY? >> It apparently DOESN'T BE MY KID. SO WHY DOES IT MATTER? >> YOU KNOW WHAT? IF you can't have a conversation like an adult and act like an adult, then I'm not I'm not going to try and force it WITH YOU. >> MOM, LET ME GET IT SO I CAN LEAVE. >> Jesus Christ. She doorway here and she had stepped into the doorway without me realizing it. About as far in as about your shoulder would have hit about where your badge is on her back. >> Okay. And then that sent her into the wall. >> And I don't know if it was hard enough to send her into the wall or if she had exaggerated it. I don't know. >> Okay. Okay. Then what happened? >> And then after that, she she hit me. She shoved me. I took her to the ground. >> She continued trying to hit me, telling me to let her go. I said, "When you're calm." >> Okay. And where was your kiddo during all this? >> In her pack and play. >> Okay. >> In the living room. >> Okay. >> The father states that while he was carrying the child away, the door was pushed shut during the conflict, causing the back of the child's head to make contact with the door frame. uh dining room area and then I grabbed our daughter and I went to go upstairs and she shoved the door shut behind me, shoving me and our daughter into the door frame and the back of our daughter's head hit the door frame. >> Are you injured at all, Chris? >> Not that I'm aware of. >> No. Okay. Uh and daughters with the neighbor. >> Officers speak with neighbors who had taken temporary custody of the child. They describe frequent loud arguments between the couple and say they stepped in during the disturbance to stop the confrontation and take the child upstairs. >> Neighbors, is that right? >> Yes. >> Okay, I'll go and touch base with them. >> Hi everybody. >> Uh my name's Ben Doel. Uh what what's kind of going on? She's obviously I rate. I can't get a statement out of her. >> Every weekend, pardon my language. I'm pissed because the simple fact is you don't put a child in the middle of your fight. >> No, I I hear you. Um, yeah. Did do you guys know what happened or what did you hear or see before? >> Basically, it seems to me that she's extremely insecure because of pass that he's done. >> And so there's constantly a fight every weekend over who he's talking to, what he's doing on his phone, this, that, and the other. In all honesty, for 2 years now, it's been the same thing. It's constant. I am so sorry for my mouth. I I'm I'm fearless right now. Dude, >> don't bother me. None. >> That poor baby has done nothing to anybody. And I listen to the way that they talk to her when she's screaming, throwing a fit. Dude, it's a freaking one-year-old, >> right? >> Pick it up, love on it, give it food, change its diaper. Like, they're simple to take care of. Every time a fight starts, it's every weekend. It's almost every weekend. Sometimes it escalates this bad. Sometimes it's not this bad. This is the first time that I've ever heard of her getting hurt during a fight and I absolutely gave her he uh Chris came up, gave Jen the baby. I went downstairs to tell them both they needed to knock off because they're fighting. I have four kids of my own. Three of them right now are gone to the Royal Kids Family Club over there at the church. >> My littlest one is here and now we have her, which I'm cool with. I love this little girl. I mean, >> so she has injury. This little girl does. The neighbor explains, "This type of argument reportedly happens often and expresses concern about the environment around the child. The child appears calm and is being cared for while officers continue investigating." >> She got her head slammed, I guess, is what Chris said, but I haven't seen anything and she hasn't been flinching when you touch her or anything. But it's literally every freaking weekend they're fighting over something. And honestly, man, I'm tired of it. >> Not only is it traumatizing my family, like my dog is terrified and she's a huge dog. >> Like, she's terrified anytime they start fighting. So, that tells you me and her don't even raise our voices very often. >> The most I'll raise my voice is when it's four kids yelling and screaming, "Yo, keep it down." And it's instantly silent. >> Um, was she crying when when you got her at all? >> Uh, as far as I know, no. She's so used to them yelling and screaming like this. I >> I don't feel like she even understands like this isn't normal. Of course, she's a baby, you know. >> Yeah. >> I'm literally shaking right now because I'm so pissed. >> Okay. >> Like he came upstairs and basically barged his way past me. I went down there and they were literally fighting at the door, opening and closing, slamming it until I literally just barged my way in there. After gathering statements and assessing the situation, officers return to the mother and place her under arrest. She reacts with confusion and asks why she is being detained. >> I was like, "You both need to knock off. