Okay. >> Conflicting explanations are given by adults in the home regarding who left the doors open and who was responsible at the times. >> She says she was headed there to go see her teacher. Um, you guys were up here sleeping. >> Yeah, I was asleep. >> You were sleeping? >> Mhm. >> Okay. You just got here, correct? >> All right. Um, you said >> you said your brother was here but must have left. Are you you're not the brother? >> No. >> Okay. >> All right. Um, okay. Do you know when your brother's going to be back by chance? >> No, he's sitting right there. He probably not going to say anything. Say right there. >> Oh, he's right. He's right there. Okay. >> All right. Oh, and then you were asleep, right? So, did he know you were asleep? >> Yeah, everybody's here. Everybody's sleep. The door just got left open. >> She's She's all right.

If it was like 2:55 cuz I just went to sleep. She was up here. So, I'm like an hour. I probably don't think it was a hour hour. All right. the art. We got we got called at 2:55 and it's almost it's 3:55 now. So, not quite not quite not quite an hour, but you know what I mean. You know what? >> Yeah. So, she just left when everybody went to go get get out of school. >> We're over over 30 minutes anyway. And that's that's thankfully the bus driver saw her and not somebody else that wanted to do her harm.

Just give it to them. I'mma step outside. What happened? >> Cuz she left the house. All the doors get locked now. Never. >> We're going to hold up before you walk out. All right. >> Because responsible adults here let a three-year-old child go for over a half hour. Yeah. >> Okay. And I got to And well, because someone's getting arrested. That's why. >> Who's getting arrested? >> I'm going to break it down like that. Somebody >> I left. I don't care about that. I'mma walk outside. I went to go pick my daughters up. And if you and if and if you left the doors open and you were the only responsible party that was awake, you left all the kids here by themselves unattended because she was asleep. >> No, I >> Yes, that's what >> we don't know if you left We don't know who left the door open. >> My brother explained to you cuz I'm going to walk right out that door. So, I need you to move out the way. When I had went to go get the kids, remember when I walked by, the doors were open already. So, when I came up like when I came up the stairs, I wasn't even I thought she was still in school. You know what I'm saying? So, when I had went out the doors, of course, I closed both doors. So, when I had left, I actually thought I might have had saw her, but it didn't really focus in my mind like that because she shouldn't be leaving the house like that anyways. You know what I'm saying? >> So, you think you may have saw her outside? >> Yeah. So, so look, if I would have took if I would have stayed on the crosswalk and kept on walking, I would have actually saw her. You know what I'm saying? Then I'd have been like, "Yo, what the hell?" But I had went on the side of the bus, you know? >> Yeah. Let him go because I'm about to go to jail. >> Hold on. >> Said you're going to jail. Just didn't say that. >> Somebody's about to go to jail. >> So I'm about to get the fall. >> So I'm about to take the fall cuz period. >> It's not taking a fall. Just ask them before I walk out the door. Have nothing. [laughter] Here's the deal. I don't know who I'm not trying to arrest a person. That's not >> But it could be it could. But listen, it don't matter. somebody. We don't know who who responsible. That's what we're telling you right now. Who left the doors open? >> I can investigate. I'm pretty sure that the door was closed and she opened it. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. But it's that middle door that she can't open. So that middle door [clears throat] need to be closed and locked, >> right? But that's not the only thing. Now be quiet. Everybody be quiet. >> Child protective services. CPS involvement is explained. Officers recommend door alarms, clear supervision plans, and that at least one adult remain awake when the child is home. >> Jessica, because this situation could have been [ __ ] worse. Now, shut up. >> You're absolutely right. Now, be quiet. >> You're not going to tell me nothing to do with it. >> You do have something to do with it. >> No, I don't. We could walk outside. >> You were a responsible party. We don't know. >> No, not my kid. And I'm not no responsible party here. >> You're not going to get >> No, he's not. No, he's not. My brother was thinking when I had walked outside, right? When I had walked outside to go, I did see her bottle >> right right there by the couch. You know what I'm saying? But it's not thinking to me that, oh, she left outside because she's supposed to be in the house. You know what I'm saying? So, when I walked outside to go get the uh go get my daughter, she must have [music] left 20 minutes prior. >> They said 2:55. Yeah. That's when they called. That's when the kids got released from school. >> Yeah. Like around that time. Yeah. >> So when I did think that I had >> when you went to go pick my when you went to go pick my >> supervisors confirm the incident will be handled through CPS. A safety plan is outlined rather than immediate removal. >> And if you if she's home and all the other kids are gone, somebody has to be awake to supervise her. >> No, she's this I'm not worried about. She takes a nap. >> No, she takes a nap. It's going to be her. She's going to have to go upstairs and watch TV cuz there's a door for upstairs. But she does. She takes when she when I go take a nap, she takes a nap. >> Okay. >> She was supposed to be watching TV. >> With CPS, if you're sleeping, if anyone's sleeping, it's not supervised. So, if you can have someone be awake while you take a nap, that would be ideal. >> He's always here. He just had an appointment. He's always here. This the kids's father, so he's always here when when I go to sleep. Well, it seems like a clear lack of communication today. It happens. I get that. But 45 minutes is a long time. That's why we're all concerned about it. She's adorable, too. Such cute kids. >> Beautiful. >> She woke up when I woke up. [music] >> And I think your case with Kim is still open. We are all kinds of behind. All of us are. So, she'll get in touch with you likely tomorrow and it'll just go with her case. You'll have that same worker. And you gave me her card.

