I'm going to see if I have a um >> Foley. >> I know the way the world works with ironicness and police work. This is I guarantee I have a sick feeling this is going to be the complaintants kid from the other earlier call. >> He was the complaintants child. >> When I knocked on the door, she's like, "Yeah, this guy's I reconnected with him after high school. He's been acting weird. Now he woke my kid up. >> We're going to go to the police station and sort it all out. Let me see if I have a car seat. Just a minute. >> So, I mean, I kind of want to see if he can point me out to where he lives. He's He keeps pointing over here. >> Well, yeah. I'm assuming he does come to me here, but >> I mean, I hate to say it. I almost want to call this woman and be like, "Hey, Brooke, I just want to make sure you still have your kid." She had a child, a 2-year-old, she said, was awake that he woke up, a boy. And ironically enough, now I have a boy walking in the same area. >> Well, let's let's get their information. Let's get him down to the police department. We're not going to >> Well, no. Obviously, >> turn him over to DCFS. We'll call the police. >> They're not going to take him. >> Thank you.

He says, "Hey, you see what I'm saying?" I talked to my wife. He says, "Yeah, the the boy seems to be frantic and crying." I said, "Whoa." I says, "He's in his pajamas. You know, >> we're going to get him all." And so what happened is that Oh, he's got cross. He says, "Do something." So I turned around really quick. >> You did good, sir. I appreciate it.

I have Caitlyn. Why don't you and Roski go investigate? See if you can find the mom. Pack a bag for him. Take her into custody. Whatever it is. >> Well, if it's her, I'm going to look up a child in danger right off the bat. >> But Right.

I didn't go to bed till like 5:00 in the morning. >> Okay. So, he was in here. >> Yes. In here. And he when I was here when I was here earlier, you said he was awake and I said, "Go pay attention to your child." >> Yes. And then he fell back to sleep. >> I promise you he fell back asleep. Oh my god. >> How much alcohol do you think's in your system right now? >> Crazy. >> You need to be honest with me now.

I literally bought something right here. I bought this that goes over the door. >> Okay. Why isn't it on there? >> Here. It doesn't fit. It doesn't fit. And I mean, you can see I've tried putting it on a million times. And now I have to order a new one. >> Are you willing to take a breathalyzer? I want to see where you're at alcohol-wise. >> Yes. >> 21 from 31. Can you grab me a PBT and meet me up here, please? Cuz I I don't know what to do at this point. Like, I'm going to be honest. Like, this is it's I cannot believe this. I was up all night >> getting over a cold. >> No, you were up all night with a guy you had over. >> Yes. And I don't ever want to see that guy again. And I >> So here's here's how outside perception looks. >> You had to call 911 this morning. What time was that? About 5. >> Yeah, like 5:00 in the morning. because a drunk guy that you were partying with, you hooked back up from high school was over and you no longer wanted to party with him. When you were in your ear, when I was here earlier, your mascara was all running. You looked clearly disheveled. >> You look clearly you look clearly intoxicated. >> Okay. >> And now 2 hours later after you told me your child was awake instead of going to take care of him, it appears to me he went and passed out. I have so I >> the breathalyzer is going to help you a lot cuz if you're going to come back low that's going to help your case. >> Okay, that's fine. I'll do a breathalyzer. >> So I have an officer coming with an important breath test to see where you're at. >> But this looks bad. Do you at least agree with that? >> Yeah, I totally agree. Yes. >> All right. At the very least, can you do me a favor? Can you Cuz your child's at the police department. >> I don't know how long he's going to stay there cuz I'm going to call DCFS. >> No, >> I have to. I'm required to. Can you pack your child a bag cuz he needs a diaper change? >> Yes. Can I call my mom also? >> Not right now. No. I haven't decided if I'm going to arrest you or not yet. >> Why would I get arrested? >> Child endangerment. >> I know, but I but he climbed over the gate. >> That was sleeping. >> I understand that. And that would be fine if we didn't have the prior contact with you. The prior contact with you does not help. >> I was here 2 hours prior. >> Yes. when you clearly appeared intoxicated, kicking your intoxicated hookup out cuz he was walking around with a bottle of tequila. >> Okay. >> You told me then the child was awake. >> I told you go tend to your child. >> Yeah, you did. >> And you went back to sleep. >> Well, he also went back to sleep. I put my son back to sleep also. >> He was asleep. >> Yes, I put him back to sleep. Put him back in bed. And then I went into my room and I went to bed. >> All right. >> And he was awake by the guy not wanting to leave. >> Yes. That's what he was up for at like I don't know. It probably started like 1:00 in the morning. He was yelling all around my house and everything. I tried getting him out of here multiple times. I called his sister multiple multiple times. I left her messages. She wouldn't answer. And you know, I called you guys. You guys got him out of here. I had my son, put him back in his bed and everything. I turned the TV on for him so he can just lay down, relax, and then I went to bed. >> Was he sleeping when you went to went to bed? >> Yeah, he was tired. >> He was tired. I know. See, now I've asked you, was he asleep or did you just lay him down in front of the TV and go lay down? Did you lay with your child long enough? >> I laid with him for a couple minutes and he stayed laying down but he didn't but he was not asleep. >> No, probably not. >> So you So you went to sleep leaving your child laying in his bed watching TV. >> Yes.