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of dealing with you guys fighting all the time. Now you got a baby in the mix." If you could just hold on to her for a second, I'll get back with you. Okay. >> Y I need my kid now. I have my mom on the way so we can go. >> Put your hands behind YOUR BACK. >> WHY AM I GETTING ARRESTED? What the hell am I getting arrested for? What the am I getting arrested for? >> I can't do anything. WHAT THE [ __ ] I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. >> THIS WAY. >> What the hell? I DIDN'T EVEN do anything to her. What the >> Stop right here and face that duty. >> Oh my god. What the >> Do you have anything on you, officers? >> I don't have anything on me. I just put clothes on so I can come get my hurt. Have a seat inside. Watch your head. >> Yep. >> We I don't know about domestic assault, but we for sure have child >> abuse. So, I'm going with that for sure. >> Okay. >> What do you want me to do? >> I think that should be all I need. Chris, uh, from what I've gathered, just so you're on the same page, it sounds like you were in an argument. She or you were getting the child to remove the child from the apartment. She slammed the door and the kid's head got caught in the door >> and slammed the door shut. And in doing so, her chest made contact with my back. >> Okay. >> Which pushed me forward. It contact the the door frame. >> Okay. >> Hard enough for she start it took her a couple seconds and she looked at me like >> gave me that look like what just happened? And then she started to realize it hurt. She didn't cry for more than a couple of minutes. >> That's the reason I'm taking her to jail. Um is because that's child. Um what is Can you spell Katain's name for me, please? >> C A T H A I N. Um, I will have to forward this report to DHHS. Um, are you involved with the case worker at all or anything? >> Uh, the only case worker I'm involved with right now is the case worker regarding my other daughter. Okay. >> That is in state custody. >> Okay. Just just so you >> because of her mother, not because of me. >> Okay. Just for the sake of full transparency, I just I have to forward this to them. Um, nothing I haven't just discussed with you will be disclosed. Um, and so we'll do it that way. Okay. Do you have any questions for me? No. >> Okay. I'm going to touch base with the neighbors. Um, and then we'll get her down there. Okay, Alicia is going to jail to Christopher for the rest of the day or whenever. Um, do you folks have any questions for me? >> Is she okay? >> Yeah, I think she's >> okay, >> bro. I'm not trying to be an [ __ ] but >> we got the problem dealt with at least for today, but um, just wanted you guys to be aware of that. Okay. >> The instant she comes back though is >> she won't be back till Monday. So hopefully something >> The mother was arrested and charged with child abuse. Remember domestic conflicts can quickly escalate especially when family members are present making it important to separate from the situation before it becomes unsafe. When officers respond to incidents involving a young family member, their priority is immediate safety and ensuring appropriate care while the situation is investigated. This is the reaction of netisonens to this situation. Glad the officers took time to talk with everyone before making a decision. Situations like this show how quickly arguments can get out of control. The neighbors stepping in to help the baby was the right move. 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 rescue teen boy from mother who terrorized her own home. >> She threatened to break my computer and she hit me with it. I called her. >> I told her I'll call DCF. I mean, I didn't deserve that. >> I've never hit my son really. Just a moment out of fear. He's been very depressed and angry. I lost my control. >> On June 9th, 2023, officers responded to a home after a teenage boy reported that his mother punished him with a computer cord during an argument about him staying up late playing video games. Been >> some problems when you tell me what's going on. I was having some problems with my son and oh I'm luck he's in the restaurant. >> Your son is >> okay. >> So what happened y'all? You were like disciplining him or something. >> I really just snapped we were fighting him. Yeah. of course started, you know, as like week and he was up till 5:00 a.m. this particular time about a couple of years with him. I can't go to school or so he got me and staying up on the computer. I literally just stopped and started screen and it left. >> All right, we're going to talk to why don't you tell me what's going on? I uh got in an argument cuz I was awfully wanted to take >> Officers then speak with the 16-year-old boy. He explains that the argument escalated when his mother threatened to break his computer and he tried to stop her. >> She threatened to break my computer and I got in a little bit. I told her I wasn't going to let her break it and she told me to give her the cord and we yelled back and forth. up. So, we're going back and forth screaming and um she I've told her that she threatened to hit me with the I told her that if she did, I'd call DC and she hit me with it and I called her and she hit me with it a couple more times and hurt pretty bad. >> You have any marks on you or anything like that? >> Right over there. >> Was it like the cord to a controller? or just like a thick like like it was like a thinner cord like what plugs in the back. >> Oh, okay. I got you. Was this because like what was she telling you to like get off the game or >> I was on it. I was in bed and something had like like the the water heater had like the short circuit and I smelled smoke so I went and woke her up >> and woke her up and >> and I told her then she was like why still awake? And I told her I was like I couldn't sleep. I was