No bond information was provided as she awaited further court proceedings. Remember, even short lapses in supervision can place very young children in serious danger, especially in residential areas near roads. When multiple adults are present, clear communication about who is supervising is critical to child safety. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. That bus driver probably saved that kid's life. Way too many adults, but no one is watching the child. Glad police focused on prevention before something worse happened. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision. [bell] That changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. The next incident is when police find babies left alone while parents go gamble. >> Understand why you be detained? >> Okay.

Both adults were charged with two counts of felony child [music] neglect for leaving two minors unattended while going to a nearby arcade. Remember, leaving minors unattended, [music] even briefly, can trigger immediate law enforcement and child welfare involvement. Clear supervision plans are critical when traveling with dependent in public accommodations. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. I'm glad staff spoke up when they heard crying. Hotel cameras really helped clarify the timeline. This shows how fast a situation can [music] escalate. You think the officers were out of options here?

Fine. is not just >> she she apparently pays rent to both of them and she's the whatever of both so she can secure >> one will be one time getting female >> she's claiming that she pays both >> oh she just told me to close the door >> I'm going to go in there and take some pictures and then when I'm done you can secure it Okay, just wait out here for a second.

The woman was charged with multiple felonies, including aggravated battery of a police officer, resisting or obstructing a peace officer, and criminal damage to property along with a misdemeanor count related to endangering a minor. Remember officers prioritize scene control and safety when minors are present during an arrest. Escalation and resistance can lead to additional charges during law enforcement encounters. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. I'm relieved the minor was removed safely from the situation that escalated quickly once officers tried to make the arrest. body cam really shows how chaotic these scenes can become. 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. >> Wrong way. >> Don't touch me. >> Don't touch me. Leave me alone. Let me go. On May 22, 2023, officers respond to a high school after a suspended 19-year-old student refuses to leave campus despite multiple directives. >> Thank you. If you go anywhere besides the front office, >> well, I am Let's go. Come on, man. >> He needs to go off campus. >> Wrong way. >> You got to um >> Don't touch me. Don't touch me. >> Go this way. He's asking you don't make it worse than what it means to be. You got to leave campus. >> You have to leave campus. >> You can't be on campus. >> Calm down. Stop. >> Relax. Relax. We just need you to exit campus. That's it. So we can walk with you to campus. Like off campus. Come on. You're making it worse than what it needs to be. >> Stop. Stop. >> Relax. Stop. [snorts] Leave me alone. Making it work. [clears throat] [laughter] Let's go to that corner. >> Stop. >> You just need to ask all we asking you to do. >> Leave me alone. Back up. >> No. Leave me alone. Now you touch me. >> Officers warned that refusal to leave will result in trespassing charges. The student continues resisting verbal commands. >> Don't touch me. Stop. Stop. [snorts] [panting] Please don't. >> All you need to do is look like we asked. >> We asked nicely. >> Leave me alone. Let me let me go. >> All we need is to walk. That's it. >> Let me [gasps] >> If you want to walk [clears throat] >> either that or trespassing, which one you want? >> Let me [laughter] go. [panting] [snorts] You're not going to win. Back up. Stop. >> You got to get off camera. >> Stop. Relax. >> We're doing too much. You You're saying that wrong? >> What do you mean? >> Don't touch me. She missed me out one arm. >> There you go. >> I'll go. >> No. >> No. School administrators explain the suspension stemmed from a prior smoking incident and that she was explicitly told not to return. >> Who just hit me? >> Go for two. >> No one hit you. >> Who just hit me? >> No one hit you. >> A [ __ ] tight, man. >> Go for two. Don't let me go, man. Don't let me go down. >> So, just to give you a rundown >> get the one from >> This is one of the ones from >> the U smoking incident. >> The next day when she showed up here. >> Mhm. So, we gave her, >> she's on campus to finish her stuff. >> Miss Smith said that there was nothing to get completed. >> So, we gave her the opportunity once more to leave campus. >> Did not want to leave campus. Finally got her out of Miss Owen's room. Started walking towards the