Like that was him all night. >> I get you. >> I mean, drinking an entire bottle kept me up till 5 in the morning. >> I understand. >> And then, >> um, I'll be completely transparent with you. Okay. >> That helps you 100%. It does. It's not going to stop what's going to happen. It's going to look better in the police report. >> You guys are arresting me >> for child endangerment. I have to. I don't have a choice. I really don't. You put your child in danger today. >> Okay. >> 100% you did. >> Okay. >> I mean, do you see how do you see how it looks on my end? I mean, I was literally with you 2 hours before told you to take care of your child >> and by your own admittance, the child wasn't asleep when you went to sleep. >> I mean, I hate to say it. We all have rough nights. >> I put in room. >> That's not enough. Putting a child in the room with a gate and you going to sleep is not enough. >> Okay, >> you should have stayed up with your child, but you were up all night with this guy. You made a bad decision today. >> I mean, here's the other things that look bad, Rug is the TV's not plugged in. The cord's all the way over by the gate. The fan's already broken. I'm sure it didn't just come apart when it knocked over. All right. Because there's about an inch and a half of screw that wasn't tightened into the bottom of the fan. >> Okay. >> You know, I mean, like, are you just like putting him to bed like on this mattress right here? >> No. So, I just moved in like two weeks ago. I moved in two weeks ago and I'm still setting up his room. >> Like, let me ask you this. Like, what is he watching on the TV? >> So, the TV was plugged in on the side over there. >> And what's it connected to? What's he watching? >> Uh, Netflix. >> Is it on there for the >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. You plug it in. It's a smart TV. >> Okay. >> Um, >> well, let's do this. Here. Here's where we're at. Did you pack You got a bag for him? >> There's stuff you do. You have a grocery bag or a diaper bag that he uses or >> Yes. Can I ask you? Um, >> are you guys keeping him? >> I don't know. I'm going to call DCFS and see what they want to do. >> Okay. >> I mean, I'm definitely not keeping you. I'm going to take you down to the PD. I'm going to book you and you're going to be released. >> I'm going to be released. I've never been arrested before. >> Yes. The arrest part's going to be painless. I promise that that you'll be in, you'll be out. It's going to be the aftermath that's going to be the kick in the butt for you. >> What is that? >> Dealing with DCFS and figuring out if they're going to let you take your kid home or not >> afterwards. >> Afterwards. cuz I'm going at this point. I've taken protective custody of your child. >> Okay. >> So, >> this has never happened to me for the worst thing in my life. >> Well, and I'm hoping after today that it doesn't happen again. >> Never talk to that guy again. >> Well, that's not even the issue. It's not the guy. You're focusing on the wrong part. It's the decisions you made as a mother afterwards. >> Yeah. And I will get safety locks and everything. Okay. So, I'm being arrested right now. >> Correct. I need some shoes. >> Yes. I was going to ask if I can put like pants on. You can go change if you want. >> Maybe go pee cuz I haven't peed. You're >> not going to jump out the window and take off on me, are you? >> No, I'm not. I live here. >> You've been very cooperative. So, I'm not going to treat you like a straight up criminal. I'll be honest, this is this is disappointing as a parent to watch cuz I mean I'm I'm going to make you feel bad for a minute here. >> Your child jumped into my arms and like literally sunk his head in like he was scared. And well, I mean, I want you to know that stuff. And I'm not saying