on my game. But she starts calling me irresponsible and this that and the other and you know she hits me in the core and I just I just end up leaving like I'm gone for like 5 hours to come back. >> I just asked my dad to come pick me up and called the cops instead. >> And this all started because you're up till 5 in the morning. >> Yeah. Also, >> yeah. Was she trying to discipline you in any way, shape, or form? Or was she just or was she just yelling at you because you and I I just she wanted to like break my food and I got in the middle threatened to break. >> Officers ask whether he feels safe at home. The teenager says he plans to stay with his father and clarifies that although he doesn't want his mother arrested, he felt the situation was unfair. >> My computer, I got in the middle of it, told her I wasn't going to let her break my computer. She told me to give her the cord and I did and we're yelling at each other and she hits me. She threatens to hit me with the cord. I told her, "I dare you because I'll I told her I'll call DCF." And she hits me with the cord and she hits me a couple more times and [ __ ] I just I walk down the I just leave. Gotcha. >> Where's your dad at? >> No, it's mine. >> No, it's mine. He said that he was going to come pick you up. >> I mean, you know, he didn't say anything to you. >> I said he would, but Cool. We're just trying to create a safe. >> Police observe visible marks on the teen's body consistent with being struck. >> Officers explain that incidents involving parents physically injuring a child must be investigated under child abuse laws. >> Situation for you and your mom. Make sure nothing else happens again. Like you feel safe at your dad's house. >> Okay. >> And it's my mom. I don't want the rest of her thankfully. I mean, I didn't [ __ ] deserve that. >> I got you. >> You know what I'm saying? >> I got you. >> I get I get I was being irrespons. >> You're How old? >> I'm 16. >> Has this happened before with you and your mom? >> I mean, we we get in fights constantly, but it's never been like to where it's left marks for consecutive hours like that. Or >> Has anything ever gotten physical? >> Multiple times. >> Have the cops ever been called before? >> No. >> That's from the cord hitting you? Yeah. >> Give her all your information for me. Okay. And then just hang out right here for us. All right. Let's uh make sure he doesn't want to do any paperwork or anything like that. Make sure she doesn't want to and then >> we'll go from there. >> Chandler said they just meeting with a state attorney anytime. >> Officers speak again with the mother. She admits the argument became intense and says she lost control during the confrontation. She explains that ongoing struggles with her son's behavior and mental health had been causing tension in the household. >> Child, it's always child abuse. There's no DV, >> which is what I kind of thought, but also corporal punishment. So, I wasn't really sure. >> He said those are the only two things it can be if it's parental child, either corporal punishment or child abuse. We don't want to fail statement about anything that happened since it's fine court prosecute criminally any of that. No. Okay. All right. Miss heirs. It's errors. Right. Okay. So, do you want to fill out a statement about anything that happened today? Fill out any paperwork today? >> It is completely up to you. It is completely up to you. Um, so you don't want to fill out any paperwork, write a statement? No. Okay. >> What time did all this happen? >> 5:30 this morning. It happened. >> Has anything like this ever happened before? >> Not I mean I I smite my son, but not >> corporal punishment's a little bit different. So it's >> that's one that's one thing. >> I've never hit my son with a car. >> So uh I know his dad lives in Altimont. Like would it be all right if he went and stayed with his dad for a bit just to keep everything >> Yeah. >> chill. >> So, let me make sure we just got everything. He you said he was up till 5 in the morning on a playing a video game or on a computer. >> Um, and then what transpired from there? You guys got into an argument about him staying up all night? >> More. Yeah. Not just the all night. Like >> the mother acknowledges grabbing the cord during the argument, but says she does not clearly remember exactly what happened in the heat of the moment, >> the accumulation of the last couple of years. And um I was very nasty. He was very nasty. And you know, we were in each other's faces. He was trying to block my computer. >> Oh wow. >> And I did get the cord >> at some point. I started feeling like >> Okay. And honestly, I'm not exactly sure what I had. >> You know, I I'm not sure what I said. >> I'm not sure what phone. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> Really? Just a moment of fear. >> It's okay. Did you talk to him before about playing computer games that night or anything like that? >> Yes, ma'am. >> I was really affected by I know it sounds silly to care about right now, but um something we've talked about over the last couple years is uh you know state of his mental health >> and he's been very depressed and angry angry towards his siblings angry towards me and he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he yes he has been we've been you know talk trying to work it out talking about it he's been disciplined with taking things away horrible punishment all types of different things and I I lost my control >> I understand all right I need you to stand up and put your hands behind your back okay to act like you're paying. Fantastic. Oh, you don't have anything on you, right? >> All right. So, based on everything that happens today, we're going to charge you a child abuse pay. You mean you'll get up on, so you'll probably be out by the end of the day. Okay. >> All right. Be careful. All right. Face the truck for me. >> Is that dad on the phone? >> This my stepdad. >> Stepdad. Okay. Kind of explain to you what's going on. You can kind of relate to him if you want. If you want to put on a speaker so he can hear it, that's fine. Yes. >> Um, >> obviously right now, even though you didn't want to do any paperwork, she didn't really want to do any paperwork. This being >> officers arrest the mother for child abuse, the teen is informed that the legal process will continue through the state attorney's office and arrangements are made for him to stay safely with family members while the case proceeds. >> Domestic in nature, we have to do something. Okay. Uh, she is the primary aggressor. Um, if you're wearing a hoodie and you're getting hit with a a cord and you have a mark on you over a hoodie, you got to be hit pretty hard, right? Um, yes, I understand there's corpal punishment, everything like that. But when you're leaving marks, it's a different story. >> Okay. Um, so the way domestic stuff works is she's going to be arrested. It's a no bond. Um, she'll see a judge in the morning. Um, it being Friday, today, probably won't see one on Saturday. Probably wait till Monday at that point. Unless the judge or somebody the court sees that there's a reason for her to bond out or whatever it is that she'll get that but typically not. Right. You'll get a temporary like no contact order with her until they set like a court date and everything. Does stepdad live here or is he lives here? Okay. >> Okay. Um so I mean you're not going to have to go anywhere. You can say your stepdad. Um and then they'll figure everything out courtwise as far as what's going to happen with her if it's whether it's time served or you know this is is going to go down further in court, right? But just for the incident that occurred even >> if I was to like if I was to go to court and like something I can do about serving less time and no time at all. >> Yeah. So what's going to happen? The state attorney is going to reach out to you guys and then they're going to talk to you see if this is something that you guys want to take further. Right. Um when we show up we take the initial arrest, right? we just have public cause to do this. As far as the charge that ends up sticking or whether she gets convicted or not or whether it's time served or a day or she already bonded out and that's all it is, that's going to be up to the state attorney. And again, they'll typically get in contact with you and then ask you, hey, do you want this? Do you want to continue your prosecute or you just want to drop this and let this go? >> And then if you just say this, you know, this was my fault or whatever the situation was like it won't happen again, they'll be like, okay, see you later. >> Yeah. >> Right. So that's all going to be on the state attorney side. So, she's probably going to spend so she's going to end up spending the weekend as well. >> Could be the weekend. Definitely the night. >> All right. Just face the truck for me. Spread your feet. I know you said you don't have anything on you, but I just got a choke. Okay. All right. Can you look at me and open up your mouth? There we go. Wiggle your tongue. All that good stuff. Okay. Awesome. I want to feel inside your hair real quick. Make sure you don't have anything there. Okay. Can you take this side off for me? I'm just going to shake this out real quick. Okay. So, you don't have anything up in there. All right. You slide on in. Perfect. Here's a business card with the case number on it and everything like that. Okay. So, you can give it to dad. You can keep it. >> Okay. >> I know it's not what you wanted to see, but unfort >> The mother was arrested and charged with child abuse. Remember, family conflicts can escalate quickly when emotions are high, especially when long-term stress and communication breakdowns are involved. when physical injury occurs during a dispute involving a minor law enforcement must prioritize the safety of the child and follow legal procedures regardless of family relationships. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. Situations like this show how quickly an argument at home can spiral out of control. It's sad seeing families reach this point, but it's good. The officers stepped in. Hopefully, the family can get the help they need to resolve things in a healthier way. You think the officers were out of options here? Watch what happens next on the body cam and tell us if you would have done the same. The next incident is when little girl's 911 call rescues her from insanely dangerous mother. >> Holded her hands over my mouth and her. She said she wants to me. She said I'm a b word. >> Don't please. >> She does. >> On October 27th, 2024 officers responded to a residence after receiving a report that a young girl said her mother had been verbally harassing her and making threatening statements. >> Baby, I just said officer.