front door. Decided to take a detour. Grabbed it by her arm. She's like I was like, "No, you're going the wrong way. Let me go." And started pulling away from me. And now we're here. >> So this is really not about us. >> Mhm. >> This is about graduation. >> So it's projected as a homeless. >> Exactly. Besides the fact that besides the fact that her actions led up to this, >> the student pulls away when an officer grabs her arm to redirect her toward the exit. I don't know. >> Huh? >> You need to log in first. H >> she's supposed to be off campus >> and she was refusing to leave campus at first. Then she said that she was going to walk and then when I told her go to the front door any anywhere less you're going to get arrested. So when she went to the front door, coming down from the cafeteria towards the front door, then she wanted to go towards the patio and then that's why I grabbed her. I was like, "No, we're going the wrong way." >> And then went to grab her by the arm. She pulled away and then that's how she ended up in cuffs. >> Okay. >> Mhm. >> Resisting. Yep. She slam the wall. >> Physical resistance escalates. Officers place the student in handcuffs. >> I don't know. Um I know her mom just had a kid. Um so she has senior privilege. She only has three classes. She has a first period and third period. Um, so what I explained to her last week was since you're a senior, we we're just waiting on test scores. Um, whatever event took place, all of them got the same consequence. You're not doing that because we're done. I told her I would contact her to see to let her know if she passed her SAT to let her know if she needed to come today to take her. I let her know that she did not pass SAT, so she did not need to come. So when I saw her, she just ignored me, walk past me. Then I tried to slow her down, kept walking past, Miss Kennedy knows as well, tried to stop her, didn't adhere to her direction. So that's when I called Miss >> We go for two. Um, she was not up here. So I went to her third period class. She was sitting in her third year class called her two three times check out as Owen said just listen just listen go ahead said over he tried to talk to her talk to her nothing and then when he said you going to walk out handcuffs or you going to walk out by yourself she got up took the right out of go ahead for her to gohead >> officers explain that refusal to leave after notice qualifies as trespassing regardless of intent too. >> Took it right out of Paw's class. >> Can you go to channel two? >> And then that's Go ahead. There's nothing for her to make up. She has intensive reading. She has my math class, which has a sub, and she has his own class. She came on campus the next day after the incident happened. I wasn't here, but I was told that that was an issue. People were chasing her around. And I >> you weren't supposed to be here to begin with. >> That became my paper that day. >> Today my referral paper today Miss I could come back and make up my work. >> Look at my team. Miss Hoffman said I could come back and make up my messages to prove it. You ready to listen? a great a sophomore as a teacher. I am an assistant principal as a dean. We have communicated to you that you were expected not to come back. No, I didn't. Yes, it is. So, Miss Hoffman cannot supersede what the administrators have already told whatever makeup work that's not important. Whatever makeup work did not open. I explained that to you last week. misdiagnosed to be honest. This very misdcult you cannot be here. You have to leave. and you chose something. You chose to pull away from a law enforcement deputy that was trying to test out again because the whole purpose was to avoid you getting in trouble, just to have you leave so you don't get in trouble. And you escalated the situation to where you're in handcuffs right now. >> You're a grown adult. You should know better by now. >> Everybody got the same consequence. Everybody that was in the room got the same consequence. So, it's not like we did anything different. >> Just like I told the other kids that were in that room. They they weren't in there and didn't know that somebody was smoking. There's no way you could not know. The whole room was full of smoke. You came down to the hallway 10 minutes after they walked out and the room was still full of smoke. So, and you're not supposed to be in there. So, you're out of area doing what you're not supposed to be doing as an adult school camp as an adult. Like, that's I don't understand where the confusion is. >> How old are you? You're going to die. report. My mama called me and said without your drug test. >> The student continues arguing while being escorted out, insisting [snorts] the situation was unfair. >> Y'all did not drug test me. >> When does the school drug test? You know that >> don't drug test the second drug test if they're on probation. >> But here for 3 years he's been working this for like >> you were suspended