it to be mean. I'm saying it from a father to a mother that now next time you think about making a bad choice. You think about the traumas the the trauma he went through today. >> Yeah. >> And be happy that there was this nice gentleman going to the airport that stopped, slammed on his brakes, whipped the U-turn, and grabbed your son out of traffic >> cuz he also had dirt and stuff all over his knees. So, he clearly fell going up and down the hill to get to the highway. >> He was probably running around out there. Um, so I know you're arresting me. Like I said, I've never done anything wrong before, [snorts] but I would really appreciate it if you just let me. I'll put it on speaker phone. Just call my mom. >> We'll call him the TV. >> That's fine. You can call my the police department. >> Yeah, but you guys, I've seen it on TV. You brothers, Homeland Security. Like, I've seen it on TV. This isn't TV. >> Homeland Security doesn't have to wait to get a phone call. >> Brooke, I'm extremely transparent. Haven't I not already been? I'm not going to lie to you. I get no benefits of lying. I'm honest to a fault. Usually gets me in trouble. You can. It is true. Like I said, this is not this is not like TV. You can make 12 phone calls if you want. >> Okay. But I can um put it on speaker phone. She lives in Mcllum Lake and I just want to call her. >> We'll probably have to call her at the PD anyway because she might have to come pick up your child. So, let's do this. You go use the restroom. You get some pants on. [snorts] I'm going to trust you to not jump out a window. I know. I'm not going to walk and change cuz that's not allowed. >> I'll change in the bathroom. >> I'm just saying don't go jumping out any windows on me cuz I don't feel like chasing anybody. won't be bringing out any machetes, guns, rocket launchers. >> I'm being overly trusting right now just because you've been so cooperative. >> Thank you. >> I'll try to make this as painless as possible, but I mean, this is a pretty messed up situation. >> Yeah. No, I completely agree. And he did that last night, too. >> Well, >> he laid his hands on me, but I wasn't going to tell you guys for like >> I get We can talk about that afterwards. At this point, let's focus on getting your child where he needs to be. Oh god, I've never had this. Um, is it cold there? >> No, just get some socks. You're fine. It's like 70° out. It's summer. >> Just grab some socks. >> Close to the same temperature in the >> It's going to be fine. >> No, honey. You're going to be back here in an hour. >> You sure about that? >> Yeah. Why would I lie to you? I I don't want to keep you. >> And this hasn't happened like a dozen times before, right, that we're not aware of. um where my son got out, >> right? >> Or this like this thing. >> This didn't happen where you used to live where you've been arrested for this before or anything like that. >> Where'd you move from? >> Bartlett. Bartlet >> with my husband. >> I'm in the middle of like my uh >> I know. Let's focus on getting dressed though. Okay. separated from him like um a month or two ago. >> Okay. >> All right.

They take like a picture and everything, don't they? >> I'm going to have I'm going to have a record. >> You won't have a record necessarily yet. I mean, you're still innocent and prove until proven guilty. >> Yeah, BUT MY SON GOT OUT. THAT'S NOT INNOCENT. >> I should have got sleep last night. I wouldn't worry about the hairspray at all. >> I just got to brush it. >> Throw it up in a pony and let's get >> Where's your phone so we can take it with us on my bed? >> There we go. I'll take it. It's right there. All right, come out here. Don't do that. That just looks bad. >> I just need I know it does, but here you are. >> More worried about You know what I mean?