She said >> the child explains that her mother frequently insults her, tells her she is not loved, and makes threatening statements toward her. Officers move the child to a patrol car so they can speak with her privately and keep her calm. >> You're done breathing. And she's also trying to She said she doesn't love me. She said she hates me.

Okay. >> While officers speak with the girl, the mother continues reacting emotionally outside. Officers reassure her that the child is not being taken away and that they are only trying to understand what happened. >> Don't take my baby. >> We're not taking her anywhere. He is just coming to talk to her. That's why I wanted to step inside to be able to speak with you. >> Can you tell me what's going on? >> No, please don't tell me. >> He is not taking her. He is going to talk to her. It is cold. So, she's going to be right there. >> I know. I want her. >> So, what is happening? What What is happening now? >> She's a warrior.

Anyways, nonetheless, I got >> The woman continues denying wrongdoing and maintains that the husband is the abuser. Deputies transport her to jail for booking while the child remains with the father. >> So, you won't be allowed to bond. He won't be allowed to bond. So if she could find somebody else to do it, >> she will be back out here. >> Okay. Now, let me ask yall a question. So her brother, okay, I know she going to call him now.

No, I was on prescription pain medication, but he's the one that you use. >> Definitely. Yes. No, I'm not on. >> We're going to go in here. Step on the yellow foot. >> The woman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, simple battery cruelty to children, and exploitation of a disabled or elderly person. Remember, domestic violence investigations often rely on visible injuries, witness statements, and prior incidents to establish probable cause. When a child is present during a violent dispute, officers prioritize the child's immediate safety and may pursue additional charges related to child endangerment. This is the reaction of netzens to the situation. Regardless of who started it, that baby shouldn't be around this kind of chaos. The officers stayed calm and focused on protecting the child first. This situation shows how complicated domestic disputes can be when both sides accuse each other. 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 police save family from a stepmother too toxic to care for them. >> The kids got in the middle of the altercation. I am bruised up. >> She came after me and her and it was he had to defend his kids. >> We're engaged. He threw my ring tonight. He was at the strip club. >> She broke my dad's phone. >> On September 23rd, 2024 deputies from the St. John's County Sheriff's Office respond to a residence after reports of a violent domestic dispute between a couple >> didn't hit him.

Hold on. We were arguing. The kids got in the middle of the altercation. I am bruised up. He threw a a chair at my face. >> Baby, I'm not aggressive. >> He's broke my face, too.