but did you get drug testing? >> No. So the drug testing is >> So what was the plan to suspend me? >> Cuz you're out of area. >> Yeah, I could have told me that. >> You knew that. That's what the suspension was for. Out of area. >> How about what? >> Who? >> You're saying mom sent you to school? >> Go ahead, sir. >> Go ahead, sir. >> She didn't send you. Call me please. >> I just now got the message of not pass. >> I think that where where the issue lies is and this is this is going forward for the rest of your life, right? If if someone who's a representative of an establishment says you need to leave, you're not allowed to be here and you choose not to go when they tell you to leave, then that still applies for trespassing because your invitation there has been revoked. >> So even if >> Yes, sir. >> So even if she said come on back today and then you got here and she goes, "Nope, never mind. You didn't you don't need to take this test. You need to leave now. You have to go." >> What What did you do anyway? What you got a warrant? Huh? >> She got >> no trespassing and um resisting without >> Wait, you she go here? She go >> what? You uh they say you're an adult. She How many time you stay back? >> She went to DJ. So >> I went to DJ. I'm sorry5. Come on now. >> Girl, you was just all sweet on the phone with your mama. Now you want to sell out again. >> This is a different place to go. My ears. my ear. >> You say one more thing. You walking out with them braids showing. I swear. >> I swear you going to walk out with them braid showing. >> The 19-year-old suspended student was charged with trespassing on school property after refusing to leave campus. She was additionally charged with resisting an officer without violence for pulling away during the escort. Remember, ignoring lawful orders from school officials and police can quickly escalate minor issues into criminal charges. Once permission to remain on campus is revoked, refusal to leave can legally become trespassing. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. This could have ended in 5 minutes if she just walked out. Being 19 means school rules don't protect you anymore. So unnecessary pride made everything worse. What do you think about these situations?

Okay. >> The mother was charged with child endangerment for driving after drinking and failing to secure the baby in a car seat properly. The father was charged with child abuse related to unsafe handling of the infant during the roadside altercation. He was also charged with domestic battery based on evidence of physical injury to the mother and resisting arrest. While child protective services took steps [music] to ensure the baby's safety, remember poor judgment during stressful situations can quickly put others at risk, especially children. Child safety laws exist to prevent harm, regardless of intent or emotional circumstances. This is the reaction of netzens to this situation. The situation escalated because no one stayed calm or responsible. It's scary how fast a bad decision can endanger a child. I'm glad police stepped in before it got worse. Think this situation was already intense. The body cam catches a split-second decision that changes everything. Comment if you saw it coming. >> I didn't want to take any chances, especially with the kid in the car. >> Can I fall asleep? >> Oh, yeah. You were out. Yeah, you're out. You were sleeping [music] real good. You're deep into dreamland. >> Yeah. On March 16th, 2024, an unfit mother gets caught drunk and asleep behind the wheel with her toddler in the car. An officer was on routine patrol when he observed a vehicle that had been parked at a traffic light for quite some time. When the officer went to investigate, [music] she saw that the mother was clearly intoxicated. >> I took the keys out. Oh, >> okay. I was going to say I don't want >> I already took the keys out. So, there there's a kid in the passenger seat. Child abuse, neglect, dangerous. Let's wake up. You say Madison. >> Madison. Madison. >> Hey. Hey. >> What? >> Are you Madison? >> Yeah. >> Can you look at me? >> No. Hit [snorts] the brass light. >> What? >> The brass lo. >> What? >> The light. The light. The light. The light. >> The light. Okay, I got you. Okay, so I pointed it away. Hi. >> Hi. >> Good morning. >> Good morning. >> How are you? >> I'm good. >> Okay. Do you know where you're at? >> Um, >> we're not looking at the street sign. >> Close home. >> Okay. Where were you going this late at night? >> I was going home. I just stopped cuz I needed to take a breather. >> Yeah, for sure. I was upset and like >> where did you come from or did you just leave the house? >> The driver states she had stopped because the vehicle was messing up and admits she may have fallen asleep. Officers observe an open alcoholic beverage container inside the car. >> I dropped somebody off. You dropped somebody off? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have any ID on you? >> Do you have any You don't have any weapons in the car? Knives or guns or anything like that? Okay. >> Thank you. I'm not like I wasn't driving. >> You were what? >> I know how this looks. Oh my god. >> That's okay. Well, I already saw it. You don't have to hide it. >> I'm not hiding. I just like Oh my god. Like >> Yeah. >> It looks so dumb. >> Yeah. >> Like >> Yeah, >> that's not what I was doing. >> What were you doing? >> I was just trying to get home. But my car was messing up, so I shut it off. >> Oh, the car was messing up. >> Yeah. >> You shut it off? >> Yeah, I shut it off and I was just >> No, I took the keys out. >> Oh, did you? Yeah. >> I'm still I guess I'm >> I don't want you to get spooked and drive away. >> I guess. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> I didn't want to take any chance, especially with the kid in the car. >> Did I see him fall asleep? >> What's that? >> Did I fall asleep? >> Oh, yeah. You were out. >> Yeah, you're out. You were sleeping real good. You were deep into dreamland. >> Yeah. >> Do you know where you're at? >> Yeah, literally I was leaving. >> Leaving him. >> Drivers will be off. >> Charlie. >> Charlie. >> Officers question the driver about alcohol consumption. She admits to drinking several beers and liquor earlier in the evening while still responsible for transporting the child. >> I went to go pick him up and like I got him off at a house. Okay. >> But my car is messing up so I stopped here. >> I was getting ready to pull down that way and that's probably when I guess fall asleep. >> Yeah, >> that's actually happened. >> Well, you put the car in park, so that's good. >> That's what happened. >> Yeah, at least that you did that. Yeah. >> What were we doing with the bottle? That was just what Yeah. It's just >> you just carry that around with you. >> I just carry it around. >> You can take her out. Is that do the whole question thing with him? I mean, it doesn't matter. >> What's that? >> If I'm going to get arrested, can we just do that? >> Yeah, but there's a process. So, we can't just like >> We don't just talk. >> We can't just like fast lane it. Yeah, we got to >> anyone that can watch them or >> your mom. So, I pulled up to the lights and I see this car sitting here. This I'm like just kind of waiting. I'm like, is it going to pull out? Like, what's it going to do? And I'm like, well, it's been some time. Now I have to go. Now I have to go investigate. >> Now I got to go take a look. >> Yeah. Now I got to Well, so then I come back around here to try to get in front of her just in case. The car was on. It was in cart. I didn't want her to get spooked and take off, especially with the kid. So I reached in, he's out. They're both knocked out. Had to shake her to get her to wake up, drool and everything. So when she noticed the fireball, she tried to put it away. I hurt it so much. >> Yeah. >> Did you got her driver's license? >> Yes. >> Yeah. I might need you or something. I just got >> I was stopped and I don't know what's going to happen, but I don't know what's happening right now. They're >> Yeah, we'll figure >> standardized field sobriety tests are conducted. The driver shows difficulty maintaining balance and following instructions during the exercises. >> We'll figure that out. >> How much have we had to drink tonight, Madison? >> A couple beers. >> Couple beers. >> Well, why don't you do me a favor and step out for me? Okay. >> They're doing their thing right now, so I got to go. >> All right. Bye. Love you. >> I'm going to step out. I fell asleep last time. >> Walk right up here for me. Okay. You said you had a couple beers and some fireball. Where where were you drinking that at? Come on over to a friend's house. I checked it to our friend's house. >> Okay. All right. Come right up here. So, a couple beers. How many How many is a couple? >> Two. >> Two. Okay. Oh, different people have different numbers. So, >> all right. Step right over here for me. Turn and face me. I'm going to ask you to perform a few standardized field exercise. You willing to do that for me? >> Yeah. >> Okay. First thing I need you to see the uh red light here. >> I'm moving from side to side a few times. I don't want you to follow with your eyes only, keeping your head still. My >> eyes are very dry. So, >> okay, I understand. Okay. All right. Do you have any problems with your knees, ankles, or back affect your balance at all? Okay. Okay, what I'm going to have >> based on observations and test performance officers determine there is probable cause for impairment. >> You do is I want you to turn and face that way. I want you to put your left foot on the white line. I want you to put your right foot in front of me just like this. Keep your hands down by your sides. Okay. I don't want you Yep. I want you to stand just like that until I ask you to move. You understand? >> Slides on those. >> You want to take your slides off? That's fine. Go ahead.