Can you go ahead and sit down for me? >> Yeah. >> May I go grab a cigarette? I'm not trying to argue. >> Look, I didn't do nothing, baby. >> Okay, just go ahead and sit down for me. >> The man and other witnesses, including a teenager in the home, tell a different story. They claimed the woman had been aggressive throughout the day, hitting him repeatedly, throwing drinks and damaging property. >> Would you like me to show you everything? Do you have your ID on you? >> Yeah. Inside. >> Do you guys need fire rescue or anything? Do you know? >> Okay. >> Sir, do you do you need the ambulance? >> Me? >> Yeah. >> No. Nobody seriously [ __ ] >> Do you have a video of anything? >> Kyla videos. >> She's been aggressive all day long. >> My forearms are swollen.

Um, so we've been arguing because he was not he we've had an altercation since last week. >> Um, we've had disagreements. He's not supposed club. >> When questioned, the woman admits she threw a candle and broke the man's phone because she felt disrespected after discovering he had been at the strip club. She also acknowledges throwing drinks at him during the argument. >> He was at the strip club all day drinking. My friend runs the strip club. She said he wasn't supposed to be driving home. >> I called him. He drove home. It's just been a fight ever since. >> St. John's. >> We've been arguing. I got a chair thrown at me. >> And what what happened today? What started it? >> Um, so what started it was him being at a strip club. He told me it was he was on the way home. He wasn't on the way home. He was sitting up there drinking. That's been a problem. >> Um, we were arguing about it. >> Can you stand right here for me? >> Yeah. >> Just so I can keep an eye on both of you guys. >> Yeah. No. >> All right.

I told him I was done with the [ __ ] cuz tired of feeling disrespected. >> Okay. Come closer to me. >> Look at her record. >> All right. Can you come here for me? Really, Derek? >> Yeah. All you got to do is look at her record. just again just so we can be more private. Um, so it happened. You guys were arguing. You went to a strip club or >> just talk to me. >> So, does he bite? >> Can you grab her by color for a second, please? >> Harley, I felt disrespected. >> So, you guys were arguing? Yes. I'm trying to see what happened today. Okay. You guys were arguing. You went to go to the bathroom. Nothing happened. >> I was in the shower. Um, no, we were arguing before that. We had some correspondence. I threw a candle. >> Okay. >> It didn't hit him. It hit the thing. Um I went and took a timeout. Went and got in the shower while I was in the shower. He came in there and broke my phone. We got into an altercation. I came out of the shower. I said, >> "I'm going to call the police if you start." So then he threw a chair at me. The chair hit me. >> Um before she got in the bath, she broke my dad's phone. >> I did. >> Threw it on the ground. >> I did. It's It's not shattered like mine. >> Actually, yeah, it is. So, the phone said my name. >> Witnesses, including the man's teenage child, report that the woman repeatedly hit the man in the face and stomach and continued confronting him even after he tried to leave with the children to calm the situation. >> You guys touch each other then? >> Yes. I pushed him because I was like, "Why are you breaking my phone at this point? I'm in the shower. I'm leaving you alone. I want to leave." >> Okay. So when you threw his phone first, did he push you at all? Did he touch you? >> Okay. So he touched you when you threw his phone. So before him that did you guys touch each other then? Did you guys physically hit each other or anything? >> Okay. So he hit you first. How did he hit you? With what hand? How did he hit you? >> He pushed me first. I I don't want to press charges.

You're bleeding. Okay. So, I need to make sure that I understand the story. And he pushed you with both hands or how did he push you? >> I I fell over the table first and then I fell over a chair. >> Okay. So, you were outside of the bath in the middle of bath. >> Um, I believe so. It happened so fast. >> You were still naked. >> Okay. So, he pushed you over a table or something. And then what did you do after that? How did you react >> after the altercation? So when he shattered my phone, I finished my shower, took a timeout, and went and smoked a cigarette out back. >> So you didn't push him back when he pushed you first? >> I I did when we were arguing, but then I was just like, I'm going to take a time out. I'm going to finish my shower. >> He left. I was sitting outside. We >> How long did he leave for? >> 10, 15 minutes. And then got food >> with all the kids? >> Yeah. I told him he need to bring my child back. >> How long have you guys been together? >> Um almost 2 years. Hi. Was it your phone first or his room? Both? >> Um, it was his phone first.

I said I contacted Ava. I wanted to leave and he got started getting off. Deputies examine visible injuries on both sides and review statements from everyone present. Based on the accounts and evidence, they identify the woman as the primary aggressor in the incident. >> Threw a chair at me. That's when I got the chair to >> So he took he threw two chairs at you? >> One, I think one or two. I'm not sure. >> Okay. Okay. No, cuz you said earlier he had >> I know the metal chair hit me in the face. >> Okay. No, I see I see some swelling and stuff. So, he threw the chair one time or two times at you? I >> I'm not sure to be honest with you. I I don't want to fabricate the situation. >> Yeah. Are you willing to do everything on a sworn statement? I >> I don't want to put him in jail. >> Well, it's not up to you or your sworn statement. It's up to us. So, your sworn statement is just basically stating that everything that you're telling me is the truth and the whole truth. >> I do not want him going to jail. >> Okay. >> I'd rather have a timeout if that's okay. >> Yeah. You were outside in the back. Did you fall at all? I know you have some grass and stuff on you. When did you fall? When you threw the chair or when? >> Yeah, when I was trying to get up. >> Okay.

Take a breath. >> All right. >> The woman was arrested and charged with battery cruelty toward a child and resisting an officer. Remember domestic disputes often involve conflicting accounts. So, officers must rely on physical evidence, witness statements, and observed behavior to determine the primary aggressor. When children are present during violent incidents, law enforcement may add additional charges to address the risk to their safety. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. Situations like this show how arguments can spiral out of control when emotions take over. The officers stayed patient even when the stories kept changing. It's good the kids were separated from the conflict before it got worse. You think this call can't get worse? The body cam captures the exact second officers rush in comment if you felt that spike. The next incident is when police save elderly man from his extremely controlling wife. >> She had me trapped in the bathroom. She grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall and I'm scared to be here with her. >> He was shot and almost killed by a drug dealer. He's in so much trauma and needs your help. I'm scared. >> On January 18th, 2024, police responded to a residence after an elderly man reports that his wife assaulted him while he attempted to call emergency services.

She I got up this morning and all the heat was cut off in the house. The TV was unplugged. The microwave was out on the porch.

Excuse me. >> What was she saying to you? >> Same thing she's saying now. All kinds of crazy stuff about me need going to the hospital and being off my medication and all this. >> Okay. >> She's a paranoid. >> Do you need to go to the hospital? >> Excuse me? >> Do you need to go to the hospital? >> No, I don't need to go to the hospital. My son will come by here, wrap my arm for me. >> You want to get checked out by a ambulance? >> No. Not going to let >> So, she was just arguing with or you guys were arguing. The husband states that the conflict began shortly after she woke up that morning and began yelling. He says he attempted to leave and call police, but she followed him into the bathroom and forcefully took his phone >> about the whole what the whole doctor thing or something else. >> Don't listen to her. Just talk to me. >> That's That's what the argument was about.

She claims she was trying to protect her husband from outside threats and insists that he is under medical care and needs protection. >> I can't I'm scared to be here with her to go to US Army and be informed of what's going on. He was shot and almost killed by a drug dealer. He's in so much trauma and needs your help. >> Ma'am, >> I need to go sit down. I'm tired from surgery. Okay. He cannot leave here. >> Right. >> She wouldn't let him leave. Please go look at my papers. >> Can I talk for a sec? >> Yes, sir. >> What was the argument that took place about today? >> Um dealer was trying to kill him. So, I had to stop interfere.

Remember, domestic violence can occur in any relationship, including among elderly couples, and victims may hesitate to seek help until situations escalate. Law enforcement officers must carefully assess statements, physical evidence, and behavior to determine who the primary aggressor is. This is the reaction of netisens to this situation. It's sad to see situations like this where someone clearly needs professional help. The officers stayed calm and patient even though the situation was confusing. I'm glad the man was able to get help before things became more dangerous. What do you think about these situations?