Keep your hands down by your side. You're going to pick the foot of your choice. Whichever one makes you more comfortable. You raise approximately 6 in off the ground like this.

Yeah. >> Are you done yet? >> No. You literally just almost pulled my pants out on >> I don't know what that is. Well, why don't you add relax? >> All right, relax. There's no reason for you to be chugging me extra hard like this. >> Really, >> Madison? Lift your left foot back to me. There you go. >> Like I have something on my in my toes. Oh, dirt now. Dirt now cuz >> Officers arrange for the child to be released to another responsible adult. The child is safely removed from the situation without injury. >> Take my shoes off. >> Put your shoes back on. I'm arresting you for July. >> Help her make a phone call, please. >> I'm a cool person. Just let me call. >> All right. So, let's have a seat. Okay. Let's get in the back of the car. >> And when you guys find out that my alcohol level is actually above legal women, do I get released? >> We'll see about that. >> So, have a seat. >> Have a seat. >> Can I get a sim? >> No. >> Nope. Madison, here's where this works. I'm telling you to get in. If you don't, I will make you get in. >> Okay. You didn't let go my arm. >> No, I don't let go of your arm. >> Yes, you do. You're holding on too tight. >> I am cooperative, but you really are getting really too aggressive. >> I'm about to get into the car. You need to let go of my arm. >> So, either you get in or I put you in. >> I'm getting into the car. Let go. >> No, I'm not letting go. >> You don't have to hold on so tight. I'm not resisting. >> I'm getting in the car. I'm asking to let go of me. So tight. So tight. So tight. I'm asking for like I'm asking for letting go. Literally, >> I'm not saying you had to let go, bro. >> But you guys don't do breath lenses on the road to just do road tests. >> Okay. >> All right. I appreciate it. He said he had a few like a few hours ago. He just didn't want to uh chance it uh driving. >> So, you want to take the kid? >> I'll drive with you. Officers confirm DUI charges and notify child protective services due to the presence of the toddler during the incident. >> The car. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I want to see the breathalyzer though. What's my what's my blood alcohol level? >> You're going to notify DCF. >> Absolutely. >> Not tell. Okay. [laughter] >> Do what? >> Tommy's like, I'm not telling you to. Just check me. >> Just make sure. [laughter] >> Not don't yet. Don't take that. >> Thank you. >> Hey, kid. All right. >> Do you want to take I got to talk to you if you want to go get in the bed or whatever you got to do and then I'll talk to you. What's going on with >> She's off her meds. >> Okay. >> She obvious went to jail for >> DUI. >> DUI. >> Reckless. >> Did she leave here? >> Uh yeah, she did. >> That's where she came from. >> Yep. >> Okay. Cuz she said she was coming from someone's house. >> I mean, she left here hours ago. >> Okay. So, she sounds like she possibly went to someone else's house then. I have no idea with how she's been there. >> Okay, she's definitely getting charged with DUI. There's a possibility she's going to get charged with either child neglect or child endangerment. She's driving around drunk. Luckily, nobody got hurt tonight. DCF's going to get notified, okay? Like, we have to. I just like to give people the heads up so that you're not hanging out here one day and all of a sudden, knock DCF's here and you're like, whoa, thinking it's about you. >> I was I mean, I know it's >> I have no idea. So, I can't tell you when obviously I don't work for them. I don't know. They're definitely not the type where they may just wait till Monday. Okay. >> Do you have any questions for me? >> Um, it's not a serious question. >> No. Any any questions on that? >> Can I do you mind if I take the breathalyzer? I just want to see where I was at. >> No, we don't car. But I can tell you. No offense. Good thing you didn't drive. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I'm glad you told me that. >> Sty was charged with driving under the influence DUI and child neglect. Child endangerment due to intoxication while responsible for a minor inside the vehicle. DUI and child related charges referred to the court. Judicial review to determine penalties and conditions. Child welfare agencies to assess family safety and follow-up supervision. Remember, driving under the influence places both the driver and any passengers, especially children, at serious risk, even if no crash occurs. Law enforcement prioritizes [music] child safety immediately while allowing courts and child welfare agencies to determine accountability. This is the reaction of nizens to this situation. It's frightening how quickly a bad decision could have ended much worse. I'm glad the officer noticed the car before anyone got hurt. This really shows how serious DUI laws are when a child is involved. Everyone thought it was too late until the body cam shows the exact second officer step in. Did you predict that [music] rescue?
